Mushroom Blading Commentary - The Hardest Skating Slams of All Time

[@ThisWeekinBlade]

Something that's super interesting about this entire video is you both were a huge part of the tide turning on stunt skating. Not that it's a bad thing, but your videos were some of the first to go mainstream that truly showed that you can have fun skating and not die, and people believed it. - Travis | Blader Union

Brandon Negrete deserves a lot of credit for pushing it in a different direction too.

[@ThisWeekinBlade]

@@MushroomBlading sure. But between Circ Duh Sol Eh and Better Than Baseball, and finally MB1, your crew was one of the first big things that broke free of the hammer era to make it big. Brandon's videos still had that level of stunt in there with sections on Bcam, Farm, etc. Yeah, there were little blurbs with some dudes not doing death stunts, but your group was literally the first "Joe Schmoe's" who made it mainstream and people paid attention. No one was filming with Negrete unless you were someone. You were no ones having way more fun. Better than Baseball was one of the most influential skate videos of all time. Skating today would be very different without it. Those words had a lot more weight 4 years ago before the huge resurgence, but now everyone skating again is seeing the normalization you created with that video that didn't exist before then. If they know it or not, modern skating was heavily shaped by your video releases in the mid to late 2000's. - Travis | Blader Union

@@ThisWeekinBlade Wow thank you for that. As an adult grom from Canada that made my day. We will never stop never stopping.

Mushroom blading saved our knees

i am 17 and i live in nyc, I've been skating for 6 years now and i am so happy skating isn't like this anymore, people like Danny beer make me happy when I skate. I want to have fun and hopefully other people will enjoy watching my skating. i want to skate until and 90 and above or forever!

[@deanmsc2002]

I wish I had this attitude at 17!

[@diridavy6385]

I started last year at 34. And I'm so grateful for starting so late😅

[@liambrown8074]

Yeah, the way a lot of people skate now, you can actually grow old doing it. It's fun, it looks cool, it's challenging, but the injury risk is way lower. The stuff you're watching in this video is how a kid ages thirty to sixty years in a millisecond.

[@wiemwszystko1]

@@liambrown8074 It's fun, but doesn't look cool or pro at least.

[@pg9193]

as a former NYer and a former 17 year old and current skater, I must say you have a fun life ahead you

[@HeadNtheClouds]

It’s a rollerblading death cult ☠️

[@J3f3R20n]

"Whatever happened to blading nowadays? It's all about toe heels and toe taps... where's the hammers? "

[@JustBowman]

Destroyed my knee 19 years ago... Picked up the skates again a couple years back. Much more reserved now but still having a blast!

[@randmcnally.]

I made it 2 minutes. then I fear clicked through the video. then just went to the end to see how you guys were doing. WHY!?!?! about 22 years ago I had a friend who was mad at me because during a night session he wanted to jump a 30 set gap and I was advising against it - he had never done more than 10 before this attempt. his mindset was: you should be pumping me up not warning me of the dangers. he did it, there were others who were like DO IT MAN, in his m12s, and collapsed in a pile on the floor. he was okay thankfully but could hardly walk, so not only did he slow down the session moving from spot to spot, he had to wear my shoes since he didn't bring his and he had some kind of foot stank that stayed with those shoes for the rest of the time I owned them. fast forward to last week: I watched Danny Beer's section last week, got stoked, went out for a solo session, missed a makio on ledge first trick (no stretch no warm up) and I am covered in scrapes right now, knee, hand, elbows. that friend probably hasn't put skates on in 20 years and I've spent the last 20 years falling on my ass and anyone of those falls I could have cracked my head open. lots of fun tho!

[@trenchcoatkendo]

Honestly thanks for the reaction vid, I went to the description and tried to watch it by itself. Too brutal and I needed some people to grimace with me

[@RobertGuerrero13]

Hearing you guys speak over the process that is watching these falls is the perfect Balance. Thank you for your service and Stoked I made it in the Vid and that I am alive to speak about it...

[@darren6762]

holy fuck! I'm never rollerblading again, well at least to tomorrow. looking at that are we sure there isn't about 50 deaths from rollerblading falls. Another great title for this edit could be, this is why we wear fucking helmets man ....

[@panzerkami2381]

Not all the crazy was back in the 90's or early naughties, I mean, Brian Shima jumping off a building isn't that long ago.

[@joelplotecher7051]

Best quote Todd " I'm glad rollerblading isn't like this anymore"👍👌 Agree fully!

[@samstreet4904]

Rad older lads love Experienced Rolling blading like actual dads everywhere Rolling Safe

[@MrRubinsh]

Holy shit. I had to watch Repentless by Slayer after watching this video just to calm down

[@sterlingpratt4901]

I agree with you, the worst bodily reaction I've ever had to watching a slam was that Gumby yellow rail to rail transfer to the fucking jaw.

[@adamkelly2399]

I guess I'm famous now...for falling Lol

[@Scizyr]

I used to do some fairly large gaps in the era where most of these falls took place. For me it wasn't really about proving anything but moreso that it was the one aspect of skating I excelled. At the time I wasn't very good at grinding and I had more fear of shinning myself on a 2 foot high handrail than taking a 12 foot drop. I think a lot of that had to do with me being somewhat of a daredevil with heights even before I started skating, coupled with the fact that my ST9's had such good shock absorption it made me feel like a superhero being able to land things easier and with less pain in the feet and legs than if I was in shoes. I think you guys are right about a lot of the pros in this era though, pushing things to this level because of that one joke we all know. This video was difficult to watch, brought back some phantom pains hahaha. Thanks. :D

[@plarks-guddaboyz]

That era of Hammertime, those dudes were crazy. You can see it in there face as they escape death only to die worse second try, its maddness. Billy O'Neil seems chill be he is from that mental era of maniacs.

[@d_a_hizzle1309]

Finally made it through this video with your help Wish I hadn't. 15 minutes later and there is still a knot in my stomach 🤢 Thank you so much for this installment 🖕

[@mog7814]

Did you see that fuckin' gap?! I am soooo not gay!!! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@sterlingpratt4901]

I couldn't watch this video alone, thank you guys for helping me get through this.

[@klisher]

Sven Boekhorst also cracks his head open in City Hopper

[@fufu1405]

I feel like Wizard skating is just an evolution from aggressive skating. Like, you get older, get a family and think to yourself ''Hmm... I really like to be creative on skates but am I really gonna keep jumping off half a damn building and grinding crazy shit?''.

[@mean-genes]

Jesus Fucking Christ, that was hard to watch, but I couldn't look away. I pretty much had the same reaction. Im tense and sweating now, thanks.

[@rollingchamp]

Sorry guys I can’t watch this at all.

[@higgy1726]

"He was never the same" 🤣

[@3rdeye15]

Yeahhhh I couldn't get passed the first two minutes lol.. Oh boy

[@lukasf5256]

Flatland for LIFE ;)

[@diridavy6385]

Making it through the video should give you MBcorepoints...

[@therealforestelf]

reasons why I embrace being an almost boomer and wearing a helmet at all times +1 because you never know when a car runs into you.

[@joesonx]

that was hard to watch. thanks for having the same reaction than me.

[@SillaKomisara]

dangerous

[@klisher]

Really not into this but Backtoblading podcast mentioned it. Still not sure I will watch this It’s like the guy who collects videos of people getting hurt on his phone and wants to show everyone.

[@switchrollinglife9980]

So nice watch this with your coments mush better !!!!👌👊🎬 People can learn somethink .Protect your self first !!! than you can have fun !!!! keep going skating !!!

[@diridavy6385]

Finally I made it to watch the whole thing. That's the most horrific piece of YTcontent ever. At least I wasn't by my own watching it. Thanks. Kinda🤣

[@keithchapman2040]

Well that's horrific 🤪 got about 5 mins in before when I watched this and about the same again this time.

[@tmttmf]

My parents stopped letting me skate because they couldn’t afford the medical bills anymore lol this vid is nightmare fuel why am I pumped to go send it rn🧐

[@lonerblader85]

not sure I can bring myself to watch this 🙈🙈🙈

[@_kt100_]

Hard to watch.. love that time of skating tho

[@ryan_darkmagic]

I can't watch. It reminds me of my own mortality.

[@ДмитриХрушчев]

shit man, couldn't make it past 4:21. More then enough for me.

[@photomorti]

Damnn that was a painfull video to watch

[@robdigital1383]

As an adult now some of these are so stupid 🙈 like what are some of these guys thinking with these falls and almost no one wearing a helmet 🙈🙈 just out of curiously I wonder what the death count is from accidents like these :s

[@alexrowley5014]

I tried but no, can't watch this at all.

[@KrillinoftheLandofM]

Nope
