Joey Mantia Inline Skating Double Push Compilation 55kph / 34mph Liberty Park Salt Lake City Utah

Come take a few laps with me around Liberty Park as I follow @thorupviktor on the bike with my GoPro clamped onto his seat post. Top speed on his computer was about 34.1 mph with the ol' hands on the back. The surface is a a smooth cement so it's a little slick and plenty of seasonal debris on the path, but it's still one of my favorite places to skate in the city.

I got back into blading after my serious heart surgery in 2011. I had learned to skate (on figure skates) as a kid and then, much later, rented inline skates in the ‘90s “rollerblade” boom. Oh, there was the roller disco era of the 1970’s, but I’ll skip that. Anyway, I am completely self taught, which is a VERY slow way to learn, but since I started getting faster and stronger and developed a semblance of a real skating stroke I am now totally hooked and will probably seek out an instructor along the lines of Skatefresh Asha. I live in So Cal and I’m not rich, but willing to work hard. BTW, I am 64 years old and pretty easily outdistance almost everybody else on skates. Not many of us left here! But thank you for the inspiration and tutelage: I need all the help I can get.

Keep rolling and stay healthy. That is my goal to be as fit and passionate as you are in your sixties.

Thank you sir for sharing your story. I applaud you for your courage, we need more 64 year olds like you. I wish you 64 more years of skating my friend. You sir are the inspiration, have a blessed day.

[@sivamaars]

Crazy fast! Your double push is fascinating to watch. This video will keep me busy for a while. :-)

[@PaolaBarrientos]

I've been binge watching your videos before actually skating. I use to skate for fun when I was little I'm trying to get back to it. It looks like so much fun 🤗🤗🤗

[@lometatron357]

Same!😁

[@AConnorDN38416]

I was waffling on whether or not to go skating again this morning but you look like you're having so much fun in this video that it makes me want to go skate again

[@coryellis1877]

Just getting started, my top speed now is around 30kph, but I’m going to start implementing the constant compression & core activation tips from your other double push video! Thanks for the inspiration and advice!

Ok, I saw 34 and said noo way. Today was my fifth day of skating on my first ever 125mm skates (haven't been skating for more than 7 years on any skates). And then I realized that my today's speed was 28 KM/H, while this is in MP/H. Lol.

[@mephistopheles5327]

[@elisebrouw774]

Hi Joey nice video! I fitness skate now for a very long time. And I want to buy speedskates. I'm wondering how do you brake with that high speed without losing the control and without falling? Thanks for your answer!

[@laertesl4324]

Awesome! for how long can you keep that speed?

[@user-pt4zh4gy7k]

Super patinador gran aprendizaje

[@deatheth5039]

I will need to look up what doube push is 😂. Nobody has helped me improve my skating as much as you, but I am still a beginner

[@elofkjellson3906]

Is this 4x110 setup faster than a 3x125 setup, or no? I can imagine that having the 4 wheels gives you better power-to-ground transfer, but the 125mm wheels would likely roll faster overall? Just curious about that haha.

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

125 is faster, but i prefer skating on 110 because its a better experience and more comfortable in my opinion

[@monicahoggan]

Hi, I know this is an old video but I have a question. I've ice skated and played hockey my entire life. Just entering the wonderful world of inline speed skating. After you push out to stride, when you bring you foot back in, are you landing on your "outside edge" and as you push your foot out it is essentially pushing from outside edge to inside edge? Or do you want wheels straight up and down when your foot lands? Does this make sense?

[@asa-advancedskatingacademy3452]

Great .

[@jonatasgomes8177]

[@jvicmedia8094]

[@iStackSlow]

34 is usually my max speed on hills. Wow

[@jesseeek4418]

How do you brake at such a speed or do you always anticipate what is going to come or what may happen? Did you ever happen to fall at such a speed? Maybe because of some rocks on the road or cracks? Looks dangerous with so many people around. Epic though.

[@wheelsonfire1982]

A combination of flat / near flat area plus low skating position makes wind brake very effective, in short he stands up

[@jacquesurban7267]

Hi, that's seems fantastic, how long this path?

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

It's about a mile

[@specialk22tt]

Do you ever worry about hitting a rock or branch at that speed? If you come across one, what do you do?

[@10mayy]

They have eyes so they see them from a distance ,that is why those goggles are for ,they make it easier to spot stones ,pebbles or branches and then the according slow their speed or just go beside them...

[@freshasadaisy4782]

Seen from the front, the right knee disappears behind the left leg, but the right knee never gets that far. Seen from the side, the left knee does not go as far back as the left and therefore cannot get behind the left leg. Do you work on that or is it ok as it is?

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

10 years off makes you a tad rusty

[@freshasadaisy4782]

Understandable. I do not criticize, just an observation.

[@JoeyMantiaOfficial]

Openly welcomed, that's how we learn

[@fernandocortes973]

@@JoeyMantiaOfficial I was looking at that as well. Actually I was looking at when you cross the centerline with your legs it’s almost like you use the inside leg to help you push out to the farther side and vice a versa almost like how pendulum swings to create more momentum and this is great. Are used to rollerblade a lot back in high school just started getting back into fitness cycling I’m glad I found your channel on blading. And I used to rollerblade a lot to build up my legs for wrestling and soccer season. Great channel keep up the excellent work

You do so little work Joey while going fast. My speed tops out at 22 mph. I feel like I can compress more but my legs can't keep up with the pace. It's all technique and balance isn't it? Any groups in Los Angeles you know about? Shout out to Northridge Skateland which closed its doors after 60 years this week.

[@iluvbiggirlz420]

Im a 50 yr old vet who learned to rollerblade off of YT, to deal wirh my P.T.S.D and anxiety issues,and I have the hardest time trying to keep my speed with both arms behind my back. I've only been blading for 3yrs but won my first half-marathon with the ugliest style ever in my first 9 months. My skills are way better, I average 10 to 12 mph, I reached 15 mph once or twice on a straight away but can't maintain it, unless Im going 30mph down hills, lol. I know I'm doing something wrong though. Whether I'm using two arms or one arm behind my back, or switching skates, from 84mm 4x4 to 90mm 4x4 or to my 100mm 3w, I can't consistently reach or maintain 15mph, I'm averaging 6 miles at 3o min ever day, I'm trying to get 6 miles under 25 min, so What's the secret to skate with both arms behind my back?

So how do you find those Bont BNT’s?....I can’t find any reviews on them (that aren’t from Bont themselves). I’m thinking about them as they have the tighter heel. I “was” thinking about some Simmons as I’ve seen they have a tight heel also, but since I live in Australia, I can only get my hands on Bonts without having to worry about international postage.
