Wow what a great technician Bart is, how filigrane and precise his strides look, as if it is so easy. Absolutely blown away. A real master of his sport!

@Arno Poitt Yes, get honked at all the time when you skate even in the bike lane and have beer cans thrown as well as guns pointed at you.

[@DIVA-MC-7]

actually everyones uses metrics, except for uk and some countries ^^" get on board

[@FcFabien]

74.4 km/h? Lie!! 😂🤣😂 Mdr... have can really make believe any 😩

[@juschu85]

74,4km/h max speed 😳 Imagine you're a police officer, you're checking the photos of a speed camera, and you find a picture with just an inline skater on it 😄

[@joshcarter-com]

Monster lap there and perfect form throughout! Nice work with the videography and motorcycling through that crowd.

[@andreicd]

I can't wait for spring , I wish more people in my town got into speed skating , lots of people with bikes , no speed skaters.

@@PowerslideInlineskates you have amazing team! Bart and the editor are great examples :)

[@prematuredgravy8033]

Those 125s are massive. Damn

[@neildmoss]

Up front - I know zero about skating. So - is this a full-on one-lap all-out sprint for a record, or does he just keep rolling on at this pace all day? I did the 24 Hours Velo as a solo and didn't break 8 minutes!! The velo lap record is only 18 seconds faster!

[@miroslavmikuljanac2581]

No, he was with Powerblade team (6 members) and they are in relay race, you can see baton in his hand. They can change many times as they want (my team did it after each lap), but profesionals change shift after at least 3-4 laps during the day, and 5-6 during the night.

[@Sarlock32]

This was probably for the record, since they have to skate for a 24hrs relay they need to save energy for the whole race. So I’d say they’re usually between 6min & 7min.

[@axx43xxx]

4:14 watch at half-speed. Weaving through a tight space!

[@duc696monster6]

Anybody any idea where i can get suit of the belgian team? Am starting to long distance inline skate, am belgian but living in norway and want to show off that i am from Belgium/ show suppert for the belgian team here... Tried to look online, but didnt find any web sites..

Absolutely Amazing..Thank you for this video upload.

Now this is insane

[@arturgoncarenko412]

omg inkredible speed

[@LDantinhas]

If you want to compare amateur skaters to a real super pro skater, this is the right video. Holly s@&$ !

[@andreicd]

What are the best possible bearings you can get , proven and tested for speed and reduced rolling resitance ?

[@parlomo]

+andreicd SKF

[@tstrrtstrr745]

German made SKF industrial ball bearings.

[@LDantinhas]

Ir you put the money on the table, you can get full black ceramic Si3n4 bearings for under 200$ (180€). That’s the top. You clean them with water and air pressure. They’ll last forever. The only thing to care is the removal technique from the wheel is more delicate than steel bearings, the ceramic rings can break.

[@Catend]

Why does he only seem to stride with his right arm and not with with left at all?

[@Catend]

To answer my own question, I think it might have something to do with his training for speed skating on ice, where you only turn to the left. Possibly another artifact of his ice speed skating training, I noticed that he tends to do crossovers on left turns but instead does little shuffles on right turns.

[@yongarygonanra2993]

the right leg land more strongly on the ground on each stride compared to the left. I think he is right handed....i just came back from 4hours night skating.

[@skurczybyk12]

Night skating is cool.

[@mirage2nr771]

I'd say both ice skating left turns, and the fact that most of this track's right turns (like the first downhill one and the next double right), are super fast and tight :) But yeah probably left-turn-oriented practice and work outs

[@Michelmulkens]

Phenomenal - proud to be belgian

[@pantx0]

Powerslide, can you tell me if Bart was using the 13.0 frames that you all were experimenting with for this super fast lap?

[@Mezase]

Yes

[@spcbsj]

wait did he really skate 2,600 miles???

[@xgelmirx]

This is the Bugatti circuit, not the 24h circuit.

[@skurczybyk12]

Yeah, the 24 one is over 20 kilometers long.

[@xgelmirx]

I know, that's why I was so surprised to see the title and so dissapointed to see it was the other layout.

[@K2Rclan2]

i know... It's not the 24 circuit, but it is a 24 race. Therefore the title is 24h Le Mans. The event is called 24 hours of le mans roller.

[@vibecheck663]

No ,the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit is 13.65 km long. The Nurburgring is more than 20 km long

[@mirage2nr771]

It is the Bugatti Track, the one that is used the rest of the year (the car 24H only takes the straight line and the dunlop climb from this track), other 24H races occur on this small one ;) Inline skating, cycling, motorcycling And this happened during a 24H race ;P

[@wizardcam]

His average is about my max speed. Sigh.

wtf this guy is way faster than i am on my roadbike. 45 kmh thats insane.

[@LDantinhas]

Rampampulin well that’s not insane, he’s Bart Swings, he is considered the fastest speed skater in the world, he has several world records and have broken his Berlin marathon record several times year after year after year (he runs 42km under 57 minutes! THAT is insane!). His nickname is “The Machine”, I think it says it all 😂

[@peterghimme9661]

[@Reginvalt]

Awesome. I watch it again and again. I think two things: one that Bart is awesome and music is a perfect match, second that it must take tons of work and infinite patience to learn to skate like that. Respect. Whenever I watch speed skating videos with best of the best guys, Bart technic seems to be superior and best looking.

I don't even understand how it's possible... Super cool to watch! 'mazing

[@yongarygonanra2993]

they are all participants

[@tinyteddie631]

I like how they try to advertise the skate as if that's what's making him fast. Sure, having the right skate definitely takes off a couple seconds for your time, but the difference a skate makes is nothing compared to the practice he's put into his skating technique and his strength.

[@mirage2nr771]

It makes a small difference indeed, but the fact that the best skater in the world keeps the same brand for so many years still shows that they are great ;)

[@shredfreak83]

@@mirage2nr771 it's not like there's a massive choice out there as compared to bikes. I find it strange how Belgium can produce such a monster athlete while the country literally fucks the sport over. I went back to cycling due to lack of any tracks & clubs.

great inspiration

[@firmbodyval4536]

Lit.

[@curiexr8292]

Why not just 2 wheels? The middle wheels seems unnecessary.

[@mirage2nr771]

It gives stability, a rotating point, more surface on the ground (so better push), and without any middle support, with such a long frame, the skate would just bend in the middle at every stride, losing power again, and eventually breaking it probably

[@charleyweinhardt]

Can you watch this 'without' moving your head to the beat?

Astonishing! They're actually using the recovering bent knee to execute a secondary push before the feet of the said knee contacts the ground for a primary push. And the cycle repeats itself.
