I hadn't rollerbladed in about 6 years. I'm 38 years old and I've been rollerblading all my life. Your videos motivated me to pick up my skates and go back out there. I've been having an absolute blast, I can't believe I had stopped rollerblading. Thank you so much for inspiring me and getting me to do something I absolutely love but had forgotten about it.
Same age, same story, except I havent skated in about 20 years. Love Ari's videos and just picked up a new pair of skates for myself, also having a blast.
Strongly Agree... However these "skater" helmets seem more Ornamental than Functional. Yes, the outer shell protects you from abrasion and even very light impact. The outer shell also functions to spread out impact forces (important reason not to drop or scratch your helmet). The inner shell is typically made of Polystyrene (PS) and is designed to absorb these impact forces. The inner shell (plastic) deforms so that it does not rebound. This would otherwise cause your head to bounce after impact. Making a bad thing (much) worse. The problem that I find with these skater helmets? The inner PS shell is not rated to the impact forces typically found with skaters. I find these shells to be Much Too Hard and the PS in many cases to be of (very) low quality. And, incorrect fitting. Made to look like a helmet and not much else. Result? Minimal inner shell impact absorption. Most of the impact forces are translated directly to the head. As if you were not even wearing a helmet. Could I be wrong? Sure. Apart from skating, ice hockey, I do more aggressive (motor)sports like 600/1000 circuit track riding and SuperMoto (look it up). Have been skating and riding for nearly 40 years. Your gear, how it fits and the protection it offers become increasingly important to you as a rider. Hitting the pavement tends to hurt... Love watching TSS skate. :)
@@TriAngles3D You are both right and wrong about the helmets. The helmets are essentially an insurance policy. If you bang your head on something, yes it will still hurt. These helmets are not designed to absorb impact in the same way an airbag is, or like motorcycle helmets. They are designed to crack and split taking energy out of the crash and protect your skull from splitting. In the EU we have the CE certifications which all bicycle style helmets need to pass. One of the tests is a droptest, where they drop the helmet with a weight inside at 13 mph onto a metal anvil. The accelerometer inside the helmet can't exceed 250 G. You will still have quite the headache, but at least you should get away without cracking open your skull.
@@kaspertillgaard676 Appreciate the input and remarks. Valued. For insurance? Not designed like airbag nor motorcycle helmet? Yes, all agreed. But designed to split? This sets a wrong design precedence in my view. A helmet that splits may restrict rebound and even rotational forces. But it adsorbs the impact significantly less. And, does so in a less preferred way. Materials (low yield strength, brittle, too notch sensitive) that crack ineffectively absorb impact energy. The energy remains focused (bad thing) over the fault line and is translated directly to the inner PS shell. This in turn cracks as well (more of a bad thing). The impact absorption is minimal. The result is more than just a headache. Bullet-proof glass cracks. But it is made up of many layers and each layer absorbs a lot of energy before cracking. Again, the idea that it is acceptable for the helmet to crack at impact sets a wrong precedence in helmet design and impact dynamics. It is bad practice. Skate helmet need to employ tougher outer shells and softer inner shell PS which better match the impact speeds. What I have seen, they don't. 250G impact limit test. A brain weighs about 1.5kg. So that brain is max exposed to @ 375kg at impact? 250G is more than 2x the concussive impact range! The G curve is non linear. Twice impact speed means 4 times the impact force. So even at half that speed you are getting nearly 100kg peak impact? Rough calculation: At a velocity of 13mph or 5.8m/s. Assuming that - Brain 1.5kg - Impact duration limit 0.01 sec (longer is better) - Deformation helmet at impact limit 0.03 mtr 5.8 x 5.8 x 1.5 x 0.5 = 25 joule of kinetic energy 25 / 0.01 = 2.5 kw of power at impact 25 / 0.03 = 830 N of mean impact force 5.8 / (0.01 x 9.81) = ~60G 60G is a sub-concussive impact for adults (but not for kids). What is the 250G test limit supposed to reveal? This seems overly excessive. Are you sure it is 250G?
@@TriAngles3D it's a peak force of 250G yes, and that peak force. Looked it up specifically for this. The thing is, if you make it too soft, the helmets need to be bigger, it would look more like a motor cycle helmet or a cross helmet, and good luck getting people to wear that when skating or riding their bike. In terms of the helmets splitting. Any force that is causing the helmet to split and crumble, is force that is not reaching your skull. The problem with making current helmet designs softer is that, if they try to absorb impact though deceleration in foam, is that your skull might just split inside the helmet instead. That's what I mean by insurance policy. Current bike helmets are basically just an extra thick layer of skull. It's going to hurt like hell. But you'll live. I know some people experiment with the helmet designs you are mentioning, but I've never seen a good one with my own eyes. Ski helmets actually behave more like what you describe, but they are also way bigger, and have to deal with a different kind of crashes. So there it makes sense that they cushen impact. I get what you mean about rotational force though. That's why the mips system was developed. But it's not mandatory in helmets. Chances are if you have a crash that's big enough where you end up smacking your head in a serious way, you are probably not skating or biking home anyway. I've tried cracking a helmet once. It was not fun, but I'm alive because of it. I trust the years and years of R&D that have gone into helmets, and I don't buy from cheap manufacturers. But more reputable brands.
Just a little addition. I don't quite agree with that brittle materials are worse at dealing with impacts. It's the whole reason why ceramic body armor exists. It takes all the energy out of the bullet by by essentially breaking. It's still gonna hurt, but at least you are not dead.
Great video! Thanks so much for showing us the editing process! Cat clearly had to work so hard with those hockey inlines. As someone who's never used the type of skates you have, how big is the difference for speed and control? I imagine hockey skates have better control?
Of course, thank you for tuning in. Hockey skates are just meant for a different application. More forward flex I would say. Urban skates gives one more latitude in their skating.
Watched it in 480) looks ok. What are really the changes comparing with the previous version? I'm still pretty satisfied with my X2, youtube anyway squeezes the quality.
Yes I watched that at the 4K that YT has and still see alot of artefacts / compression not sure if Insta or YT. But once again, great skating. Good effort outdoor skating on the hockey skates.
RUclips Squeezes the quality of everything. The jump from the X3 to the X4 is the largest improvement I've seen in 360 cameras. Better quality, higher frame rates. They put in a new AI chip which is much more powerful. You'll notice a difference in quality of my videos, trust me.
What are these rollerblades called? I am about to buy some for myself and do like the way they look. Also I would like to ask your opinion about what to buy for the "new one-old one" roller skater) I spend a lot of time when I was young (17-20 YO) and then I stoped. I am 38 now and I am hyped again so much because of your videos! Any tips?)
This dude transitioned from backwards to forwards onto the sidewalk effortlessly. That was crazy watching you skating on the streets with those cars moving. I almost sh1t my pants watching you doing it. The X4 form factor looks like X3. How is the battery life on it?
Great cam (I'm still rocking the ONE X) and video! Mind a quick question? I also have the NEXT PS boot, and I keep hurting in the malleolar area. Just wondering if it is a case of breaking in the insert, as I have about two months of using them.
Hmm, could be you need more supportive liner. I had that issue with the other liners I used. But with a more supportive one, I don't have that issue any more.
Can you please tell me what wheels you are using for the swap? Are they always the same (brand and specs) or do you experiment with different manufacturers?
I export at the highest settings in the app or Insta360 studio, then I export it in 4k plus high bitrate from Premiere Pro to retain as much information as possible. RUclips def compresses the files, but I've found that this mitigates the quality being killed a bit.
Hello! I've been watching your speed skating videos for some time and have one question. I just need an advice from experienced rider. So .. I'm a bike courier in a big city. Usually i ride 30-40 miles per day. My avg speed is about 10-12mp/h. And i want to switch to a roller skates. I'm a experienced cyclist i have many 80-100mil rides behind my back. It's not a problem for me. Also i do running sometimes. 5-8miles per once. Also did a whole marathon once. So what do you think? Would i be able to maintain same speed and mileage on a roller skates? I think it could be even better in a big city... Delivering various stuff. I just need an advice
It's normal too have empty space in the boot basically a little space because you don't want your toes scrunched up when skating this applies to hockey inlines and hockey skates idk qauds do.
Wrong way down one-ways in NYC? And issues with that? Especially those that dead start? …Like they start at a building or garage of something (dead end, if one is going the wrong way.)

Oh wow, I didn't recognize that was Terry B filming. Also I really liked this collab.
I saw Terry at the beginning for a second and was like, that looks like Terry hahahaha
Deff Terry! He's a legend
A sponsor! So dope man, keep it up
Great shots Terry!
Terry is the Goat for a reason
Loved the slow-mo edit. Really nice touch. Video seemed way smoother, too. Great job, as always! Thank you for sharing 🥰🛼
Sick footage as always!
Ok the hockey bit was so cool!!
I like that editing process (I'm guessing it's common for all their cameras?). In any case, great advertisement!
Also, love Cat's car!
Awesome video as always
Thank you! Appreciate the support

Ever heard of the NYC 100k inline marathon? There's no content about that and I want to do it soon. Looks hard/fun
Heck yeah great camera work all around! Can't wait to cruise with y'all soon ❤ ❤
yo the shots from the back of the stick came out so good
Wouldn’t hypothetically be rollerblades with three wheels be better in the city because of the rougher roads

How is the battery life on it?
any issues yet with overheating or short video times?
I haven't had any issues so far, I recorded quite a bit, and it never overheated or stopped recording.
love the videos… such flow.
Can you recommend a decent setup for ~250 USD? I’m a confident skater and would like to explore my city on skates
Incredible work man
YESSSS HOCKEYYYYY
I missed it so much!
After the traffic swerving videos I’m just going to check in everyday to see if you’re still here. (On earth)

hello pal, some advice please.. a rocker set up or flat set up for cruising leisurely -street skating?
Nice stick work!

Can you start putting your boot setup in the description?
Powerslide NEXT with Endless frame 4x90 - I assume ...
Endless Frame 90mm Trinity, maybe LR version.
Excelente vídeo! 👍🏻 🇧🇷
How do you feel about the empty space above the toes on the Next boots? Did you mod your boots to get a tighter toe box?
Dope! 🔥
Are those FR boots with endless frames? 90mm wheels?
Does anyone knows the size of wheels he is using in this? looks like a 110mm
These are 90 mm wheels
Hi can you tell me what kind of skates and wheels are you using in this video i realy like the colors btw awsome video :)
It's normal too have empty space in the boot basically a little space because you don't want your toes scrunched up when skating this applies to hockey inlines and hockey skates idk qauds do.
what brand skates are they both wearing?
Is the main focus 90mm?
Oh...you really do stutter. I was wondering about that.
Haha it's real
May I know what is your current shoe?
Wrong way down one-ways in NYC? And issues with that? Especially those that dead start? …Like they start at a building or garage of something (dead end, if one is going the wrong way.)
What roller blades and wheels do you have
Please write the model of your headgear (helmet).
This is the Bern Major Helmet
Williamsburg....my old stomping grounds....I ran those streets for 40 years.
Ya lefty’s
Hear me out: Gravel Skates
Like gravel bikes? haha
hell yeah dude, not much mud shedding clearance in the frames though
Hey Ari!
If you see this: what type of helmet do you have?
Are you good at everything ?
Can I get one of your older cameras
What old cameras?
@@thestutteringskater your old x3 😅
Love the videos I miss skating in Big cities
Man paid a guy to cycle after him and record him on skates 😅
Dude, can we just hang out just one time?
Road is very rough
