    From watching you shred your cores on your hockey skates on the streets to owning the streets.

    I wish I could be there skating too. 😅

      @lpseem3770 11 месяцев назад

      I am still watching those old, long videos, with the slow narration and a quiet, simple skating (for the most time). I learned a lot from those, like how to maneuver with cars at a busy intersection. Not many people are showing that.

    • @BillStoppard
      @BillStoppard  11 месяцев назад +1

    • @D-Love2947
      @D-Love2947 11 месяцев назад

      @BillStoppard it really has. I picked up skating around 7 years ago watching your videos. My journey hasn't been as exciting, but here I am with a pack of 8-10 year old children learning to slate through me.
      So your knowledge is spreading further than just RUclips friend.

    Actually going to have to get on a plane from the UK and come. Teaching my daughter to blade atm, I was a hardcore 90s skater and now have a fresh pair of Seba's. This is so inspiring almost brings a tear to my eye reminding me of how much community and belonging I used to feel in the skate scene when I was younger. Amazing event.

    Maybe I'll start practicing with my rollerblades and see you guys out there in a couple of months for this years event!

    Great job all of You. I am not a group skate guy and prefer to go as I wish. Yet every time, at a few meeting I have been, I saw something new and fun to do. Particular stop, turn, strides, whatever. Those are eye openers and totally worth of the, I would use the word "challenges", of a group skating.

    Great video. Wish I was there. IDEA: Next time for rewards besides backpacks and wheels give away BEARINGS !! I would say bearings is what I change the most, being on my son's kick-scooter or our longboards... bearings are needed just everywhere. No need to be expensive bearings - could be just boxes of Spitfires ($14.95 at Zumiez) but bearings are just super useful. Because not everyone cleans his own bearings, many just throw the old ones and get new bearings. And no need for ceramic bearings - personally I use only cheap bearings because they are slow and I am rarely skating so I'm still a newbie and like it slower. Also this girl losing her wheel at 17:55 - it is weird she lost a wheel, which tells me her wheels were not tightened, which tells me she never inspected her skates prior riding. Whatever I'm about to ride (kick-scooter or longboard or whatever) it is a general rule to always at least tighten the bolts here and there and we all know that. So another great reward idea is to give away SKATE TOOLs and make few panels showing people basic rules how to maintain their skates, how to tighten the wheels without overtighten and so on and so on. I think you get my idea. And final idea - those marshals of yours - give them each bright lights to wear. I mean not only the stick to show people the way, but also few smaller, maybe flashing lights on their vests, to make them more visible.

FYI i used to rollerblade when I was younger and didn't struggle this much.

    • @kmg2947
      @kmg2947 11 месяцев назад +1

      the biggest piece of advice is get good at balancing when standing. Your going to fall alot in the beginning. Imbrace it. I’m fully blind and crashed alot when i started. Studdy bills videos, and check out skate fresh asha on youtube. focus on stopping as a main point. Don’t be afraid to go slow at first. You can do it. Just keep at it.

    • @stephenklump7615
      @stephenklump7615 11 месяцев назад +2

      Get knee, elbow, wrist pads. Fall on the pads.
      Stay low. The stance should feel about like you're about to do a box jump.
