Showing an Olympian around NYC | Urban Skating (Rollerblading)

‪@JoeyMantiaSkates‬ hit me up to tell me he was on his way to NYC and he wanted to do some skating.
I hit up Angelia who I haven't seen in a while who used to be a big Mantia fan (ask her if she's still a fan), we hung out and made our way over to BBQ that was hosted by our friend Dan (the fellow who introduced me to Wednesday Night Skate, but that's a story for another time). We start at my apartment on the Upper West Side and we end up in Williamsburg which is in Brooklyn.
Just 3 friends goofing off, skating through the city. This is what it's all about.
Joeys Skates: ‪@PowerslideInlineskates‬ Hardcore Evo Pro 110
Ari's Skates: ‪@PowerslideInlineskates‬ Hardcore Evo Pro with the ‪@endlessblading‬ 90 LR frame
Angelia's Skates: ‪@PowerslideInlineskates‬ 3X 195 Speed Skate Boot
Hope all y'all enjoy. Thank you for joining me Angelia and Joey, always a blast!
Ari

This guy made me buy roller blades.

[@farawaythrower]

Sweet! have you started skating? hows it been?

[@thestutteringskater]

I'll take credit here even if you are talking about Joey haha

[@Belhade]

This guy (Ari) made me upgrade my 'blades and travel to NYC to use them!

[@MC-dz8be]

Me too!!

[@Shimmy8]

Me too! It’s been over a year now for me and I’m a blast and in the best shape of my life.

[@jakeh7876]

"does everybody still say dead-ass?" "no" lmao

[@thestutteringskater]

Angelia makes everything a classic!

[@teshaunminor]

Always a good time when friends are roasting each other 😂😂

[@thestutteringskater]

I wouldn't have it any other way

[@Zyrus.W-zen_YT]

There's just something so good of an exercise rollerblading around a city.. 😌

YAY ANGELIA

[@thestutteringskater]

We all missed her!

[@sandragonzalez5646]

I rollerskate by boardwalk, Fort Lauderdale. We have a big community now 😊. You guys should join us one day ☺️

[@Clythez]

Words cannot describe how much i loved this video!! This was bloody amazing, absolutely love Joey, Angelia is the best, and Ari is who got me started trying my hands at my skates again. Having Joey crash on your couch must be cool though :b All the love to all three of you!

[@Kry-le3dq]

Love the way you cruise past all the traffic in the City - bet those drivers and passengers are so annoyed they are stuck in traffic

[@Gabriell.Barros]

It's so freaking cool to see joey doing a bunch of stuff that you wouldn't think a speed skater would know or do. I mean, such clean slides tho.

[@alexandrecarvalho7628]

I started rollerblading 2 months ago, you've been an inspiration to me... I try to do it everyday, or whenever I can, every day I see improvements but today I was distracted talking on the phone and trying to skate side ways and fell into a glass bottle on the floor (who the hell leaves glass bottles on bike roads?) but definitely going back tomorrow to be better than today!!!

[@odtube]

The hours I spent on skating with friends in cities are some of my favorite memories. Nice to relive that flow watching you guys ❤

[@thestutteringskater]

Hell yeah, it's certainly something special

[@Fouad_Sami]

Hi ari you inspired me to start roller balding and buy my own skates and congrats for your own skate

[@CritCommanda]

once you start roller balding, its a slow march backwards for your hairline

[@ris2ani]

Joey's chaos energy is real haha such a fun, entertaining vid, y'all bounce off each other so well

[@Shimmy8]

Amazing content as usual. I love that you and Joey are buddies.

[@derektylerrr]

Best recreation out there!

[@thestutteringskater]

That's for damn sure

[@MoyzonRecords]

I got Rollerblade RB Pro and next week I am flying to NEW YORK. Watching this video gives me so much inspiration!!!

[@AlexsaurusRex]

16:35 Lmao! Joey Mantia, the new Stuttering Skater 🤣

[@thestutteringskater]

Have I created a monster?

[@BeatEngine-qr7if]

I recently skated from the city to Brooklyn and I felt like this guy lol He makes it look so much easier of course! Great stuff

[@jaymcgavisk4929]

Awesome 😎 Looks super fun 😅🎉😅

[@Totsy30]

Skating NYC looks hella fun. I skate just over here in Pittsburgh and I'll definitely need to take my skates next time I ever get to NYC

[@smoovekidwill]

I knew I seen you ...I'm a manager at that New balance store on Columbus should def stop by my store one day

[@zhuliks]

Me and sis when the cool uncle comes to visit

[@sm00ns16]

As a quad skater that’s learning to street skate this makes me so tempted to try inline skates to compare the two !

[@Pratalax]

you're like a babysitter minding a hyperactive child xD that rapidfire counter rotation jump part especially! ps, jealous of angelia's shorts, i want somethin like that

[@TheShottyBoys]

Nice to see you having fun with your girlfriend again, it looked like a beautiful day! 😍😍

[@thestutteringskater]

Joey is not my girlfriend!

Amazing trifecta! great video as always Ari!

[@speed2sound]

This is amazing . Thanks for the content and hard work

[@Slackw4x]

Olypian Legs... more like Olypian Tree Trunks

[@PimGeerts]

Love to watch these cruises!

[@CritCommanda]

I agree with Joey about skating backwards, it serves no purpose outside of roller hockey and showing off. Skating backwards reminds me of Powdered Toast Man. Fingers crossed that PS sends you a Sam Crofts model to review.

[@Anthonybrother]

It's like riding a bike and wheelieing it around, just more entertaining

[@jondroog710]

Completely disagree. It’s easier than skating forwards. Leading with your lower center of gravity makes falling forward near impossible. If I weren’t for having to look over my shoulder to see where I’m going, I’d skate backwards all the time!

[@OmerOlcer-fk8or]

👍

[@ChelseaSierraK.]

😎😎😎

[@ann1e.mp3]

Love the video Ari! ❤️🔥

[@moronerick]

As a skater from the Philippines, I envy the nice roads. In our country we normally skates on bumpy roads full of uneven surfaces and small holes lol.

[@cepsvzla]

Great video!

[@bobbymoss6160]

Always enjoy your videos, this is so damn cool. Stay safe out there.

[@nicksouza1567]

Yall are really good at this makes me wanna go out there and try!

[@tigheklory]

This video was so awesome!

[@georgerezzor9556]

Serious question, do you guys every fall? I'm an aging skateboarder and this looks fun and potentially more gentle on the body.

[@waysonuzbgaming]

You inspire me to by roller blades. I enjoy watching your videos, I learning gradually skating as you) backward, sorry that our city is not like NYC (( i want to skatin in New Yourk❤

[@pachito794]

Lmao great ending

[@southpina]

Skating backwards looks a lot more fun

[@JamanWerSonst]

I want to come to NYC to rollerskate but even just a bunk bed is like 300 a night.

Urbans é muito gosto dessa modalidade do patins 😊

[@LordCainhurst]

I cant lie this makes me wanna buy some skates bro. I think I probably will since I've been wanting to get back into it after a long time away.

[@chad1526]

Ari is literally the reason i bought my skates

[@Beastys]

Joey’s an arrogant skater. Always has been. Take Bill Stoppard as a fine example, he’s twice as powerful, humble and smooks Joey on any given day. Ari’s humble too - one heck of a skater - respect.

[@geraldbalingasajr7651]

bro angelina looks from the philliphines/filipina blooded LOL

[@filipivan5125]

Ive been city skating for 3+ years now and I also do not do backwards 😅 I know it makes me less good at skating but it poses extremely high risk of falling as backwards is something my body is not used to from young age.

[@thestutteringskater]

Skating forwards is fun too! Everyone has their own approach and it's all beautiful

[@KennethKetchum]

I am 65 and didn't start urban skating until three years ago and it took me 4 months to learn how to skate backwards....... and four months to roller skate......... and now ice skate. see my videos on my channel. Now I have to practice harder to become this good........ on bike trails and basketball/tennis courts. YOU CAN DO it if I can do it..............on two knees that need replacement....... and spinal stenosis diagnosis. practice backwards skating on the basketball/tennis courts first. See my video of skating at the Ft. Lauderdale or Newburgh NY basketball courts. I am no wizard, but practice, practice, practice as I left kickboxing for the trifecta skating (roller/inline and ice skating). Be safe.

[@Beastys]

Doesn’t the Endless 90 frame limits your speed at some point ?

[@P714EVN]

Them blades with 5 wheels are NO GOOD 4 the street... I had Some BAUER XE3's back in the day lol ( like 20 years plus ago ! ) And they were class, T.S.S you remind me of how I used to blade 👍 On main roads through traffic and more. 1st thing I did was take them silly breaks off !! Ha ! Me and about 5 friends all had the same blades 🤣👍❤️

[@rico1142]

Such an awesome video, I don't even own a pair of skates. You folks made it look so entertaining/fun exploring this wonderful city. What kind of camera did you use? Great stabilization.

[@mocha2717]

Everyday is a leg day

[@Banano79]

Whenever Ari skates backwards I’m reminded of stupid sexy Flanders 🤔

[@remyhuston5246]

What skates are Ari and Joey using? What skates are good for beginners on busy, debri filled, city streets? Thanks y'all!

[@the.dirt.man.]

I’m a former world team member for USA roller sports. You think I could get away with doing this on quads?

[@fiknasir14]

I sometimes like to rent roller blades & ice skates. But most times, they end up hurting/crushing my feet. So is it better to buy a custom ones? Or do you have any tips to customize the generic ones?

[@mayasarmonia3257]

Do you specific rules of thumb to not get ran over?

[@rob.dark7]

Yo, DEADASS? 😂

I know Ari played ice hockey before inline skating, but I don’t remember for how long.

[@difflocktwo]

@@oywiththepoodlesalready Ok. I would expect decades.

[@alainremi267]

Great show! Congratulation... By the way, did you know that there are three types of rollerskaters: Those with properly fitted helmet, those without helmet & those with loosely fitted helmet. The first one likes their skull, although they might overestimate its value, the second type prefers their comfort vs their longevity, & the third type with loosely fitted helmet who don't give a sh... about their usefulness on earth & could be right about that. The third type puts up with all the discomfort of wearing a helmet & none of its advantage...Same for skateboarders: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOtl6x-ed2amNk 💀💀💀
