Teaching My Friend How To Rollerblade // Faction V1 & Roces 5th Element // Aggressive Skate Vlog

[@thebigfootblader]

some ppl just catch on quicker than others. he's now your rival, the Sasuke to your Naruto. let that motivate you to keep doing better 💪💪💪

[@inlineonline]

Haha I'm just happy to have someone to skate with and film clips

[@chino15247]

Your friend had the benefit of watching you do it in person along with support and advice from you. You learned everything all on your own without much external support. This is all the more reason for you to try to meet and session with other rollerbladers (preferably ones that are more advanced than yourself) so that you can vibe off each other.

[@inlineonline]

yeah that certainly helps! it was the same thing when I started mountain biking with him a couple years ago, he was a lot better than me which motivated me to get out there on the trails and get better so I could keep up

[@chino15247]

This is not to take away from your friend’s natural ability though. Doing a soul that well on the first day is definitely impressive.

[@Zephyrian1st]

dude the competition aspect homies bring to the table changes everything! so happy to see homies skaten!

[@inlineonline]

it really is much more fun like this lol

[@MixinMum1210]

Your friend is definitely a natural at skating. Imagine what he will be like after skating a while, he’s really good now 👍🏻

[@inlineonline]

right!! hopefully these comments motivate him to come out and skate more

[@MixinMum1210]

@@inlineonline I hope so 👍🏻😊

[@grandiak2]

i agree your friend is a natural. i hope the sport sticks with him. its great to see the duo vibes tbh i might even be a bit jealous!

[@inlineonline]

Yeah hopefully he wants to skate more often after seeing these comments, he would be super good in a few months

[@santaslilhelper4945]

Damn your homie should stick with it fr. Crazy that he can do souls that good already. You were killing it as well, love the box and rail lines 👏

[@inlineonline]

I know right It's crazy lol He's built for this

[@enzocalzone5298]

the rollerblading police called, they said your friend progressed to quickly🥶

[@inlineonline]

His potential must be so high, it took me months to commit to a soul grind lol

[@corneliusparkin2401]

Great video. Your friend has a much more mobile and open body. Skating is such a whole body athletic activity. The more athletic one is the quicker one picks it up. Unlike with let’s say skateboarding which is more technical unnatural movement. You’re improving though and making content that is great so respect sir respect 🫡

[@inlineonline]

yeah he's a much more natural athlete and never really stopped being active since high school, his coordination really shows! And thank you I appreciate that!! I made even more progress once I got my new razor sl's they are a bit more forgiving in terms of boot down angle

[@corneliusparkin2401]

@@inlineonline I have Asperger’s and I am a fitness/lifestyle coach. So I am used to just giving advice even when it’s not been asked for. I would like a to apologize for my interaction with you a few weeks ago. Trust me, I am not trying to be a smartass. I just need to remember that unless I am asked to not give advice. 😉 following you again perhaps one day we can have a game of skate. I am in the process of restarting full time and I have my angled soul on the factions. Very similar set up to yourself.

[@inlineonline]

@@corneliusparkin2401 no worries my man I promise I didn't take it too heart! I have a bit of an argumentative personality so if my reply came off snappy I apologize for that as well. Advice is fine! I might not always take it but its still useful, and I can be super stubborn so its good to take in different perspectives even if I don't always agree

[@nay0r]

ah man that was really cool to watch your friend is pretty good. was also nice to see a different perspective on the place you skate. have you tried the quarter pipe drop in? also have you tried jumping over the box your grinding to test your jumping?

[@inlineonline]

I havent dropped in on that quarter or jumped the box, they are both grappy metal american ramp company ramps and they basically go untouched lol I might mess around with it a little bit but theres a skatepark 5 minutes away from this that has way better transition, just no round coping ledges haha I left a prail there but someone took it. This place has cameras so I felt a bit safer leaving my box here

[@kennethlarsen7147]

Dope bro!!!

[@f3rnandinho659]

very good bro! continue assim, até me animei voltar a andar e gravar també, pra incentivar mais a galera

[@inlineonline]

I love it!!!

[@Sicnus]

Ok he has to throw his friend at me when he know I can't even do one grind. 😞 Ur bro gonna be pstarin' down the 5 stair rail next week.

[@inlineonline]

haha it is pretty wild how easily he was able to pick it up, he has done a lot of different action sports in his life though so it certainly helps, including some skiing!

[@roopnarinericky]

Damn bro that's so cool. I wish I could recruit one of my friends to skate with me!

[@inlineonline]

yeah it feel like its impossible to get anyone to do anything active after 30, everyone else just wants to do boring shit lol

[@roopnarinericky]

@inlineonline yeah I'm 36 and you're right. It's hard to get anyone to do anything active anymore.

[@JeffDelreal]

Dude, you're hitting your grinds at some pretty decent speed now!

[@inlineonline]

It's weird I like grinding slower because I get to feel like I'm on the grind for longer but it definitely looks way better when I skate faster

[@chino15247]

You’ll find that speed and momentum (as long as it’s not too much) plays a big part to balancing. It’s kinda like riding a bicycle, harder to balance if you’re going super slow as opposed to having a bit of speed and momentum. Also, going slower doesn’t make the rail any longer 🤣. You tend to roll past the end of the rail a little bit before hopping on. On your approach, if you jump earlier by around 1-2 feet BEFORE the end of the rail you could slide a longer distance. This requires a certain level of confidence and precision (can only be gained through time, practice, and muscle memory) on your part to be able to lock on if jumping from a good distance away before the rail though.

[@inlineonline]

@@chino15247 yeah but the ammount of time you're on the grind is longer when you go slower, like when I'm pulling up slow it might take 3 whole seconds for my soul grind to end, but if I pull up as fast as I can its over in under a second. Same exact distance grinded but to me in my head, the slower one feels better. Its obviously way easier to balance when going fast, which almost tricks you into a false sense of confidence. For me it makes much more sense to start slow, make sure I can literally stop on the grind and keep balance. going as fast as I can and barely touching down into the grind before I'm off the coping doesn't really help me at all lol you don't really learn the balance point like that, you're just surviving off momentum alone. Its important to learn the balance first, then ramp up the speed. You can't just send it full speed, otherwise you're going to think you have better balance than you actually do. I see so many people who take years to learn any real tricks because they are flying around the park trying to do makios at 10 mph while NOT committing because they don't need to. The faster you go the less you actually have to commit to weighting your feel correctly and taking control of the balance, Easier is not always better, especially when learning remember it is just like riding a bike, you have WAY better balance if you can demonstrate a track stand, staying completely still while keeping the bike upright. Its harder, but its a real skill. Going fast on a bike doesn't help your balance, it just makes it EASIER to balance. Big difference. Anyone can balance a bike at speed, very little amount of people can track stand a bike. Slower takes more skill, more balance.

[@DrogoSchulz]

Hopefully he sticks with it and becomes a regular on the channel

[@inlineonline]

I hope so too, I've got a full set a pads and my roces whenever he needs them

[@fabianlopez-llort7641]

There's no way no way. Are you trying to hustle me. 12 minutes of skating and he's doing soul grind

[@inlineonline]

Right!!! I was shocked lol

[@Rollerbalder]

Man, that's insane that he's able to grind within minutes of lacing them up, let alone skate around confidently. Does he plan to continue skating with you?

[@inlineonline]

ive been trying to get him out skating more but he's pretty busy with full time work and all his different hobbies, I think staying active really helps and he's one of the most active people I know. He's hiking more national parks than I've visited states lol

[@DionyTupet]

There's no way that this is his first time 😅

[@inlineonline]

insane right lol I thought he was messing with me but he genuinely hasnt done it before, he has done a little bit of park skiing though. I think thats why he just sent it lol

[@toasty862]

@@inlineonline oh NOW it makes sense. Skiing's really close. Yeah otherwise there's no chance you can just lace em up and go like that.
