Hell yeah! But why bring shoes? Shoes make you shorter not taller.

[@HanneDesmet-j9d]

I wanna see 700 more, time trial to the airport

[@richskater]

Its hard to urban skate and not feel like an a**hole. I don't try to annoy their dogs, I don't try to jump scare them, and I give people plenty of space but some still dive out of the way.

[@larryjonn9451]

Super smooth roads! Cant even imagine skating without pads at 30+ kmh! Fair play

[@Zyrus.W-zen_YT]

Please let's make this a brand new series of your channel, I will watch all of them! Thanks 😄

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

That is the plan

[@user-vh6nz1oo1p]

Joey, thank you very much for your work! It looked impressive and dangerous. You must be careful. Good health.

[@skater_rishit2102]

❤❤❤

[@LiamHighducheck]

I am subbing explicitly to see more time trials

[@Clythez]

I wound up here in a round about manner over a couple of weeks, going from inline tutorials, to thestutteringskater and now here - This was a really satisfying video man, and comparing directly to Ari i personally appreciate the BPM/Distance/Speed monitor in the top left, and the mini map in the top right, makes me feel even more engrossed in the video. Hope you do more of these, and if/when you do, that you can find some open flat piece of great asphalt where you can show off a bit more of how "relaxed" you are while going super fast

Hey Joey 💫🏆 I am Yash from India and I am your fan since childhood, I still remember your World Record 14 years ago and I used to Show your video to all my friends and used to explain your double push techniques ❤️ I habe been grown up by watching you as my mentor and Ideal ❤️. I was a National Level Medalist in India, but after my high school in 2016 I had to quit the game due to some family problems and today again God showed me your video and I got Goosebumps again and emotional at the same time 🥹 Thankyou for uploading videos at that time ehen no one else did that and when people didn't even knew youtube in India.. May god bless you always and I pray to god that once in my life I meet you. Also if you read this comment please guide me and give advice that can i get back in the form which i was in 2010 to 2014 ? My age is 27, will i be able to perform at that level again ? Thank-you ❤

[@fda8394]

Just try It, you will find skating is something you do not forget. Come on!

[@Marmocet]

I envy and aspire to your skating form. Make lots more videos.

[@marimoedmond]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DjFranz876]

perfect vlogging combo. OP3 [takkinh head shots] n the X4 [third person]. I use the Meta Ray Bans too for POV

[@hazelnoisette4539]

I absolutely hate that hill. 5 years of biking up it regularly and it still kills me every time

[@atosvr2]

as a skater, very nice....as an advance scout, not so much 😄

[@samlira9639]

I will always bet on Joey!

[@Pratalax]

HAH the punchline xDD good luck next time :P Have definitely done more or less the same thing before, so i can relate!

[@hydraman007]

Dare you to try that challenge again 6 months from now.

[@ris2ani]

yesss! been loving the content edit: its true: you can't buy more urban time trial victories 💫

[@nickyoung798]

12:40 what's this technique here? Saw it a few times during the video, for slowing down without wearing on the wheels too bad?

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Yea, mostly. Race wheels don't slide so well either

[@cedricmondet2567]

This technique is putting the rear gear to slow down.

[@chantalcote4460]

You should have taken : Rachel to Viau and then down to Notre-Dame and straight to downtown. All on bike path.

[@michaelbarton6610]

I thought I might see you at the "Marathon du Canada" last Saturday in Mtl. It was very wet !

[@nosefrenar]

Probably too late for that x4, but for future cams you should get lens protectors - they don't affect the video, and they can save your camera. Without them, my x3's lens would've been destroyed a dozen times by now.

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Ya I'm an idiot for not using mine

[@traianbaicu4328]

Where was the traffic?

[@sjintjeskate2602]

its so frustrating not being able to read maps, im always ending up all over the place, and having to check so often. i think i average about 12 kmh.

[@HouSlalom]

Could you skate IN the mall? Now that’s the question 🤙

[@shneor.e]

So based for displaying KM instead of freedom units

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Haha I'll probably figure a way to display both at some point

[@fabricio.gennaro]

Google Maps voice guidance next time 🤣🤣

[@joeypropane]

Loved the video. BTW Eaton is pronounced "eat un" not "eat on" :)

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

My French is absolutely embarrassing

[@VarunSharma-km3wv]

Do urban time trials on national holidays count?

[@TheDrunkenDudes]

how you find so many downhills

[@tredz4867]

I really need to try speed skate it looks fun and fast, i think its what you have if im correct 😁

[@divac5410]

Based on my brief try, it's a pain to stay stable at the ankles without support.

[@tredz4867]

@@divac5410 yea the boots look very small idk if im gonna like that, i have urban skate so the support is very good its very different

[@divac5410]

@@tredz4867 It requires several weeks of break-in and muscle strengthening in the ankles. And a good choice of boots.

[@ading199214]

When pro skates on streets

[@jokcho5]

would you say that mastering stepping plow as a stopping technique is enough for urban skating?

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

As a guy who is awful at the discipline of urban skating I can't really weigh in, I'd consider this more urban speed skating maybe? I imagine the more tools you can have in your toolbox for stopping the safer you'll be for actual urban skating though

[@jokcho5]

@@JoeyMantiaOfficial thank you for the reply! Thats a fair answer. I am just amazed how effective it looks and is gentle on the wheels :)

[@jakeh7876]

Omg this was on Canada day so it was all closed lol. Too funny.

[@jepsar]

Complaining about bad roads and still doing +30k/h 😂Respect!
