tthe mistake to not buy a skateboard

[@jda79]

I bought my daughter a skateboard does that count?

[@kfcandwaterm3lon]

fuck skateboarding

[@mehamillion6559]

😑

[@Martz604]

Disagree, but nice music gear! Got some classic Roland and Korg grooveboxes I see!

[@AdriaanStoopid]

@@Martz604 Do those come with bearings?

[@Briceo0o]

I love how you wrapped this up. I truly believe aggressive skating is uniquely technical and artistic. There’s a lot of athleticism and biomechanics going on but its somehow remained a free form mode of expression for so many people. Part of me feels like I’m biased but I really do believe aggressive skating holds a uniquely important place in sport and art. Thanks for making these great videos!

[@iRollerboot]

Beautiful way to describe it. Couldn’t agree more.

[@jda79]

You're definitely not wrong

[@abdallah2892]

Amém! 🇧🇷🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@dontlooklistenmodular4742]

Aggressive inline is more of an art form then a sport. Hard as hell to do. ( at least it is for me ) but it makes me happy doing it. Little by little. I am coming back after a 25 + year break and I do not even dare to do a frontside grind anymore, trying to build up the confidence to get them down again but my body is much bigger then when I last skated. But I will get there. Respect to you and your videos 📹

[@DeathRUM27]

Ben, you are probably The Best teacher. Your how to videos key of The channel.

[@iRollerboot]

💛💛 thank you!

[@thtphatcat]

Man, I think this will help me a lot! I'm just coming back after 24 years away and have been super gunshy on grinds, even soul grind. Thank you!!

[@rhythmdroid]

Same!! 25 years for me. Just started again this week. Scary to start grinding again at 42 😂

[@georgegoytizolo625]

Thank you bro, I'm picking up my blades again after 20 years 💪🙏

[@AstronautaTupi]

Bought one this month… 10 years without rollerblading. Let’s see how it rolls! Good luck 😃

[@JSteez5024]

I was practicing soul grinds this AM on a similar ledge and started realizing the same thing, point and look where I’m going and I was staying on longer.. same with my Royales. Thanks for tips even tho I’ve got experience, these tips are still intelligent and useful!

[@iRollerboot]

Appreciate the feedback Jon 🤝

[@Rollerbalder]

Yep, I think this is one of the reasons the soul grind is my safety grind and the grind I do best -- because I do turn my shoulders and look down the obstacle. I need to train myself to start taking this approach with all grinds. It's harder for me to turn my body when doing a royale, or unity or something like that.

[@arnarting]

I’m gonna get aggressive skates! Can’t wait to try them out and do this❤❤❤ type of!!!

[@0callmedrjones0]

I like the idea of thinking about pushing against that natural turn with the front foot. Great video for many levels.

[@verskil]

Just the advice that I needed, thanks

[@danielnewby2255]

I really need to get out to SA and check out this park some time.

[@Purpleshank]

Thanks, the mechanics of the soul grind have been boggling me lately as a beginner

[@Bo_Yeshua]

I don't usually comment. Having seen many vids bc I'm struggling w some of these tricks. You explained it well.

[@nicelydone81]

Good advice 👍🏻 Solid video

[@iRollerboot]

🤝appreciate it!

[@Hdtjdjbszh]

my royales were the same, coudln't do them until I started looking in the direction of travel.

[@flashgordonEZAF]

Thank you, I've been skating for years and this still helped me out. Especially practicing 180s away fron the ledge

[@iRollerboot]

Heck yeah!!

[@Inkachu]

I’m relearning to blade and starting with basics and I’m always doing that 180 because of your vids. You’re right they keep your body rotating towards the end of the ledge and plus it looks much cooler

[@carlosroubert8646]

Happens the same with the golf swing. Bending your knees allows you to rotate better.

[@iRollerboot]

[@inkorea1390]

Definitely still trying to get used to not looking at the ledge lol. Thanks!

Great explanation! Love your channel!

[@DPSFSU]

I wanted to say this before the video. Get low everyone! Sit on your boot if you can! Lower your center of gravity.

[@kultureridesupply-blades5287]

This was great. Even being somewhat a seasoned blader, I’m not sure I’ve put focus on this. Although I think I mostly do it instinctively at this point, I’m goin to put a greater emphasis on it to see how it works out. Makes a lot of sense. Good stuff. Boot on brotha!

[@iRollerboot]

I appreciate the feedback and thoughtful comment 👍 glad you enjoyed it!

[@MattCamara_]

Wow, what timing. I just did my first soul grind in 13 years earlier today. I’m curious if I made any of the mistakes in this video. Let’s find out! Edit: I didn’t! Great advice though! I had to figure out that stuff by trial and error back in the day.

[@iRollerboot]

Nice Matt! Keep killing it my friend 👍

[@MattCamara_]

@@iRollerboot Thanks Ben! I’ll be back to my old skill level soon I hope.

[@JSteez5024]

Will you do a tutorial or tips on Alley-oop Souls next!? I never learned them back in my hay day, but am ready to commit now!!

[@iRollerboot]

Ooo. Definitely will look into it.

I’m still afraid of the rail, that’s my biggest problem right now.

[@flyingonblades]

Every time you wear that shirt, it gives me H❄️PE!

[@stevenhubers8729]

How do you figure out where you need to keep your eyes at when grinding? Do you watch your feet the entire time? Do you wash your feet until you lock and then face down the way you’re going? It’s a little worrisome to trust my feet to lock in as I’m learning I feel if I don’t watch my feet, I’m gonna bust my ass more, any input is appreciated

[@larryjonn1973]

Sure youve figured it now but for anyone reading this, i found what works for me is to look where i want to lock and as i lock In look where I want to go i.e end of obstacle

[@odaszi]

thanks

[@GordonGreenCincinnati]

What’s your wheel/bearing setup? They sound RAPID

[@iRollerboot]

Stock aeon wheels with stock bearings. HOWEVER. I skated these in the rain…there’s a video a month ago or so lol

[@mikedivittorio3744]

What skates are you using here? Very sick

[@iRollerboot]

Razors cults with moonshine soul plates.
