Speed-skater and Street Skater roast each other | NYC Sightseeing on Rollerblades (mic'd up)

Angelia is one of my first friends who I made when I started rollerblading and is a big reason why the skate community in NY is in the healthy state that it is. She's also like my annoying little sister who gives me a hard time about everything.
In this video, we start on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and skate while roasting each other until we get to the financial district downtown. This was Angelias first time wearing new skates, which is always a painful process, but with speedskates, it's 10X worse.
Thank you to @PowerslideInlineskates for hooking Angelia up with a nice discount on a brand-new pair of their speedskates. Here is a link to the skates if you are intrigued about speedskates: powerslide.com/products/3x4-1...
I appreciate your time and patience with this edit, there may be some echoing due to the mics, but I'm just learning how to edit longer videos, so it's part of the learning curve. If you have any feedback, please put it in the comments. We are on this journey together.
Huge thanks to @clope24 for filming and doing the base color grade! Check out his YT channel!

Cameraman is so good! Amazing work!

Thank you for the compliment

Yeah, kudos for keeping up whilst framing a steady cam!

​@@t0tchiwaveswe used a Canon R6 with a Sigma 20mm on a DJI gimbal for this.

i legit forgot that there's a cameraman who is so skilled

Respect for the cameraman worrying about pointing the camera in the right direction all the time and phisically transporting it through the crazy streets of NY!! // while trying to have fun and not get killed LOL

[@JohnTyree]

360 camera i assume?

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

This was so much fun to watch! I can't even imagine how much fun this ride was! Kudos for the almost anonymous camera man who had to keep up with these two! I'm always baffled by his fast fakie riding in the most complex situations!

[@Fizzyvibez]

Agreed!

[@kiethpederson7558]

Right New York has a vibe to it then you ad a cutie and fun activities

I thought the camera man was going to eat it at one point but he did fantastic. Great job by everyone.

[@weissefabrik]

its so amazing to see how she trusts him and even when he says "i thought im gonna die" ... he still had her in mind ....

[@springroll58]

the government doesn't want you to know that rollerblading is the best way to get around the city.

[@freyja4954]

Pretty much anything but a car.

[@ebentually]

how does rollerblading compare with skating or scootering or biking does anyone know how they all fare against each other?

[@HotFiya05]

I would say biking is, with blading a close second.

[@springroll58]

@@HotFiya05 there are certain holes of traffic that are harder with a bike tho, it's just too long

[@meself349]

What "government" are you talking about? It's New York City. Controlled anarchy. Nobody cares what you do unless you kill somebody or commit some other egregiously illegal act. It ain't sanctimonious MAGAworld with its deep state conspiracy🐂💩, phony moral judgments and space laser theories. When Marjorie Taylor Greene visited they ran her out of there real fast 😰

[@yusunai]

the cameraman has plot armor. that was hella smooth recording. props!

[@churinvideo]

Cameraman did incredible! Keeping up with them in NYC traffic is an amazing achievement by itself, but to get those shots staying upright is wild. Great skating, great camera work, super edit!

[@enterlematrix]

Cameraman is a champion. This video should have 1mil already.

[@Jarrd260]

Your content feels real organic, like nothing feels staged or hyped up. I like it, its a nice breather from over the top content we see now a days.

[@vern_254]

Such an amazing flow. Ari, you are a great inspiration to a lot of street skaters like me. Shout out to the Camera man. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Watching from Nairobi, Kenya.

[@Bry514]

Hopefully, you'll be stoppingover to the states, someday soon, to enjoy these streets?!

[@Ca7iburn]

"It's, I like to have fun, kind of skates." Best description of a style o skates ever.

[@Tefloche03]

This guy is a legend! The reason why I bought my first skates and try to learn a bit more everyday. Incredible skills

[@danieljohn9257]

All three skaters really delivered! Bold but not stupid or reckless. Some real pro-level stuff! And that trek! Such good wholesome fun… both the skate And the banter. 😉 Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! 🤙🏼

[@Fossilsfools]

As a London skater I've always wanted to skate in Barcelona but this just makes me want to skate in New York! I'm not sure if I could keep up with you Christian but I'd definitely not want to try on race skates, hat off to Angelia for trying. You are an awesome skater dude. I really enjoyed the Chasing Strangers video. Used to be mad like that on quads in the 80's and 90's holding on to buses and stuff but survived into my mid fifties. I'm not sure you could do that stuff in London with narrow roads, pot holes and mopeds everywhere. My other favourite skater is Nicola Torrelli.

[@mamapetillo8675]

I didn’t intend to watch the entire video, but got caught up in the sheer joy of it. Well done!

[@serikimanchayev665]

Christian "the cameraman", way to go! Thanks, all of you guys. Relaxation for my eyes. 😍❤️

[@NightshadeTS]

This is beyond wholesome. Definitely comforting to watch!

[@rylequitain7678]

Camera guy for MVP

[@dnlpark]

That little scissor kick over the posts 🤩🤩 and your ability to ride backwards is incredible!

[@008af]

Such a wholesome video! Thoroughly enjoyed viewing the ride through the city! Showing the better sides of NYC lifestyle! Everyone needs to get outside more!

[@Jeremy-kg1zr]

The two of you are cute together and fun to watch. Thanks for the heartwarming vid with sweet skating.

[@TheAkdzyn]

The video, the people, the music, the skating, it's all so good! I've been binging your shorts and have officially subbed and I'm not disappointed by the first recommended video.

[@nocrab]

This was so good Ari! Great production value, huge props to Christian! 🙂 Also I loved the subtle dig at the end "most of ya'll" 😂

[@taagolarts3787]

holy shit the steady cam framing just stays good, what an amazing camera operator! Couple times I thought they were gonna get squished and they eked by, I held my breath lol

[@Nishinga.]

This video was absolutely incredible. Watching all 3 of you just glide through city was such ease was so hypnotizing it was therapeutic. The chemistry between you guys had put a smile on my face the entire 20 minutes and 18 seconds. Thank you so much for putting this together! It made my night

[@zkid676]

I love the two different styles One is speed and endurance and the other is syle and fluentity it cool to see

[@bowint400]

Enjoyed watching this very much! Thanks, and mad props to all involved. I was not too bad on a bike at that age, but I've never seen anyone weave through NY traffic like that guy. Takes a very good, fast eye, split second timing and absolute fearlessness. Loved how he runs about 100 red lights and then berates a driver for running one - the cheel of it! Amazing how the young woman kept up - I'm sure she is very athletic in her own right, but that kind of skating takes some getting used to (and a degree of madness :-))!

[@drazenli]

Love the fun, laughter and energy you bring to this the pair of ya

[@Slime_on_a_rock]

I was so curious that I went to googled, turns out it is legal to skate on the road. Learning something new everyday. 😃

[@sk-sm9sh]

In most places in Europe it's unfortunately not legal. Fortunately there are typically more cycle lanes. That said cycle lanes with skates are bit boring as it's narrow strip often not even enough space to stride comfortable and on top you need to keep watching behind your back when cyclists are coming to let them pass you.

[@nigelbrown2274]

What a fabulous upload! Love the comparison in styles between speed skating and stuttering skating! Well done to the camera man too

[@clope24]

I love that comparison too. How clean and precise Angelia's strides are and how Ari is always in control!

[@Blahaj-in-a-bath]

We do a skating unit in our gym class and it’s my favorite, my mom said that we can’t skate on pavement or concrete, I sent her this video and I might be getting rollerblades soon!!! Great video! I’ve learned a lot from these videos so I should really be saying… Thanks for helping me prove that I can skate on the sidewalk :D

[@BlockMasterT]

I’m here thinking, if you can’t skate on pavement or concrete, where else are you even able to skate? Grass?

[@Blahaj-in-a-bath]

@@BlockMasterT she said that you can only skate on wood 🥲👍

[@spookwackadoo]

Mic'd up stuff is the best. Great video!

[@KennethKetchum]

I FEEL ANGELIA'S PAIN. I put those same speed skates she has on, in my attic, they were so painful when I tried them a few months before the COVID pandemic, and now opted for a three wheel 110mm sized wheels which feel so much better and lighter. But watching this video, in preparation for this year's 2023 Big Apple Roll (I think she was in last year's video) she has now motivated to bring them out of my attic and try them on the bike trailways. But NEVER in the streets of NYC. They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO brave wheeling by traffic, which I can do, but over manhole covers, broken pavement and debris is insanely courageous, and especially at the speeds they were skating. I can seem to brake the way she does. Thanks for sharing this video cause it is a masterclass in urban skating.

[@Purzius]

Really enjoyed this! Love seeing some of NYC like this ^^

[@ReidFrasier]

Ari, love your videos! Really like the ones where you have a guest to banter with (and the amazing Christian to film). It makes it a story!

[@accelgamerhd4954]

Wow i just watched the whole thing and this was just a random video i clicked on probably because i used to do rollerblading as a 90's kid and seeing the two of you go at it is really impressive. Cameraman 10/10. Such a cool video. Edit: I watched this a second time. Sooooo good. Music on point. City is very pretty once you just take a moment to just forget about everything and just take it all in. The leg work is really something i really enjoyed seeing. 😎👍

[@Ngtef]

So much respect for the cameraman. Just amazing!

[@jayrichart0004]

NOTHING is worse than taking a “breather” in inline speed skates. YES they are molded specifically to your feet, but holy crap, carbon fiber hurts!! I had Bont Apaches molded to my feet, and they were so uncomfortable after an hour of skating. Freestyle/street skaters have the comfort to cruise for miles. I wish more companies would invest in a mid grade price, calf height, 110mm wheel base hill bobbing set up. This video is so awesome to see! Also a second thought, I wish speed skating/any skating in general would be as hyped up as BMX or skateboarding. The US hasn’t brought up skating since the 90’s but yet in other countries it’s praised. We need more of this!

[@ajentsong6151]

i enjoyed watching this! awesome guys!

[@baddan314]

Nice video ! As a speed skater and street skater myself I enjoyed watching it. It's true that usually speed skaters are lost on open roads

[@rayharvey1330]

With my luck...I'd be skating past parked cars at 100 mph and someone would open up their door on me.😮
