Pushing the Pace | Speedskater and Street Skater mic’ed up in New York City (rollerblading)

In this video I link up with two of my favorites: @clope24 and Angelia. We start on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and first go uptown before heading east and taking Park Ave all the way down.
Thank you so much for your patience with this one guys, I fixed some of the issues that were addressed in the feedback ya'll gave. This should be a smoother experience for all involved.
Big ups to Christian for filming, and a big thank you to Angelia for being game to chase me around NYC for a few hours.
Check out Empire Speed on IG / empirespeednyc they put on great events in the New York area to help people enjoy and progress with speedskating. If you have any questions, shoot them a message on IG, and they'll make things happen.

[@360.Tapestry]

we love the strangely platonic but super flirtatious back and forth lol i feel like these friendships run deep as part of human history... or i'm just still quite high

[@FlightEagle]

Your camera person, Christian, is amazing. You all make great videos together.

[@CatzzSkatesFamily]

I was going to say. The camera man gotta be great skater to keep up with them.

[@alexeimorita]

Cameraman is faster than anyone I know

[@Felip3paixao]

is the camera also on skates?

[@clope24]

​@@alexeimoritathank you. Haha I wish but it means a lot coming from you.

[@clope24]

​@@Felip3paixaoyes the only way to keep up with these two talents navigating NYC's jungle

[@andrxmeda97]

Great chemistry between you two & props to christian, filming like this isnt easy, great shots!

[@anniefarrell9907]

Yo cameraman. Christian my dude. Great work. I sometimes forgot there was some one following them and was ALSO skating. So smooth. Awesome!

[@briggsy3155]

All three of you are amazing skaters. Nice video 👍

[@Juiceboxdan72]

I will never forget NYC at night. All the gross bits disappear, and yet everything is lit up. It's beautiful.

[@AgentChachi]

Her air quotes on “skate friends” was the cutest thing ever. 😊

[@marchanson711]

I am addicted to watching this channel now. The skating is superb!

[@gacellie]

14:15 "Our hands touched that was so magical" yall are so cute haha

[@ontoya1]

It's so trippy watching your videos when I live in Harlem and seeing someone else where I roll. I literally make 110th circle my playground when I blade

[@EliSimmons-ug9pg]

Definitely his best video, I want more like this one. Love your channel dude

[@EdgarCastilloJr]

very interesting to see how loose and side to side u are compared to her speedskater setup/style. awesome skating always fun shredding the NYC traffic !

[@markifi]

the banter is excellent in this

[@IsaacGallegos]

How are there so few comments?! This is a great video

[@CatzzSkatesFamily]

Love the NYC content. Eventually, I will skate on the streets too. For now, I’m keeping a low profile in the parks. Stuttering skater makes rollerblading so entertaining. He’s one of my influencers. Love Donut Plants in NYC. Music and scenes blends great together.❤

[@lali_ho_1363]

sameeee nye is the ultimate goal

[@Patrickdeh]

You guys just inspired me to go on blades again, in the age of 42 :D I was used to skate when I was younger, but after few tries it still works. You never get too old eh :)

[@ClarkDroneFilms]

What a cute couple of skater friends

[@CommissionerManu]

Omg, they were *skater friends*

[@JA-ut8fi]

Lol no offense but I can’t tell if he’s gay or a ladies man😂

[@seuny]

14:34 she is so accurate on the way he skates 😂😅 this was fun to watch definitely a roasting.

[@andhenevercameback7117]

halfway through the vid. I just had to stop it and give respect to who ever is operating the camera.

[@Legotruck82]

top tier banter. Angelia has a wicked sense of humour

[@abnerrodriguez7954]

You guys killed it !

[@justanothernoobe]

It's so cool seeing the difference in your skating styles. I prefer Ari's style - that hockey / wizard stuff is so playful. BUT ... there's no denying the efficiency of Angelia's stride! And so cool seeing the streets, traffic and architecture ...Awesome vid, guys :) And top marks to Christian - how he keeps up AND does all that camera wizardy is nuts!

[@mor9n243]

Rollerblading is SUCH a great workout too and FUN

[@nabbit]

Amazing camera work! Great video, great chemistry, great skating!

[@isaahliu]

joyful to watch. good job.

[@Rene_Dillon]

Cuffs vs Cuffless is wild, she uses a whole different range of muscles...congrats to the new couple ❤😂

[@MsAnimusSleeper]

This is such a rush to watch! Had to Sub! I miss skating so much! The video man Chris did an awesome job! Time to catch up on all of the past videos.

[@Metroknome]

Always a vibe with Ari

[@oscarflores7750]

I love commented videos like this

[@andreluizcarvalho4468]

Seus vídeos estão cada vez melhores. Rolê alucinante! Saudação do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@geomidia8998]

dois

[@petebarbarino2590]

I love watching how effortless they both skate, but him skating backwards is so sick and satisfying to watch... love these videos (as I lay in bed)

[@Noorullah-yn6dw]

My favorite skating ❤❤❤🎉

[@steveedwards4495]

Brilliant, inspiring. Not even put my new quads on yet lol, waiting for protect gear. You guys so lucky to be able to skate in the streets like this. In the UK, a bit harder.

[@ohkaygoplay]

I'm convinced that Ari came out of the womb with blades on. :D I'm demi-ace, so I absolutely love your friendship. :) Allos will call it flirting, and you're a couple, but all I see is a close platonic friendship where you two are comfortable around each other, have good chemistry and a mutual interest. :) You love the other, but you're not *in love* with them. I adore that. :) And you two make skating look like floating, and I'm jealous! My skating needs a lot of work - especially with transitions and backwards skating. I can jump, but going backwards at any kind of decent speed? Nope. What you two have is goals for me, honestly. Previous comment said they run deep as a part of human history, and they do. Those connections to others are incredibly important. And Christina keeping up with you guys? A King right there.

[@Icecube88]

almost 300k. subs. the most popular rollerblader on youtube.

[@MolrikE]

Superb!

[@Brisasfrias2]

very entertaining video very very entertaining!!

[@Thezuule1]

Couple of clip on flashing red lights might save your life someday. Be visible.

[@Salviblade]

Super dope 🔥

[@gaming-craig]

tripple thumb up for the camera man and his gear!

[@abs772]

I love the camera guy cheering "YEAH" for "I think you should try wizard skating"

[@greedytoski]

damn... i have to subscribe... i like this girl, yeaa... and how they both insanely skate too!

[@uctrader5943]

love it

[@strong153]

😂😂 damn I just clicked on my entire childhood in NY. I lived on 96 and West End. I skated all these streets as a kid. Dope. Snake hill in Central was also fun.

[@eonarose]

Props to the camera person keeping up with these two.

[@nousradineadamhassan168]

Much love from Africa

[@nousradineadamhassan168]

Please what is music in 4:43

[@dannycolley3180]

well as long as she keep appearing in your videos then you guys can be who ever you want ;)

[@serikimanchayev665]

Thanks, Christian "the cameraman" and all of you guys! 😍❤️

[@Carlbritt]

This was fun..

[@R.D.S.Productions]

Props to camera man!!

[@mra8692]

Man this makes me wanna go rolling so bad but it's been lashing it down in the UK for days😢

[@wwiiscientist6712]

As someone who has been ice skating for 20 years but hasn't really gotten into rollerblading, how do you stop quickly? or can you? With ice skates you just pin on the edge and can stop instantly and that's what gives me the confidence to do crazy stuff and go fast, i dont see a similar thing on rollerblades though and I think thats why I havent gotten into it even though it looks fun

[@rachelmclaughlin1491]

An emergency stop would be called a power stop, loads of tutorials on yt :)

[@pOOL_pANTS]

that rulez!

[@letitiaroark6878]

It’s called a double 3 turn (from ice skating basic skills course USFS (also ISU) 9:20 ish A three turn is on one foot, double 3 turn is a two foot turn. --> Because your ice blade would draw an image of two 3’s in the ice

[@xxxxxNeMxxxxx]

He's never stuttering when he's yelling at drivers :D

[@snaggs107]

Literally passed by my block 🤘

[@thenourway]

Can you make a video about how you check the intersections? especially when zipping through red lights cause I’d be super nervous about oncoming traffic and you just fly through…

[@HughMadBro]

😂 I speed skated, could've taken myself around the world but threw my life away instead. Got my life back 13 years ago 1-1-11. I'm in the skating rink every chance I get 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ but you're making me wanna take a trip to NYC OR PHILLY 💀🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@behnam3832]

Keep making videos together 🎉

[@skybeep9548]

I wonder what kind of bearings yall use 🧐

[@dingofaya8651]

How does he skate and focus on filming when y’all do tight spaces 😅

[@een_schildpad]

Stuttering skater was drawing hearts on the sidewalk while showing her the trick at 9:50 Cute couple confirmed 😜

[@BeHappy.22]

👍💛

[@GLavv-xx5ud]

Yall n da hoood via park ave 110th

[@sodi_iv5628]

5:49 Angelia, I heard that “Hoy nako!” 🇵🇭😂

[@fiev]

What does it mean?

[@sodi_iv5628]

@@fievIt's an explative that expresses annoyance or irritation. I guess in english it could translate to "Oh, my!" or "wtf" depending on the person.

[@fiev]

@@sodi_iv5628 thanks!

[@HELPMENOW150]

now I have to learn how to skate at the age of 70!

[@Gurung971]

Im so inspired with your skating i started skating at age 32😂 some clips i have on my channel with very little knowledge about it 😅hope i wont get injured🫣

[@Gurung971]

Love you ari❤

[@mason3226]

@thestutteringskater I just got some 84A wheels, would skating in the city be ok with them?

[@GoldSnake700]

Hello. What skate do you use ? Boots? Rail? Wheel? Tanks for your great vidéo!

[@GoldSnake700]

I juste watch your Last vidéo and OK you use next skate. Headless rail. What do you think off the next charcoal 90 model with the rocker rail ?

[@anochayudhthonglang5827]

What brand of skate are you using?

[@TriAngles3D]

Men wore pink in 1983 as well.

[@LawrenceBuccat]

Hay Naku!

[@portrait1001]

Please I'm really interested in knowing what top speed are you reaching, on the streets of NYC

[@beezusHrist]

I think Ari might be in love, too 😏

[@Skateterminal]

They are both taken haha

[@Felip3paixao]

How does he manage stability at high speeds using this "rockered" frame?

[@hasilein413]

8 to 11 miles? Wow well never the less yourl be cute together. Greetings from Sapin.

[@farawaythrower]

wow what a cute couple

[@_b_u_l_l_s_h_a_r_k_]

Whoa. This is like 8k 🎥

[@tonim7045]

what skates do you use?

[@strong153]

We used a whistle for the cars

[@ChrisSlaughter-pz6zr]

@The Stuttering Skater - Beyonce called....she said, "Put a ring on it" :-)

[@aydann3925]

Does anyone know what skates he is using

[@nabeelsherazi8860]

anyone know what his skate setup is here?

[@gvmartin8258]

3:02 - Bhahaha, "oh F you Ang....." Speed, power.. bye! My daughter does Speed Skating, off to World Skate Games later in year and like Ang, she also only knows one gear.. FAST.

[@KCAcronymEvade]

You to are the same difference Even in your rollerblading Agility vs Speed

[@snypestaylor381]

..THE SPEEDSTER IS MORE CONTROLLED

[@vons7597]

I want to skate on inlines on the road, but the reason I can't do this is that my city is very bad for bicycles, skateboards, and inline skating. ;D There are always traffic jams, narrow roads, and sidewalks that are too bad-you can easily fall down because of holes. And they are always 'fixing' roads XD. I wonder if they will ever finish fixing the roads someday XD. And also car owners are very bad, they're do not give a fuck if they will hit someone on the road :| (But I'll try someday inline skating. I really want to try. :d)

[@swimmyJones]

Is he saying “on your right” just in case they can hear him? Because I feel like it would be super unlikely that the people driving are able to hear him saying that right?

[@user-hm9tc5mm6s]

это где такие классные дороги? асфальт класс)

[@theonepercent8263]

anybody... make and model of his skates please

[@gaming-craig]

is this in Philadelphia?

[@rachelmclaughlin1491]

New york

[@SLEEPER.3]

I wish I lived in an area I could do this but I never get out with my blades on ehejdbdbjeje

[@ltemerpoc]

whats the songlist ?

[@divac5410]

Monarchism - Tagline (instrumental only)

[@tirqaroni1andonly]

I gotta crush on Angelia 🫣🌝

[@moronerick]

5:49: "uuwi na ako" --- is she a filipina?

[@ohaiitsurrn8922]

Christian rules. Angelia also rules. ...youre cool too, I guess.

[@Icecube88]

should have checked which one of you guys had the highest top speed and average speed

[@jakemaxwell3810]

Well, if they go the same distance in the same amount of time, they will have the same average speed so there's not much point checking that one.

[@indoorandoutdoorendurance3889]

I guess maybe I'm just learning how to use the settings, but sometimes I could see the chat, and other times I could not see it. I haven't been able to see it again in a while. I tried clicking around a lot, and I don't know if it disappeared, or what I'm not doing this time....

[@wigglypaw]

ok, where’s the camera?

[@leslie7922]

cars beep at you cause they're mad they're stuck in traffic not moving

[@meredith669]

Guys you need to wear something to make you more visible especially at evening ! Please make safety a priority as your video are watched by kids and they later follow/copy what they see (now they see a guy who doesn't take safety on roads much seriously).
