I want to live in Colorado, I want to start skating again. Vibes.

👌good job Brett and everyone 🫡

[@jacksonvreal_904]

Really cool video, thanks for sharing! By chance, have you guys seen Aragon blading in CO recently? I've heard some rumors he's getting back into it. Would be so sick to see him in a video like this. I know he has a full time "real job" in CO, but he's one of the best to ever do it. Keep up the good work, and cheers from FL!

[@brettwhite3]

Thank you for the support! Brian definitely still skates. It’s been great to have him at sessions more regularly.

Nice work, Good video 👍🏻

[@Apollothaprophet]

This is the funnest rollerblading movie I've seen in a long time. I really wish I could skate with yall but Im in the wrong part of the state, lol.

[@brettwhite3]

Whereabouts? Maybe we’ll be in your neighborhood during CORT?

[@JeffGonring]

Well done dude

I miss seeing blades in NYC so fucking much. I'm 40 still in NYC, hard to find aggressives in a size 12 for a decent price, but if I ever do, I will be back on the fucking streets. I used to get mad flak in the 90's for blading here, but I still did it anyway. Harold Hunter was the only dude who ever defended me and was cool with me and I miss him every day and miss seeing him on the streets.

[@jellijams5564]

Ay fuck those guys man, I wear pink and blue when I skate just so they know I'll laugh if they call me a fruit booter or rainbow roller 🤘

[@coryphillips1783]

Like, what did people say? I don't understand why people would hate on rollerblading

[@jesse_giovanni]

Hell yeah!!! Sick!!! Thank you rollerblading ❤

[@kevincollins8620]

I still remember Evol when Jeff Stanger, Chris Olpin, and I think George Veasy were SLC 3. Funny Spira was in Evol as well. The two Jeremy's Soderberg and Spira have become legends since that era. It's wild thinking back that was over 10 years ago when I was getting back on the boots after a 10 year break. Felt like starting all over with all the stuff going on then.

[@brettwhite3]

Seeing those guys skate in person really puts it into perspective just how good they still are

[@ericwall5459]

At 44, I am getting back into skating. Having grown up in Denver, I actually recognize and hit a lot of these places 20-25 years ago. I'd love to get out a roll around at some of these old and new spots again.

[@brettwhite3]

@@ericwall5459 you should! Check out Colorado Thursday Night Roll on Facebook. You can organize your own session on there or join for someone else’s. People are generally down to skate most weekends during the warmer months

[@ericwall5459]

@@brettwhite3 Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

Be careful, as an old man I've noticed concrete is harder than it used to be.

Heyo from Boulder! What an awesome production on every level 🔥 - hopefully i run into you guys sometime!

Heck yeah! Check out ‘colorado Thursday night roll’ and ‘Denver urban skate troop’ on FB/insta for events. Boulder is always a great place to have a session

this is insanely good.

Excellent movie I enjoyed every minute. You all did an amazing job.

Thank you, enjoyed this immensely.

Really appreciate that, Cian.

[@the_man_who_wasnt_there]

That vibe 😍

[@lustforlow-end6022]

Yes, it’s nice isn’t it? Blading is so good, I don’t understand how people can’t love shoes with wheels on them… best invention ever in my opinion 😊

[@sourgrind]

Awesome video legends! ✊🔥💪🙌

[@grimmshaw1960]

Beautiful. Thank for sharing. Long live rollerblading!

[@smallalice]

Impressive edit, great choice of music and awesome rollerblading!

[@brettwhite3]

Thank you Tom! I appreciate that

[@oldyroller]

Thank you for this film. It really felt so positive. My Skate session was rained off this evening so this really helped with the disappointment.

[@Jordan.Skates]

Awesome video Brett! Great representation of Colorado skating! Couldn’t make the premiere but glad I was able to watch it.

[@thecommission970]

A fine rollerblade film indeed! 2 bad not every1 was on that off road tip

[@brettwhite3]

I feel like we barely scratched the surface. Would love to find some new trails, and would love to get back to a bike park with a crew

[@BUTTERTV]

That was fun to watch! Great job everyone and see you guys at the next Mile High Battle! Cheers!

[@brettwhite3]

Appreciate you checking it out, JP! Looking forward to seeing you again in the fall 🤙🏻

[@Inkachu]

I thought Josh fell off, hadn’t see a vid from him pop up in a while. Great to see you all in action. This is a long video and time well spent. Awesome 🏆

[@brettwhite3]

Thank you! Yeah Josh has been an awesome friend to skate with and a great influence on the scene as a whole. He’s definitely still skating!

[@travelingwithdusty]

Awesome video Brett! This turned out awesome! Great skating and awesome filmwork! Well done everyone!

[@oldska8ter]

Great Job Brett! Colorado has always been rolling their own scene for quite awhile really, Denver in particular has carried the torch.Some of My favorite memories are being allowed in rolling (I was 48 yrs at the time , so roll was about the extent for me) with my son, nephew, Spira, The Prince, Jeremy Gallagoes, Luke bender, Eli Davis a host of others as they made their way through neighbor hood comps, and other friendly underground contests. Then there is The Great Colorado Road trip! Thanks to rollers like you all, I worked at both Woodward West and East, made it to several IMYTA's and volunteered , and had my own crazy skate road trip in the infamous Skull Car, back in the days of Daily Bread!! thanks for the memories

[@brettwhite3]

That sounds wild, Jonathan! So cool that you’ve been able to experience all of that. I just hope it continues in one form or another!

[@hunter_hult]

Thanks for the film man… I grew up in Boulder and now live in Denver… it’s really cool to see all the spots I used to skate and how the community has grown in recent years. It makes me wanna get back into some rollerblades and see if I can still do it. Much love y’all ❤

[@brettwhite3]

Thank you for watching! Skating classic spots was a big highlight of the experience for me. Holler if you end up getting back into it!

[@billyarlew]

So proud to be included in your film. This is a great representation of the skate culture here. Awesome work dude!

[@brettwhite3]

Appreciate you, Billy!

[@j4nk3n]

Wow super dope edit! This was a pleasure to watch! Great job on every level 👏

[@brettwhite3]

Your words mean a lot. Thank you.

[@ROOFTOPREN]

What an amazing edit! Colorado rollerblading is something special. Really enjoyed this movie!

[@T.-alas]

what a masterpiece

[@dinguskhan9969]

Phenomenal songtrack to all this.

[@chinobean3555]

i liked this cuz i felt the tricks were more relatable but still super sick and the filming/editing is on point

[@Apollothaprophet]

What kind of blades were being used on that dirt trail?!

[@brettwhite3]

Just normal ones with big wheels! Urethane wheels work fine on smooth hard-packed trails, like the jump lines we were doing, but tires come in handy on sand and bumps.

[@ionclimbs]

Im getting into aggressive skating. Is there a way i can join the colorado community?

[@brettwhite3]

Check out Denver Urban Skate Troop, and Colorado Thursday Night Roll on FB/insta. That’s a good place to start!

[@TrashMatador]

This video makes me want to start going to TNR again, man i miss skating!

[@larrycheek3588]

Good Vibes 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@BlackMammoth907]

This is rad! I’m trying to do something pretty much identical but up here in Alaska. Doing it essentially all on my own. Any advice would be awesome.

[@brettwhite3]

That’s awesome! I don’t know that I have too much advice other than figure out what your vision is and stick to it. A lot of my filming was aimless, and I struggled to pull it together into a cohesive film at the end as a result. Who knows if you’ll have that same problem though. My general advice is to organize your clips, edit while you film, and always remember to have fun with it!

[@f3rnandinho659]

Bom demais !

[@danviv64]

What helmets would you recommend? I just started getting back into skating here in Lakewood but I'd also like to not kill myself lol.

[@brettwhite3]

Whatever helmet FITS and that you actually WANT to wear! There are different certifications and what-not, and I’m not too educated on all of them to be honest. The dual-certified MIPS by triple8 looks like a good option for a lot of protection, but I couldn’t find a size that fit me well enough. I personally have an ennui elite helmet right now. I used to have a POC crane. Both have worked well for me. Try on a few and pick your favorite!

Where are some good spots to skate in the Springs?

[@brettwhite3]

Hmm good question. Hit up @acostablades channel - he might know some good ones. I’ve only street skated there a couple of times myself, and I don’t remember where we were! There are definitely a few classic spots in the area though.

[@andrewclarke9321]

What skatepark is at 26:00?? I’m in Denver for the week.

The one with the Tom Leong clip? That’s green block skatepark in Boulder on Valmont road.
