      @Braŭljo how does wearing a helmet indicate you date same sex partners? You know what's dumb? Using someone's sexuality as a pejorative. Up your vocab game son, it's easy to do if you don't have brain damage from repeated concussions.

      "I don't Iant anyone thinking I'm a bigot"
      Well, calling random things "gay" is one of the best ways to make people know you're a bigot, so I'd try not to say that kind of stuff, or just shut the fuck up 😉

    Agreed, Shaun is amazing. He is one of my best friends and we spent many years in Calgary blading together. I remember when I got Shaun his first job teaching skating with Alien Inline, I knew he would excel at it right away...and look what he's done! I live in Vancouver now and so do a lot of our other blade brothers. If you want to see regular edits from the West Coast of Canada check out my channel. Many of my videos feature Leon and the rest of the shop task family. Have a look and Namaste!

  • @Johro66
    @Johro66 5 лет назад +1

    Yup I totally agree.
    Also, Shaun has watched my own (small) channel videos and given me valuable feedback, in comments.
    I love that. From someone like him, such a huge figure in skating, to be so supportive to someone like me just starting out.
    I should also mention yourself, Bill, and Ricardo Lino, Tiago, as people who are hugely supportive to the skating community.
    Leon too, who's given me advice in emails, as to what skates would suit me, after actually watching me skate in my videos.
    As well as the other skaters I'm subscribed to.
    I learn from all of them.
    The skating community generally is pretty fkn awesome.
    I did skate a little as a kid, on quad rollers, but inline skating is relatively new to me, I've been inline skating for almost two years. So while I don't have the experience from youth that Shaun does, his input is invaluable, and inspiring, not just as a skater, but as a person.
    His tutorial videos, impressive breakdowns, and amazing flows just make you want to get out and skate.
    Yours, Bill, was the first channel I subscribed to, everything else flowed from there. I would put you in the same category of inspiration and learning. And fun!
    Happy rolling! For many years to come.

    Right on. He'd be a rare gem if he had either the skating prowess or the all-pervading loving-kindness, but he's got both. Super amazing person and everything he does inspires me. And Bill, I have to give you the credit for flipping the skating switch for me in the first place. When I pulled out my old rollerblades 2 years ago, I realized I would need to learn to stop. Found your tutorials, but more than that I found someone who showed me why I needed to skate in the first place. "The City Is A River" was part of that awakening. Thanks Bill!
