Urban Flow Skate - Friday Night Skate

[@Andromeda.x]

Skating makes u feel like ur flying over the city and u feel speed 😎

[@magnolia2]

Beautiful! I’m about to head out right now to roller skate alone around my neighborhood at 10:40pm and wondered if anybody else skates at night. Something about the peace and quiet makes me feel soothed. Wish there was a skate group near me. I would love to skate with you because you’re so chilled.

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

Thanks Shaky! Skating at night or really early morning is my favorite! The peacefulness of it all makes it feel like I'm in another world. I'm fortunate to live in a place where there are a good number of skaters to share the passion with. I hope you've been well during these times. Skating is a great escape!

Alright - welcome to the sport!

You see like a really good and chill dude! The calming voice over and the great flow perfectly fits together! Great video :)

[@aramislucas3281]

I like to skate alone at night too, and your video made me remember something that I like to think sometimes. It is that when you do something, you may say you are somehow connected with someone you don't even know. Maybe people that live somewhere else that are skating under the same nightsky or maybe listening to the same musics, chilling in their own way, or maybe people who used to skate there in another time, just where you are passing by. It's kinda magical, isn't it? In a possible way. Being virtually connected with people you don't even know.

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

It's always a great time skating at night. Sometimes in the chaos of life, it makes me feel like I'm in control again. Just me and my thoughts.

[@cherrybeerry]

Just back from lfns and this vid makes me want to go back and skate on my own at night like I used to do in my 20s, just speed, lights, empty streets and inspiration.

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

Nothing like some good old "me time" on skates!

You have a very nice and calming voice. 😊

[@outerspacelocation]

just found this! i have always wanted to start city skating, and this vid was the final push. your voice was very calming to listen to as i did my homework. and your anecdotes are great :)

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

Thank you! Skating in the city can get a little bit crazy during the day time. The very early mornings and late evenings are great times to go because it's much more quiet. Just make sure to have your lights so cars/pedestrians can see you! Be safe ~

[@luvmaika]

Skating with a large group gives me a sense of community. I'm not much of a social person either, but when I'm skating with groups I just think "yeah these are my people, each doing their own thing".

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

I went to the FNS for the first time in a little while last night and I was thinking the same thing!

[@davidgoedde8170]

I used to skate aggressive and roller hockey back in the late 90's and early 2000's during its peak. I'm just getting back into it and I realize how much I love about it, how much I miss about it - the thrill, motion, presence in the moment, style, freedom, fitness and of course the bond with others who share the same love of it. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You captured the essence of blading in a personal yet relatable way. Keep it up!

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

There are many that are discovering/rediscovering their passion for skating. It was just a matter of having the will put on a pair of skates and going rolling with it. It's great to have you back!

i just started to inline skate and this video showed in my yt recommend, and ya this is really cool, your story and your voice so calm, i like it. keep it up! Ill watch all upcoming Friday Night Skate from you

[@altruex]

These words are exactly how i feel (rewatching the video again and paying attention to the words) wow... this is why i started skating (i have very little ice skating skill and 1 month on inlines and i feel so alive yet so much potential...) i despite that i feel like i want to inspire people. Like a sueprhero on skates reminding people what it looks like to feel alive again just through simplicity alone. Theres nothing more simple than skating down the night street empty and quiet, flying by as if you were a dancing spirit. I felt this on friday night as well skating in my area (relatively unsafe) but i just felt so inspired after the meetup and i wanted to just skate and be free from concern. Truly one of my new passions

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

You totally nailed it and I agree 100%. Thank you for sharing. Wear your lights, represent, and be safe out there!

[@mattpozniak8287]

I watched this a couple of times listening to 'blinding lights'. Yeah I know its main stream pop but with the flow of your ride and all the lights it is a very CyperPunk2020 with heavy 80's touch. I used to rollerbalde a lot like 20 years ago. Going back to this just now. Waiting for a delivery of my urban skates just now. Missing the feeling of freedom and synchronisation with everything around. Peace. Love the video. Keep skating brother.

[@lechar92]

I live in Paris, and I used to ride that city at night only, all night long for over 20 years now (except from 2007 to 2017, I was in Shanghai), and now I still love it, eben more with Luminous LED wheels. Anybody coming to Paris and wanna go for a Paris by Night ride with me, just reply to this comment. Peace :-)

[@altruex]

Haha came across your video, thanks for this, its nice to hear your commentary because i go through the same introversion and shyness. Im an awkwadd person and im new to skating. Im planning to do a meet up tomorrow so im nervous, but its nice to know you enjoyed the sense of community

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

Hi Van Nguyen. A sense of community is great, regardless if I interact or not. I'm not the fondest of social events, but it's good to push myself every once in a while to do so and the FNS is a good way for me to do it. I hope your meet up the other day went well!

[@altruex]

@@motorlearningaddiction6284 thanks for your response! Im a fairly social guy when im having fun and feel a sense of passion, but over the years my depression and anti social tendency gotten the best of me, so i sort of needed an excuse to meet people. Skating was one way by for me, youre right on the aspect of putting yourself out of the comfort zone and even if you don’t always meet or social with everyone , you show up for yourself and thats the most important. Im glad to be able to meet people and be exposed to the skate community, everyone seem so humble and kind in this community i had notice so far! Skating has been so meditative, freeing and therapeutic for me. So im grateful to be inspired by people you in such a niche and relatively re-emerging community. I’m happy to be apart of it 🙏

[@tellyourstorymusicbyikson]

This is an awesome production concept you got going on here, in times where ASMR etc is vastly popular. It was very meditative with the voice + cool to see the city as you were skating through it. I would love to contribute if I can; I think my track 'Views' could fit pretty good to a similar production. It's free to use as all my music if credit is given. Keep producing these videos man and I'm confident you could blow up!

[@cindyreed187]

@@motorlearningaddiction6284 Question for you: What kind of wheels/skates do you prefer?

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

@@cindyreed187 I only have 1 pair of skates, which are my powerslide hardcore evos. I have an accessory navicular, so I have to wear boots with heat moldable shells. Wheels I prefer 84A hardness for any type of skating. I find that 85a is just a tiny bit more slippery than I like, though 85a are the standard hardness, besides 90a which is much more slippery and 82a which are way too grippy. To find the in-between hardnesses you'll have to really go out of your way to find them. Size preference depends on what I'm doing. Slalom I use 76/80/80/76, on the street I'll use either 90 or 110. If brand was your question, then I don't have enough experience to talk about them because I haven't owned enough pairs of skates to state a fair opinion. For wheels, you really just have to try them out to know what works for you. Generally, whatever hardness you start with is what you're going to be used to using. You won't feel much difference until you skate on different surfaces, skate faster, or perform slides. If you're buying new skates, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the hardness or size or number of wheels unless you know the kind of skating you're going to be doing. However, if you're doing slalom, then I would definitely go for a 4x80 frame so you can banana rocker them. Anyways, I would focus primarily on finding a boot that is comfortable on your feet for long periods of time. I had to try multiple boots until I found one that suited my foot shape and skating needs. Boots can really hurt if they don't fit and it can be a real bummer when you just want to have fun on your wheels.

Thanks Felipe! I've intended to create more videos but my camera broke 2 years ago and it was too expensive to replace. I don't have any other use for a 360 camera other than to film skating videos; and since I don't make these videos for profit, it's difficult for me to put up the cash to purchase a replacement. For now, I'm happy knowing that I was able to produce a product that was able to reach as many people as it has so far! The goal for this video was none other than to share a story and a reflection.

@@motorlearningaddiction6284 if there's anything that I could add, is that I was really hoping for this film to climax with you meeting your crew at the end. There was a alot of drama an suspense in your narration. The whole thing felt like a build up to where youd endnby rolling up to a crowd of skaters and we get a glimpse of some of the characters mentioned. Perhaps something to consider if you wanted to refilm, cut your original audio and out it over a new extended footage and enter an amature film contest.

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

​@@beezwaks Thank you so much for your suggestion and input. I had never considered an amateur film contest or thought of this video as being a film for that matter. I really enjoyed making the narration and I've been interested in making another. Many have asked me to make more of this style of video, but unfortunately my camera is dead and I can't film unless I have a 2nd skater or I buy new camera. I'm currently looking at buying a new camera, but in the past year I've been going through a lot of changes in life (nothing bad). It sounds like a long time, but hopefully in the next year when things settle down, I can get back into it. I will definitely hold your comment close when I return to a more stable life-style.

Damn, this is dope. I recently started skating again and I forgot how much I loved it. Unfortunately I can’t really skate in my city because Castro Valley is nothing but hills lol. I like the idea of going to Golden Gate Park in the morning though. Do you know of any groups or communities to skate with? I’m an introvert, so I generally prefer small groups.

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

Hi - GGP is closed off to vehicle traffic so you are free to go there any time and the road is yours. In SF, there is the Friday that begins at 9pm on the street island across from the ferry building and the Tuesday night skate that begins I believe at 7:30pm at the Aquatic park parking lot. As for smaller groups, I am sure there a bunch, but they are likely more exclusive unless you know them. The Friday night skate is a large group, ~13 mile skate, hills and all, many stops. Tuesday night skate is a much smaller group, but still around 15-20 people, completely flat, faster pace/less stops, goes from aquatic park to oracle park and back. Check out the sf friday night skate facebook group for more info.

I would suggest picking up on slalom skills. Look up videos for tutorials on freestyle slalom tricks to start.

Once you learn two, practice alternating back and forth between the two, then learn a 3rd, etc

Is this the Friday night skate in San Francisco? I want to go but worry the routes have steep hills. Is that the case?

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

Yes it is the friday night skate in SF. It does have some steep hills. The most difficult uphill is in the beginning, Fort Mason. Besides that, there are some other relatively steep ones but they are short blocks. Going up is not so much the issue because there are plenty of breaks for people to catch up. Going down is the more challenging portion of the skate where you really have to know how to break or decelerate. If the hills are too intimidating, but want to test out a skate with a flat route, try the tuesday night skate.

Yes, actually! Any wheels are welcome. Bicyclists and scooters are asked to stay behind skaters because of safety. The braking distance for skaters is a lot longer than people with disc brakes that can nearly stop on a dime.

[@SaccoBelmonte]

I wanna live in your city. Salzburg barely has places to skate :/

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

It is a blessing to be in a city that is skatable! Come visit :)

Is friday night skate still going?

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

Definitely! It just restarted as SF went back to the red zone about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Last year was a bit rough due to covid guidelines and curfews.

Isit just me or does anyone else find it frustrating that one foot is dominant and the weak foot never seems to keep up? Usually its the left foot for most. Isit possible to even get it as good as your right?

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

It is very frustrating! Everyone has a dominant foot or side that they do things on. I personally do not like learning things on my non-dominant, but it's the only way to learn. To be honest, I don't like using my non-dominant because I suck at it. On the other hand, as long as I force myself to use my non-dominant, I'll be that much more versatile. It's totally worth it.

I told him I wanted to make sure no one was left behind, then I left him behind. I waited with him to show him the way, but I didn't really want to show him the way, just to seem like I did, he should have given me an "out".

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

I think you may have misinterpreted. I go to the FNS to skate. So, did I want to miss out on 45 minutes of the 3 hour skate - no, nobody would. But again, I wanted to make sure people didn’t get left behind; therefore, I stayed by his side and we eventually caught up to the rest of the group, together. Thanks for watching :)

Hey fellow night skater.. I like your video just.... can you back away from the mic a bit?? Your forced whisperyvoice gets a tad annoying. I should not want to fall a sleep watching a skate video

[@motorlearningaddiction6284]

I didn't intend to force a whisper. I recorded the audio late at night and was trying to keep my voice down to avoid waking others. It was my intention to make it a calming video, hence the music choice. Thanks for watching!

@@motorlearningaddiction6284 rite on!! It was a cool video and we all love watching them. Thank you! Please provide feedback when I post a video too so I can continue to improve. Thank you!!!!
