Top 10 Wizard Skaters You Need To Know | Wizard Skating

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

Thanks for putting this together, it's great to see more Wizard content about and you've put me on to a couple of new names 🍻

[@TomMoyse]

Thanks for the kinds words. Really cool you’ve found some new names through it

[@Rolkosfera]

I would add Shaun and Alex = Flow Skate - they have such an unique positive vibe, mix of urban, wizard and something different. Every single video is like "look how fun skating is". And when it comes to aggresive skaters doing wizard stuff, I really liked Eugen Enin in the powerslide 4x90 rockered frame promo video. From small channels highly recommend the KazuMori20 - short black and white viideos, very smooth moves, really pleasent to watch.

[@TomMoyse]

Yea completely correct. I was meant to give him a shout in my revised version of this and totally missed it! He is fantastic

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Yeah. I was also expecting to see Shaun in the list.

[@miekpls]

kazu mori is so good T_T

[@wlfglt7773]

And maybe Awei from China kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXupqnefoZ16jbssi=vc6bdVsF5uTt59SI Watch from 0:45

[@J3f3R20n]

Such a shame Collin Brattey don't put out more skating footage out there. He and Leon are beasts on the wizards.

[@TomMoyse]

Yea would love to see more Stuart and Colin for that matter.

[@craigchisholm7399]

thanks for explaining wizard skating, 50yr old here. loved the aggressive scene 30 yrs ago. Great vid, much appreciated.

[@TomMoyse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ismskism]

Yooo, what a list! Great vid, love the way inline is progressing and diversifying! I really rate the new Rob Kellet edit, feel like he shows mushroom and wizard inspiration so well and subtlety in his street skating. I can't decide between Bratty, Junkyu, Able and Torelli as fav tbh, each has such a unique style. Thanks for the mention mate, not sure I'm worthy tho;P still can't get a clean toe press :'(

[@billyarlew]

I noticed that too! Especially in that mizu to ledge swivel!

[@billyarlew]

I was stoked to see your name on the list Jörgen! The exploratory nature of your edits is super engaging

my appreciation for wizard skating started here a while ago, i fully respect anyone who flows effortlessly like these folks and especially those who integrate it into their aggressive skating. nice one mate. alright. spotty m.f. dog.

[@TomMoyse]

Cheers dude. Yea it’s captivating to watch and it’s integration with aggressive skating has just made everything so much more interesting

[@bradcran4304]

Always enjoy your vids. I’m not an aggressive skater but all styles look great to me. I’d add Minh Le Hemmer to the names. Not too much content from him and I’m not sure he’d say he is a Wizard skater but his NN Sumo frames edit was amazing.

[@TomMoyse]

Thanks. Will check him out

[@nothing_happening_here]

Yep, Minh Le Hemmer is undeniably one of the best to ever strap on wizard style skates.

[@TomMoyse]

@@nothing_happening_here checked him out, great skater he has quite an aggressive/urban skating style. Doesn’t do a lot of footwork or toe presses from what I’ve seen. I personally think the best Wizards skater is either Stuart Brattey or Junkyu

[@JustRock6761]

thanks mate for covering this

[@TomMoyse]

My pleasure

[@rollforever85]

@@TomMoyse It’s hard to choose one person, but yeah I would say Stu when it comes to Wizard stuff. Great aggressive skater too

[@TomMoyse]

@@rollforever85 yea he is superb. Wish there was more footage

[@PinkPulpito]

A trick is jump up and slide down. But from the moment you put on your skates you have the choice to have this immense flow from beginning to end if you practice just ground fundamentals. Like how skateboarding abandoned flat style freestyle but overlooked what superb board control can do for street skating. A lot of my quad skating is just carving down hills feeling out my edges chaining as much moves together as is possible.

[@TomMoyse]

Understanding your equipments limitation will take you far 🙌🏻

[@angel_of_rust]

yeah, the skateboarding counterpart pretty much started and ended with Mullen

[@mean-genes]

Great video! Thanks for giving me some new to me skaters to follow.

Beyond complexity, I think it’s quite obvious that jk, Leon, and brattey are multiple levels above everyone else here in terms of body control and balance.

WHAT DOES THE FRAME PROVIDE? What about the wide frame is useful? I’m on a short standard FR1 Seba Frame

[@TomMoyse]

Responsive, incredible energy transfer, stability. All key aspects of high level wizard skating

[@nicholasjohnstone5924]

@@TomMoyse on paper that seems great My ape brain instinct is telling me shorter wheel bases are the way to go to not compromise maneuverability and “not trip myself up” with crossing over etc. my dad does marathon skating and that wide frame means only straight lines( sounds horrible!) and I had a quick background with Slalom where Short Frames are everything. Perhaps just need to try em out sort of a seeing is believing lol Thanks!

[@nsebast]

I love blading but grinding never interested me. This sytle interest me though and I am 40+ now, this style dont look too dangerous.

[@TomMoyse]

Yes there is a good part of wizard skating you can keep lower risk. It will be more technically demanding to get all the fundamentals down, and you will have bails but there a defo less risk than grinding hand rails 🙌🏻

Would you mind comparing slalom skating and wizard skating for a video? From the tiny bits I’ve seen, wizard skating looks very similar to aggressive inline skating, but with much more style that brings it closer to slalom skating

[@domingez79]

Leon exploring creating OK but why his frames so expensive

[@TomMoyse]

Because of the quality and design. It’s a premium product that should last for a very long time

[@smithjohn3080]

Dustin latimer pioneered this style in the mid 90s

[@TomMoyse]

Not really. He was very creative and skated outside of the traditional moves, but it’s more just creative / mushroom style like Nick Wriggle, Andy Kruise and Tom Hysler did before him. Wizard takes from so many different disciplines there is no one person or one style that really pioneered it before it came about.

[@smithjohn3080]

@TomMoyse ok 👍 👌 Kruise and hysler would agree with me... just ask em after you go back and watch his 2part in the old words video. Known DL since way back with cars and rolling... just stating history since seems to be trying be rewritten 🙌 figured you'd agree tbh but not sure why you'd be so firmly against time and history... it's real bro

[@TomMoyse]

@@smithjohn3080 I stand by what I said. You’re confusing creative, untraditional skating with wizard skating. Latimer was an incredibly influential skater but not the sole pioneer of wizard style. It takes more from slalom and figure skating. Watch my other two videos on wizard for a better understand of what Wizard skating is then you’ll have a clearer understand of what influences it 🫡

[@smithjohn3080]

@@TomMoyse I never said sole pioneer...

[@rollforever85]

Latimer was more Mushroom Blading. Unorthodox tricks on unorthodox spots, but still very much aggressive skating.. wall rides, cess slides, grinding and rolling on different obstacles with freestyle frames. He wasn’t doing all the swivel type movements that are possible with a rockered wheel set up. Wizard skating is more like a combination of slalom, figure skating and aggressive. Latimer was very creative but it was very different to Wizard skating.

Nah, they have a point. People are talking about tricks like Lions and Gazelles as if they are new and came from Wizard, they didn't. Just like skateboarding, we've had freestyle inline from the beginning and also just like skateboarding, freestyle got shunned and forgotten. Some people add a 5th wheel and do the exact same tricks and now it's suddenly cool. That's all Wizard is, freestyle, but accepted. I agree, it's not that innovative.

[@ismskism]
