- Luckily it wasn't a serious injury, but my ankle sprain sidelined me from inline skating for months as I healed. During that time I realized I've never directly said "thank you" to all the amazing support I get on this channel. Believe me, it doesn't go unnoticed and I truly appreciate it all.
A pretty casual session as my first back in the city. Just a celebration of being able to skate again at the same time the weather improves in my part of the world.
Also, a special little treat for @outdoorsports6768 , who was the very first to comment on my very first video. To be clear, I appreciate all the support equally, but he asked about the Rocky statue and I said I'd get some footage!

your videos are really motivating and inspiring. Working on the soul slide because of you!
I love hearing stuff like this, it keeps me motivated! Good luck with the soul slide :)
Me too!!! Soul slide as a way to slow down and even come to a stop, such a great technique.
Dude I'm 50 and still skating I love your passion for skating your style is Smooth and inspiring
Great to have you back on skates! 👊 I fully agree with you: the positivity of the inline skating community is just amazing. Keeps me really motivated.
By the way, those stairs at the beginning looked absolutely awesome. I immediately felt the urge to ride them. 😄
We do have a great niche community as inline skaters. I am not surprised that Tim the Stair Bashing Skater would feel those urges. It would be a great set to bash. It’s kinda hallowed ground though, so I give them a nod of respect and just keep skating haha.
8:02 Ain't that the dang truth. Welcome back! I feel so much better when I get an opportunity to skate even if it's only for 10-15 minutes or so during lunch break. Thanks for showing us the statue that was pretty awesome.
Yeah, just getting to move your body is a great feeling. It’s actually one of the reasons I took a new job that’s fully remote. It makes it way easier to get a session in, especially in the winter.
Thank you man, you show the positivity in inline skating!
Luckily it's a very positive community from what I've seen. Thanks for stopping being here!
Still loving the content, a great video idea would be a skate review/ what you currently skate on. I know it would be helpful for some people on learning what good city skates and wheels are. Thanks again!
Yeah I'm going to do that video. I've been getting more requests for that lately, so stay tuned for a gear breakdown video in the near future!
I have become obssesed with roller skating and I came across this channel really excited to see some more inline Philadelphia skating!
I became obsessed too, that’s why I’m here haha. Cheers and happy skating!
7 weeks is a long time to not be skating, must've felt frustrating! Great you're back out there :)
Very frustrating. In hindsight, at least it was the winter months. And folks in worse climates might have to take the winter off every year. I think half the frustration was specifically because of the reason I couldn't skate. Driving me nuts and I was constantly thinking "will it not heal completely?" But this past week has been pretty good.
It’s crazy that’s it’s not even skating that hurt you
Haha, I wondered if I'd be more or less upset if I hurt myself skating. I like to think it would have been worse if I hadn't been developing strength in that area from all the skating though.
Hello i am from indonesia, i like your content
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
O wow! Thank you so much for your shout out to my channel! This means a lot to me😊! And great to see the that the Rocky statue really exists next to the famous stairs!! Have you ever tried to skate them down?….(please …don’t!)
Congratulations on your over 2000 subscribers. Well deserved!
Of course, you're welcome! Haha, I they would be fun to bash down, but such hallowed stairs may invoke the wrath of the blade gods, lol. Appreciate the support as always :)
Love the videos, keep them coming. Would love to see a video of your skating setup (skates, wheels, frame etc).
Btw how long are you skating? Are those your only skates?
Greetings from Croatia!
Thank you! I've gotten the request a lot recently for breaking down my gear. Yes, these are my only skates, but I've got 3 different frames I've used so far, which I'll do a video about.
I'm not exactly sure how long I've been skating. I started probably when I was maybe 10? But I'm not sure. I just played street roller hockey, but stopped when I was 16. Then I came back again when I was 38 and started this channel.
Patinas muy bien brother... Yo igual soy patinador urbano
Making videos just to spread the positivity is rare these days. Thanks for the effort that goes into your edits, it’s obvious you respect the viewers’ time.
Thanks, I really appreciate it. The supportive inline skating community makes it easy, thankfully. It’s funny I always say I don’t feel “like a RUclipsr” even though I am one by definition. I guess what I mean is my goals are not to be an influencer, or make any money etc. I just like skating and sharing it. Your support, as always, is appreciated.
My 11 year old daughter things it funny that she is is able to Travers more step than me she roles 4x80 and I use 3x100 should I use 4x90 to extend my reach?
Hi I’ve recently found your channel and am really enjoying it. I’m an older beginner skater and find you content really good… thank you
FR1s in this video? Looks like a Velcro 45 strap
I love it i cant wait to document my skating on youtube to show progression im only five months in just getting comfortable skating before i add a camera to the mix your content is what i aim to be able to achieve hopefully have my camera in june
Hey that's awesome, I look forward to it! Good luck with both the progression and documenting it. They're both fun.
you almost doubled your sub count in 2 months! really enjoy your videos and keep up the great work!
Yeah I’m not sure what’s going on, lol. Thanks for the support :)
@@rerollinginline So many bladers I see out and about that they're just getting back in the sport. I'm sure they're all hungry for knowledge and what better place than this platform.
@@edgar1013 totally. I hadn’t skated since 1998. I came back in 2020 to just get some exercise and feel like a kid. I’d only ever played pickup roller hockey and so I was just shooting around at hockey rinks. Then I found Bill Stoppard’s channel and was inspired to leave the hockey rink to try urban skating. Now here I am completely I love with urban/city skating. One of the reasons I started the channel was to try paying forward some of that inspiration I got from Bill. It seems to be working on some level.
Yes, you’re back ! I hope your ankle and cardio are back to 100% ! 💪 Your soul slide is beautiful, 👏mine is just a pale imitation 😅but I don’t despair ! Keep inspiring us ! 1000 THANK YOU ! 👍😉
Thank you so much! Neither are 100% yet, but they’ll get there. I’ve been feeling good this past week. Keep practicing, mine was a pale imitation at one point as well!
@@rerollinginline Thank you for your encouragement ! 👍Wish you to be on top very quickly !!! 💪😉
Grats! Thank you for four videos.
The pleasure is mine, thank you.
Nice one Dude! You’re right, we need more positivity, and more skaters! Rest up and get back at it!
Philly Looks like a cracking city! 👍
Thanks! Luckily I’ve been getting some skate time in the past week or so. I even feel my cardio coming back already. Cheers and keep shredding :)
awesome video i really lovd it! even though i still have trouble stopping properly you keep my hype level high!
Glad to hear it, thanks for letting me know. Keep working on those stops. Practice over time and you'll get it!
@@rerollinginline i definiteley will! ive watched your soul slide tutorial like 100 times over and still trying to get it to work^^
Hey man, I know this video is a year old but it’s a testament to how long they’ll last. I’m just watching your videos so keep it up. More and more are getting into this. Seeing you confidently bomb hills and soul slide got me into fitness and one legged squats and all kinds healthy exercises. I’m getting strong and healthy. I saved the best for last, I’m skating with my 13 year old daughter and it’s incredible to share this together. That helps me be a better father. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your passion and showing what’s possible!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. I truly appreciate it 🙏. Comments like these are honestly what keeps the channel going and this one made my day. I have a 5 year old daughter, so I can imagine how great that must be! She will skate for a few minutes once in a while, but she’s not super into it (yet, lol) but that’s all good. I’m really happy you’ve found something that brings you joy and that I’ve been a part of your journey in a small way. Skating is amazing for both body and soul, so I hope you keep it up! Happy rolling :)
Hi, I am from Germany and watch you videos regulary, like your style and positivity, got back to skating after 20 years of break, I am 43 now and fell in love again with skating, trying now some Wizard tricks with my new 5x80 rockin frame, keep it up.
Hey, we sound fairly similar! I’ll be 40 this year. I wanted to learn more wizard stuff over winter, but the ankle sprain got in the way. I’ll get back that I hope a little later, but for now focusing on free skating. Happy skating!
I am delighted by the landscapes and the places to go around in your city/country !
Also how people respect the bike lane... is simple amazing!, you can go out and skate all the city, that's really pleasant,
thank you man for all the tips and demonstration that you are giving us!
Always is valuable a good experience on the field!
Cheers from Uruguay! 🇺🇾
Continue growing!
Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate them. I get to see the city form a perspective I've never had before and it's a lot of fun.
Oh man. I feel ya. Except I sprained my ankle the first time I took my new inlines to the skating rink. I'm 3 months out. Maybe another couple weeks before I think about skating again. I got the itch bad. I'll be practicing alone where nobody can wreck me. Great content, bro
Plus side, I had my wrist guards on so when I went flying and caught myself I didn't break a wrist or anything🤣🤣
Hii hope you’re healing well. Love your skate sessions. You’re truly an inspiration. Im trying to learn to city skate with confidence. Would love more basic skating tutorials from you. Keep doing what you do!
I appreciate the support, thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the videos. City skating with confidence does take time and practice. I’ve got some more tutorial-style videos planned so stay tuned!
man this is so relatable. you're one one of the few people, that keep me hyped about going out and keep going out.
when i broke my shoulder bone last year in a nasty fall and had to be off skates from october until january, i was completely fucked after 15 minutes of skating, out of breath, lower back in pain, shins burning, the whole package.
just came off a 2 hours city shred. keep on keepin on man.
edit: go get the carbon wizard boot and NR100s. you will not regret it.
Glad to hear you're shredding again. Looks like when you came back, I hurt myself lol. Luckily no broken bone, but I'll be 40 soon and I just don't heal like I used to.
Being tired sucks, but it still feels way better than sitting on a couch. This past week has been basically my first week really back to skating regularly an I'm already getting the fitness back.
The Wizards are on my radar... I think about them often. Those and Adapt Hyperskates are the 2 skates I'm dying to try.
@@rerollinginline look into supplementing collagen. Seems to help me with regeneration and I'd like to believe it also helped the fracture to heal faster 😬
Hi! Welcome back! I’ve been going through all your videos slowly because I was worried I was gonna run out of awesome stuff to watch before you were fully healed. *phew!
I love your channel. You inspired me to buy a pair of inlines. I’m still trying to acclimate to them 😅, but I’m hoping to be exploring my city on them soon. Thank you for creating these videos. They are so much fun to watch. Also loved the intro to this one. Nice to see you for a little chat ☺️ Be safe out there, Dude!
Such kind words, thank you. I’m thrilled to have anything to do with your inline experience, it’s incredibly motivating! Put in the practice and things will start falling into place. Celebrate every little step of your progression. You’ll look back soon and see how far you’ve come. You be safe as well, thanks.
No epic fakie stair bash down the museum steps?! Booo!! Just kidding. 😜 That stretch along the river is gorgeous skating.
Yeah such a hallowed set of stairs may invoke the wrath the blade gods... or the Philly gods... I'll probably leave 'em alone, haha. Yeah that stretch along the river really is nice. I was there at a very crowded time this session.
good to have you back! You look so much different without a helmet! (like no one ever told you that one before :) )
Thank you for all the smooth rides, they're a true pleasure to watch!
You also encouraged me to try using Soul in real life situations, not just in a "smooth indoor concrete" scenario. I've been failing miserably, not yet quit trying because of you! All the best from Poland, hope to visit Philly one day
Thanks so much for the kind words. Haha, I’m quite a soul slide enthusiast, so I hope it helps for you as well! I don’t think everyone must use it, but I obviously do it a lot and wanted to share why. It might just take a certain level of mastery before you’re comfortable using it in real life scenarios. Best of luck and happy skating :)
Man, you are an inspiration indeed. It's been amazing watching your skills level up and your channel grow!
I too am waiting on this SE PA weather to get right and be warm already. Great to hear you're healing up. Keep on keepin on!
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the support. This channel has turned out to be bigger, more fun and more engaging than I was expecting.
Yeah this “spring” weather has been all over the place this year. Hopefully within a couple weeks it’ll normalize. Happy skating :)
Hey bro your latest update video led me to this video. In 5 months your channel has grown considerably. Keep up the great work and have a speedy recovery. Since I picked skating back up 6 months I've had a few bumps and bruises but nothing too bad that has kept me off my inlines Looking forward to more of your content. How about doing some videos on accessories maintenance and other skating equipment. I recently found a very bright bicycle tail lamp on a path and I now carry it with me on my sessions. You'd be surprised when cars see that light blinking they are more aware of me and tend to give me the right of way more so than without it. Best of luck.
Yeah the growth has been considerably surprising. Not what I expected at all from this channel. But seeing people enjoy the videos and give me positive feedback is what fuels it, so I appreciate it. A video on general maintenance and accessories is not a bad idea, I’d thought about it before!
Thank you YT algos for introducing me to your site. Easy sub. Glad to hear you're recovering well. Could have been a lot worse. Wife broke her foot years ago slipping on ice.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it. Yes I know it could have been much worse so I’m grateful to be back. I hope your wife’s foot healed up well! Happy skating :)
Bro, honestly, your video are the best in RUclips for flow skating it is so good to watch. Keep going and hopefully more often :D we miss it. Thanks
Thank you so much for the kind words, they’re very encouraging! I hope to get more videos up this summer. The ankle sprain set me back and now I’m getting over being sick :( But I’m finishing editing a new flow video right now that should be up in a day or two, so stay tuned! Thanks for your support.
I remember when I picked skating back up back in March after a few year hiatus, blading up the hill back to my house was so hard I was falling down toward the top. Now I can climb it and keep rolling no problem.
Nothing like getting back in shape and skating is the best I can think of to do it!
Thank you for the time you put in! We appreciate you! Good to see you back on wheels!
Really appreciate it, and all the words of encouragement along the way. It's good to be back to on my skates.
Love your videos! Been online skating 2weeks now - your vids are so cool and inspirational- glad you are back to skating!
Amazing, welcome to the inline skating community! Glad you like the videos :)
Great to see you back rolling again!
Thanks a bunch, it feels good to be back. I was feeling like a slug, lol.
People of Portland, OR sometimes see a big goofy guy on skates grinning and trying to soul slide cause of this channel
Haha, I love it! Always put a little soul into your skating :) The support is much appreciated, thank you.
I found your channel I must say i love your style of skating it motivates me to get better. Also how often do you rotate your wheels?
Thanks so much. Comments like these motivate me as well! I rotate every 1-2 sessions. I do a lot of sliding to stop and slow down so I usually see uneven wear after a session or two.
One more, from Brazil ! lol !!! Thank U for your video!
Thanks for stopping by! 🇧🇷 ❤️
Where is your safety equipment? Tsk, tsk
Yeah, I’ve had them off the past few sessions.
always a joy to see you skate
Really appreciate the comment, thank you. The pleasure is mine.
I'm glad you're doing better!
Much appreciated, thank you!
start watching your channel 2 months ago, from the tutorial of soul slide and start training this skill accordingly, I greatly appreciate it as well as your content. unfortunately i sprain my ankle as well a month ago, i hope i can recover soon and back to skating and other sports
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! I know how frustrating it can be to forced out of physical activities, but just make sure you’re healed up before you resume. Sending healing thoughts for a speedy recovery.
@@rerollinginline thank you. I can't wait to skate again! I quit skating after i have learned for a year ( 13 yrs old) and quit it until 19 and quit it a year later. I am 34 now and it is shameful that my body wasn't as tough as before when i decide not to quit it so easily. I hope all of us skaters are injury free and enjoy this sport as much as we can
Welcome back, handsome! ❤
Thanks, it’s good to be back on my skates!
cheers from Brazil =]
Thanks for watching, cheers!
That adorable bulldawg tho
He was a cutie!
Really nice to see you again
Thanks, it's great to be back.
Jus subbed ur very skilled
Thanks so much 🙏
You're awesome dude! Thanks for making and uploading these videos. I know it takes a lot of work, but you are making a huge difference, at least for me. I also love the inline skating community's positivity.
Really appreciate the support and kind words, thank you! These comments are what keeps me wanting to upload more videos. Happy skating :)
Looking good Jim!
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it :)
Awesome ☺️,I am one your thankful viewers and fellow skater 🤛
Definitely much more crowded,thanks for the tour.
Yes, I'm thankful for all the times you've had nice things to say :) I cut out a lot of video, but I mentioned in the beginning the intent of the skate was just to roll for a while, and keep the intensity low. Especially because it was late afternoon on a nice spring day. Way more crowded then I prefer, but it helped me keep the session mellow.
@@rerollinginline you have metrics of your average speed and distance?
@@WheelyArt No. I wore my Garmin watch when I started, around the time of starting this channel, but I don’t anymore. I wore it in the beginning because I was getting back into shape and curious about calories etc. Once I got into shape, I stopped. At that time, my suburban skate sessions averaged like 9-10mph. I’ve never really skated for distance, so that was similar to my city skating style, just not in the actual city. Maybe I should pull out the watch sometime and see.
