Inline Skating Through Montreal Canada | World Champion Joey Mantia Insta360 X4

I don't remember the last time I had this much fun. I left the house with the intention of ending up around downtown Montreal and just followed the bike paths until I got there, insta360 x4 in hand.
Max speed 43kph / 27 mph
Distance 31.5 km / 19.5 mi
Moving Time 1h 19m 30s
Without a doubt it is at least 3 times faster on skates coming from the city to the suburbs along this route during rush hour.
Let me hear in the comments what you think of the video angles and what you might like to see on the next one.
Equipment:
The skates I'm on are made by a Taiwanese custom shoe maker named Huang. Frames and bearings are NSC. Wheels are Bont Avengers. Shades are Oakley Redmace. Helmet is Giro Aether. Galaxy buds 2 earphone. Insta360 X4 camera with the carbon Action Invisible Selfie Stick. Watch is Garmin Forerunner 955. I really should make affiliate links huh
Insta360 settings:
8k/30
standard color profile, all auto
h.265
high bitrate
medium sharpness
Edited on Insta360 Studios, almost all shots are:
FOV 90
Distortion 0.20
Motion ND - spread 30, intensity 15
color plus - 30
Kids, don't go skating in the streets like this. Always wear a helmet even if you see me not wearing one sometimes. Keep it fast, keep it fun.

What a time we live in to get to watch an Olympian fly through the city streets🎉🎉🎉

[@joselara7848]

I love this stuff. I go speed skating with my bonts Luna 13.2 inch frame. I go commute around wearing a running vest for emergency shoes.

[@jakeh7876]

random Montrealer: "Was that blur two time Olympian and world champion Joey Mantia?" but in french of course.

[@Metadosis1]

Love to see you more and more active with this type of content on your channel bro... Your city skate style it's so different (smooth AF) vs. the normal urban skaters i normally watch. Keep it up please with this type of videos Joey! 🔥🚀

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

More to come!

[@RGB-CMYK]

I like the music you put on this video Joey, it reflects the fun you're having on these streets. Good job !

[@nigelbrown2274]

Thank you for uplading this! I found it very interesting to see your technique of controlling your speed using speed skates.... wonderful to watch

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JR-qb7qt]

Old competitor of yours back in the day, came in 2nd after you of course a couple times, one doing a relay with Josh Woods and you were with Jeremy Anderson, and another one in Arizona Race and I can never forget experiencing racing behind you at San Francisco Marathon in 2009 with the power you had but ya even as your competitor I was still a fan of you and brag once in awhile that ya, I raced the world champ a handful of times. Having said all that senseless chatter haha, I remember before I got into speed I used to just put my rollerblades on and skate outside and had so much fun just like what I'm seeing you do in the video. I stopped racing a long time ago because I was just over it, but it's so much fun to keep doing what we love because that's why we all got into it. Keep living your life man and glad you are just having fun! And Lastly, be safe man, no matter how good we are, there are tons of crazy drivers these days and skating as fast as you are on the streets like that, I just would hate to hear if something bad happened so be careful. Just about every cyclist I know has been hit by a car out here in SoCal and it's in more open road than what I'm seeing in your video. Peace!

[@vincentricher3416]

Careful on the roads down here! Montreal is legendary for pot holes and construction cones everywhere 😂 Bienvenue a Montreal! Mange pas trop de poutine mais la bierre est bonne 😉

[@speedintraffic]

Good on you Joey. The internet knows that you rock in so many ways. Don't let the one trick ponies drag you down. Your plyometrics video is one of the greatest things ever.. "This is a MAX EFFORT" rofl

[@leciutkiStudios]

Awesome to watch! Amazing skills!

[@teshaunminor]

One of my favorite speed skaters🫡🫡🫡

[@divac5410]

World champion and daredevil 🤙

[@ronyelias7125]

I like your skating style ❤

[@atosvr2]

kudos joey! i speed skate in upstate new york but mainly on the few bikepaths we have. watching your slowing techniques was encouraging as to what i've figured out. i prolly won't be playing in traffic like you but i'm almost 78, so that's my excuse 😉

[@eduardoballesteroshoffmann6324]

WOW!! WELCOME to Montreal Joey!!

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

thanks!

[@captpoop22]

11:26 Electric bike guy said BYE !!!!! good moment you guys got there !

[@alexmak8305]

I liked the video very much! I'd like to see this kind of videos with good music. And I liked your style of braking - elegant in style and gentle for wheels

[@marimoedmond]

Faster than a motor bike, don't mess with J Mantia🚀

[@seeneek]

Would love to see you do this more often!

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

That's the plan!

[@timmorphine]

How do you bear the vibration on the carbon boots? Every time I try urban my skates go brrrrrrr and I'm like "nope". Very smooth filming, pleasure to watch, add more racing if possible (safety number one of course)

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Some roads were really obnoxious, some were really smooth. I guess the excitement drowns out some of that vibrations with endorphins kicking through traffic. I also lived on skates as a kid so a lot of the annoyances don't really bother me probably

[@eduardoballesteroshoffmann6324]

you missed The Old Port Joey! a beautiful place to roll (beside the Saint-Laurent River) next time let us know to the Roller community of Montreal, to welcome you and meet you in person

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Lots of time to explore this summer, so many places on the list

[@freesk8]

Wow! :)

[@Santgooo]

Hahha, is awesome to see an speed skater doing that. Pd: Yoo, when are you going to upload another race breakdown???

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Which race do you wanna see? They're pretty time consuming to do, but now that I'm settled in Montreal I should have a bit of free time

[@kevinnorris1691]

When I read urban skate, I was expecting some footage with your evo skates! Looking forward to future videos with forward and backwards, stair rides!! 😜

[@kevinnorris1691]

Great video though! Nice tour of Montreal!

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

@@kevinnorris1691 that's coming one of these days

[@mike4617]

bet 6:39 had some nice words

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Luckily I don't parle the francais

[@specialk22tt]

Who makes your skates? Glad to see you back again.

[@vision3106]

Hi Joey, I'm a huge fan of yours! Could you consider organizing a small meetup in Montreal? If that's not possible, I hope to run into you on the streets someday.

[@kartik6764]

We want more such 15 minutes city Exploration.... Guess what you can literally change city from that skates within 15 minutes.....XD Google Maps fastest way is via scotty..... Le Joey hold my inlines...XD Awsm bro nice Hope that it will not give pain to ur hand ....XD

[@briantilley248]

What city is this?

[@RV-jq5pb]

I wish we had traffic synced lights in van

[@Artainis1432]

Get a helmet mirror, it's pretty useful! EVT's is good.

[@Vildeken]

Feedback on the camera ... 0 notion of downhill, except the weird leg movements. Awesome video. Would have never considered montreal for a urban skate

[@To1ne]

Was this mostly downhill?

[@user96384]

WHEELS ARE WINGS

[@Taziod]

how fast are you going?

[@MezBlade]

Based on his other videos, probably 30-55kph (20-34mph)
