Philly Free Skate 2019 - Roller Pack & The City

[@zacharykam5161]

Funny enough, that unconscious synchronization of strides that you were talking about is a real phenomenon. It's actually the reason that they had to shut down and redesign the Millennium Bridge in London. Basically, enough people were walking on it in synchrony and it caused the bridge to sway back and forth. But because of the swaying, it made people synch up more just to keep balance. There are some funny videos about it

[@CliffBerman]

It was great having you with us! Awesome video! It was nice meeting your wife, and I'm sorry I didn't get to meet Dexter - he does rock! Looking forward to skating with you again...!

[@sonicsportsla]

Topflight Philly adventure! Congrats on Blader Union sponsorship. Your videography & narration are truly one of a kind ☝️.

[@BillStoppard]

Huge thanks C!!!

[@sangria-margarita]

Yes! You’re back! I haven’t seen you in forever!

[@PlantbasedRunners]

Watching the dog fall asleep whilst under a blanket 🙂 .....

[@TheCloseout]

So glad you were able to make it to Philadelphia. Cliff gets a big shout out for that. I got to meet you and your wife on the Friday afternoon skate. Great skate other than the heat. Would love to skate Toronto!!!! I was the guy in the bright orange shirt.

[@ApexLaneProductions]

It was nice meeting you, Bill! I wish I could have stuck it out more. I was seeing warning signs of heat stroke, so I had to bail prematurely. I was able to get fresh for the Friday night skate though, and it was awesome! If you think Philly is beautiful by day, you should skate it by night next time. Wish you could have joined us!

[@BillStoppard]

Thanks! I totally get why you had to leave early. I had to miss the night skate for the exact same reason; overheated and too much water loss. Glad to hear you rebounded so well!!

[@myhobbiesandi1536]

I just like to hear his voice... There's just a special way you speak.. Pls keep posting.... Your videos help me a lot

[@johanncaron5108]

I missed you. Great video, enjoying discovering new places.

[@ctsxhp326]

It was really great to meet you and your wife Bill - had a wonderful time with you guys, great event but man that sun was a killer! Eventually I'll plan a trip to Canada and take you up on that beer and skate.

[@BillStoppard]

Awesome thanks for the comment...now I remember you user name!!!! Yeah that sun was harsh!!

[@ctsxhp326]

@@BillStoppard I was talking to a skater friend today actually and he hits me up and says I was on your instagram too, which I don't use. Took a look, that's awesome haha. I resonate with what you said in the video, I pretty much exclusively skate solo, but there's just something very powerful and exciting about skating in a pack like this. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Frumbler]

Wow. Incredible content. Even Dexter had a blast!

[@Bavmorda]

Every time you show those GTOs I lose track of everything else 😅😍 On another note, I just realized what I need to work on next: sprints! Since I'm quite comfortable with my drag stop and getting a decent powerstop too, I think it's time to get fast! 😃 Great video as always Bill 👌 (3:58 OMG that ball was dead before it knew it! 😂 Love watching the little guy. And 8:45 sooo adorable...😍)

[@DeezSkates]

Came for the skating. Stayed for the Dexter. Dexter's always leaning over like "bruh.. let's go this way!" lol. Seriously though, Philly looks fun! Love the quote at the end. LMAO Being from Texas it resonates like things I actually hear all the time.

[@fooglez]

I still have a bunch of stuff from Sonic from when I was a kid. Love their stuff, glad you're sponsored by them.

[@TiagoInlineSkater]

Greeeeat! Really want to skate with you one day! 😊✌🏼 no mater the place!

[@BillStoppard]

Yes T! I'm convinced that will happen!!

[@ctsxhp326]

It'd be great to meet you too man, try and coordinate something one of these days. I was lucky I'm near Philly and was able to come and see Bill. Looking to attend the Big Apple Roll next month as well.

[@NikZvi]

You should both come to Sait-Petersburg and skate here. That will be a great thing^)

[@ruinaldosiempre]

you both come to Spain , Benidorm is the city , cool area for skating , i'll guide you around ; )

[@078ballon]

Should you ever be in Europe ( the Netherlands specifically) between May and October feel free to join us at the Utrecht Skate Parade (every Friday from May till October, 20:00). 300+ skaters, a DJ on a car to lead you through the city and police and traffic controllers that block off the roads for free passage of the parade.

[@gabrielauld2896]

That was 10/10 dog footage, you're such a skilled skater as well, super fun to watch.

[@BoogieMan1599]

Amazing inspirational video. I dig the ambiance of this shoot especially the opening soundtrack. Let's make skating big again!

[@whittyskater]

Looked like a great trip. Nicely put together vid.

[@Andrewfulfulful]

This video makes me so happy to have picked up skating. I can’t wait to be a part of an event like this one day whenever that will be. Awesome video Bill!!

[@MrKrueger88]

Great work Bill ... And great to see you're still doin' it so much and so well !!! Cheers from aus again 👍👍👍👍👍

[@renduke7]

Hey Bill, loved the video. I love Sonic. I use the bearings, the tool and the turbo wash,Oh and also the pucks. Could you please make another vid with lead foot. They are so much fun to watch.

[@jamesbrooks5391]

Loved everything about this video!

[@vittoshiroimperiali3659]

This was great 👍 ...somehow I missed it ...glad I watch it Thanks 🙏

[@melgaudart]

how do you get those shots from Ernie point of view? Is it the GoPro dog harness or you’re holding the camera real close on his head?

[@Sirdarien]

Wow. This video is amazing, thank you for posting this :)

[@shckg]

Thank you for this video. Philly is a great place to skate!!

[@rollingdubaiguy6415]

Looked like a great trip. So, let me know when you want to talk about Dubai!

[@MrXmoda]

Should have stopped in Buffalo and said hey! thanks for the video

[@stevemcgowan3017]

this was reply to Jake another inline skater.Just to let you know.IM in awe at yours and other skills. I know you been skating long time.I tend to be impatient but cant be when learning new skill.😀

[@articcircleado]

I'm visiting PA this summer. (parents moved there) Where can I find a ride calendar or Facebook group?!

[@pronoia17]

articcircleado facebook.com/pg/LandSkaters/ The skates are 3 days a week, Sat 10 or 11 am, Sunday 10 am, and Tuesday 7 pm. The Sat and Tues are more advanced skates, so if you're not sure start with Sunday. We meet at the steps of the art museum. There's a landskater yahoo group where announcements are made. It's only cancelled if it rains or snows.

[@lisapet160]

@@pronoia17 Fantastic! Keep it rolling!

[@stevemcgowan3017]

HI Bill.your a legend.just wanted your advice please..Just seen your inline skater beginner video.Interesting what you were saying about being weak in ankles but I’m thinking my reason maybe I’ve been window cleaner 40 years.pounding the ladders and my right arm which I use most is not what it was.I just get fatigue building up so have to stop.arm just aches .Anyway I just got back into roller skating quads after 45year break.Did it my 1975 school disco.We got to our holiday destination Penzance Cornwall near lands end England.I start roller skating by sea and find a skating group SK8PZ and there is a silent disco on next day.They supply you with Bluetooth headphones.brilliant night made Lot new friends.so I was roller skating all week.But I felt my wheels were slipping someone said my wheels look worn like had bald spots maybe.So got different wheels off guy who sold me skates eBay.even tried new skates USA viper but preferred my old ones but wheels better but still feel. Maybe my old ankles hold me back a bit but I’m doing backwards crossovers now anti-clockwise like used to.It’s nice feeling to glide about better than running.wouldn’t run again .did marathons when young.never really like it.Me and my wife have push scooters too high quality ones made in Czech Republic.guy who’s friend makes them .Pavel he races them around Plymouth.great guy and the scooter is good you can glide around in between pushing like skates.Anyway after seeing lady teacher Asha and Bill Stoppard the legend on KZbin I’m thinking those inline blades 3 wheel ones look good.So I’m giving them a go.maybe my ankles not strong enough now if not can go back to my quads.first go inline was getting around then I tried a crossover.Not good idea as I pulled my ankle a bit so I’m resting now as have to work tomorrow.Glad found your videos.will get back to in-line soon give it a go but slowly this time.thanks.Steve in uk .

[@dukevanlien4985]

I miss RED July. Maybe next year. Roll on brother.

[@adamwharmby4864]

Would you recommend adapt vegan black skates or the GTO is it worth the extra money

[@flomagar8919]

Hello Bill acabo de ver este vídeo excelente tu patinaje es genial...y Dexter se nota que lo amas yo tengo a Ringo es un jack Russel también son super inteligentes... gracias 🇦🇷

[@dejv_hraje_deskovky]

Awesome video, awesome views, awesome skating. I am beginner and you are my big skating idol and it is my dream to make videos like you someday.

Love the banter (Fanboy from Israel) @6:02

[@jinx00723]

I'm a little disappointed I didn't make it 😢 I could definitely beat you up the stairs 😉 Bill

[@Martins-Shaves123]

Excellent video Bill, as always.... Why were so many people wearing crash hats and full padding, is it a club rule in there 🤔.

[@BillStoppard]

Yes M, they ask all skaters to wear helmets, though some don't. I thought I'd follow etiquette this first time around,.

[@EemreKrks]

Hey Bill, I am one of your Turkish viewers and try to learn inline skating. I love your work, just wanted you to know.

[@SingaporeSkaterSam]

Smooth filming, I sense some shiny new kit. This edit must have taken days, great job. You'll always have skaters to keep you company in Singapore - check out 2 latest vids of mine to get a feel! Edit to add: we also have our very own Rodin's The Thinker at our usual night skate starting point, ref. 9:55.

[@BillStoppard]

Thanks SS. Good eye, Got the The GoPro 7 last month; such a huge difference for stabilization. Only anothe YT'er would notice the potential length of the edit! Love your vids, checking them out next.

Hi, Bill. Are you natty? Thank you.

[@MrAttley]

Beautiful city, beautiful people. Would be great to make it international.

[@Souza1982]

You are liberal?

[@BillStoppard]

I believe in science, not destroying the earth, equal opportunity and compassion extending outside of one's own clan. To many this would make me a radical Liberal.

[@InlineSkaterDad-]

Way to inject politics into a skating video, Bill. You’re so tolerant and woke.

[@richardlucas8666]

So is this going to become a politics-on-skates channel now?
