Somehow, this feels like an _old skool,_ pre-covid BSS video. 🙂 And I love it! Kerbs are great, city skating would be way less fun without them. 🤘

I bought new skates a few days ago after like 15 years off them. My goal is to be able to master the city of Stockholm (which fortunately has endless well-groomed bike lanes). I've binge watched your videos and have applied a few of your tips already, and it's coming back to me very quickly! Thanks for all your great content, dry humor and enthusiasm! I hope to be able to skate like you one day :D

Started city skating about a year ago and it was always so fun to take on the different obstacles. If you can find a sidewalk or trail where roots have pushed up the pavement a bit, you can get some sweet little jumps and bumps. We also have a big hill that goes onto a bridge which is all shut down, so we can bomb it down the hill and coast across the bridge. Tis a blast

Very smooth. Just getting back into rollerblading and this is going to be a channel I come back to

Smooth, yet sharp as ever. Man, those curb-drop powerstops look incredible. ...Power-Drop? Yeah, I'm calling them power-drops now on.

Im glad im not the only one who thinks of some rollerblade moves as fire a gun. I think of the Powerstop as a gunfire and a Powerslide as a Martial Arts move. I even move my hands in auch fashion when i slide and my body reponds accordingly 😁

Is this possible to go down like that with a heel brake?

@HeadNtheClouds 2 ай бұрын

So, your right foot would be raised up just a little, like you are about to step off the curb, but the left foot is the one actually rolling the curb. So it’s like a 1 footed roll off with the right foot simultaneously stepping. Then you just roll off it & land on both feet together. It’s a very subtle step with the right foot, the left foot stays with the right foot & lands in the street. I did it when an angry dog came at me. & said, “holy hell, I can roll a curb with a brake” it just kind of came natural. Wear padding as you navigate this! Don’t listen to anyone that tries to convince you to take off your brake if your comfortable with it. I’ve been skating for 40 years & the brake has saved my wheels from wearing down too much & it stops me quickly when something unexpected happens & hills!

@billstoppard whats better for city skating? crossfire + endless vs twister + endless?

@Ironblank1 3 ай бұрын

How do you deal with cracks, pebbles? I’ve learned to stay balance and on the first days my skates got caught a few times. I didn’t fall but I felt I was going to. I’m skating inline 4 but I’m planning to get the powerslide evo pro 3 wheels, I’m I making a mistake?

@gerdaeha4266 3 ай бұрын

Super helpful! Any advice on how to handle curbs straight on when it's not possible to move in from the side? Like a crosswalk for instance. Our city has lots of little "islands" in the middle of crosswalks and they're all sized different. I've jumped some and stepped over others but nothing really feels comfortable enough. Maybe I just lack the confidence :D

I'm not sure if you're 3 leagues above me or in a league of your own! 😃🤭 Do you have some tips for beginner or intermediate skater how to master the ceramic tiles near passenger crossings for people with impaired vision? There are these "Lego"-bricks and the bars. Most horrifying for me are the bars when they are transversal. 😵‍💫🤦‍♂️

@NikZvi 3 ай бұрын

well bent knees and scissor position. that's all that you have to do and can do with them. or simply jump away🙂

@Belhade 3 ай бұрын

Turn your skates as you hit them to try and get the wheel in between the nubs. There's usually a diagonal you can go through.

@huzizach 3 ай бұрын

I'd pay good money to see how dangerous this could go wrong if you one miscalculates the heigh of the lead foot or if the trailing foot clips the curb with too much power

Sorry dude, you’ll be waiting a very long time. It’s the safest mount there is.
