Flying Through A Sleeping City - Inline Skating City Flow Skate

- Опубликовано: 31 янв 2022
- It was like I had the whole city to myself in this inline skating session. Long lines, high speeds and beautiful winter weather. Not only was this one of my favorite recent sessions, it was an unexpected one. I was away for the weekend and decided to bring my skates after looking at the map of the area. I'd never been to this city before, let alone skated through it. On Sunday morning I got out around 8:00 AM and it felt like the whole town was asleep. Absolute bliss on wheels.

how wonderful to be able to explore a new city on skates
The exploration is such a great aspect of skating urban environments that I didn't see coming when I started skating cities. It's awesome! I go places on skates I wouldn't just walking around or otherwise even touring a town.
Im ops director at a hockey focused ice rink.
I grew up on in-line. My sons invite to a birthday party at the roller rinkni grew up in got me here.
Thank you so much for uploading this kind of stuff!! Almost no one has just plain skating videos thats aren’t heavily cut and edited! Its very relaxing and i cant wait to get some skates this summer! Keep it up and stay safe 😁
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I appreciate it! Will those be your first skates?
@@rerollinginline yes!! I loove going to the roller rink (i think thats what its called) but i hardly ever go. Sooo i wanted to get some of my own for the summer! When did you start skating and what got you into it?
@@SlimmyJimmySonjan I started city/urban skating a little over a year ago, basically when I started this channel. That was after 22 years of no skating of any kind. All my experience prior to that came from pickup roller street hockey, which I stopped doing around 16 years old. Then, at 38 I dusted off my hockey skates and starting shooting around by myself for exercise and fun. Then I found Bill Stoppard's channel, decided to leave the rink and try city skating and now here I am and I've loved every minute of it :)
What a sweet road u have there 😭 with out cars and a lot of people and holes I enjoy it so much thank you 😋✌🏻
Yeah, this was a real treat away from home!
Dude these edits are sweet! I really dig the music too! Make me look forward to skating again
Thanks! I always appreciate when people like the music. I don't like the royalty free music and I know that selecting music I won't match everyone's tastes.
@@rerollinginlineI'm in the philly area. I'm a little older than you, but i think you'd be able to keep up if you want to skate some time 👍
Love your content man, I've seen all your videos and use them to inspire me to skate as well. Thanks!
I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know that! That's awesome to hear. Happy skating :)
Binging your videos brother. Great content! I’m psyched for the 2023 season!
Thanks, I am too! Hopefully I’ll get some good sessions in this spring and summer.
Thanks it was beautiful
Thank you very much!
Podecre essa foi 👍 All my respect
Totally looks like dude is passing an invisible baton back & forth to himself 😂
Very nice and chill!
Yes, a chill skate on a chilly day.
I loved this 😊
I’m glad you did :) I appreciate the comment.
You’ve got amazing skillzzzz! Like that you added narration to your videos. Kinda reminded me of Bill Stoppard’s videos. Keep them coming! These videos make me feel happier! Thank you man!
Truly appreciate that, thank you! Bill Stoppard is basically why I'm here. I'd only played pickup roller hockey as a kid and a little over a year ago threw the skates back on for some exercise. Then I found Bill's channel, left the rink, started urban/city skating and now I have a RUclips channel, lol. Bill's a beast!
Wow,nice location and route😍 thanks for sharing again,much appreciated
The pleasure is all mine :) Thanks for watching, as always.
Thanks for the vid, also loved having a bit of context about the why/where/when of the session!
Thanks for watching and the comment. Yes, this narrative intro in the beginning is a first for my videos (not sure how many you've seen) and I think I like it.
pure class!
Much appreciated, thank you :)
Gotta love Lancaster!! Awesome skate!!
It really was a beautiful skate. Streets were in pretty good shape and it was a nice quiet Sunday morning. Thanks for watching :)
perfect timing to skate! looked so good
It really was. As I was editing this one I kept saying to myself "Man. This was such a pleasant and peaceful session" I didn't realize when I started making videos that I'd actually watch them myself. They honestly take me back to the session when I do and it's a good feeling.
@@rerollinginline enjoy it dude 👍🏽
Solid, Dude! 👌
Always appreciate the support, thanks!
Vídeo ótimo, acompanho você direto aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Obrigado pelo apoio!
👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷 mais 1 parabéns
Muito obrigado
Super chill. Inspiring! It's a cool way to see places through the 360 cam. Normally I find myself watching edited skating videos with multiple angles and all that but there is something nice about these long shot ones. Certainly simplifies the editing process eh which frees up more time to do other things. Still gotta get that 360 cam! I would have to head downtown more cause I think shots of my little town might get old heh. Dig the music and the whole vibe!
Yeah I find the 360 cam ends up capturing the movement well. Certainly not for everyone, but I watch plenty of other videos that are shot the same way. Finding Bill Stoppard's channel is literally when I decided to leave the hockey rink and try urban skating a year ago. And I'm completely new to making any kind of videos. This is certainly the easiest way to film myself and yeah the 360 completely eliminates even needing to be "in frame". I'd like to venture into more cinematic stuff, but I just haven't acquired those skills or the equipment to do that stuff yet.
I'd say you have the skills already! Don't sell yourself short. Do what feels good though and what you find fun.
Amazing. Few close calls made it somehow even more interesting (not that I encourage making it on purpose, but it shows you’re pushing close to your limits sometimes - pushing to the edge obviously increases your skills as well, so I guess it’s good)
The close calls in this video are by far the most common for me: when a crack grabs hold of my wheels. It's why one-footed stability and control are so important. I'm able to save myself because if one skate is behaving badly, hopefully the other one is taking over!
Hi ! Nice videos, keep'em coming ! May I ask which protections you use? As in which brand and model are they? I'm looking for some new protections as mine aren't all that comfortable and am trying to gather some data as I don't like rolling without them because I feel it hinders my evolution as I'm not so willing to try new things... cheers
Thanks, I appreciate it! Links to my gear below. One thing I'll say is that I'm not crazy about the knee pads. They're not great quality materials and I've had them slip down during falls in which I still get some road rash. I wear them because they're very slim, so it's just a risk I take knowing they're not the best at protection. That being said, they've definitely helped in falls, but you could do better if protection is the most important.

Really cool! If you are cruising with such a speed through a totally new city, how do you know where to go? Aren't you worried you'll reach a dead end or an unexpected obstacle?
Its all part of the exploring he seems very confident in his stops so once your at that level its less of a worrie
I love being places I've never been. I did not expect it when I started urban skating, but the exploration aspect of it is a large part of the fun. It's great to just see where the flow takes you as you meander around aimlessly. If you're talking about physical dead ends or obstacles, that's why I've been honing my stopping skills and awareness for months. I didn't even start dong much urban skating until I could stop confidently. What you can't see in the videos is actually how careful I am being. I'm not reckless, even if I'm going very fast. Notice my head and eyes as I skate, they're constantly assessing the situation so that I feel as safe as I can.
All that being said... this particular city was not a major city (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) like the one I'm usually in (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) and it was really quiet with hardly any traffic or pedestrians that morning, so despite the high speeds, it was a very zen-like session.
Thanks for watching :)
I just started skating and exploring my own town. And even there i discover new roads that sometimes lead me a bit to far out of direction... Being tired and having to do a detour or going back is my biggest struggle haha. Not that fit yet 😅
Just bought a set of blades off amazon for around 100 bucks and cant wait to get out and skate. After the snow melts😭
Awesome, are they your first skates? I know the feeling with the weather. It hasn't been as bad as usual for me, but last time it snowed a few weeks ago I sprained my ankle in my driveway on ice :(
@@rerollinginline ya they are my first set. ouch that sound painful.
There is more smooth tarmac in that city than in my entire country 😭
That’s a bummer, what country? I’ve realized how fortunate I am to have a lot of areas I can skate where I live.
@@rerollinginline Scotland - we have some truly stunning scenery, but our road surfaces just aren't skate friendly 😢 I wonder whether the coarseness of road materials depends somewhat on a country's climate.
@@CJDavies Ah yes, I've seen that beauty in the videos on Rich Hayter Skater's channel (check him out if you haven't already!) I'm sure several factors affect it. You don't see much cobblestone in the US because it's a much younger country than most, for example. I'm actually surprised at the road conditions in Philadelphia considering it's one of the oldest cities in the US. I guess it also comes down to local municipalities and how often they update roads, as well as exactly how the construction is done and what materials are used.
I hope you're still able to get out and enjoy the Scottish scenery on your skates.
Sick flow as always! Love the added narration too, you're a natural.
It's been a while since you've been on the 4x100s set up. Is this your sweet spot in terms of set up? Would like to see you fly on the 3x110s and hear your thoughts comparing the diff set ups you've skated on!
I think I'm still experimenting to see what I like best. Ultimately, I think it comes down to what you want to do on your skates in a particular session. What I really need is more boots so I can have multiple setups without changing frames. This was recorded in December. I've spaced out my uploads in winter simply because I don't get as many opportunities to capture good footage because of weather. My skates right now have the 5x80 NN Dragon frames. I've got a couple flow skates in those recorded that will be uploaded later.
I'd like to try some tri-skates as well. I just haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger. My Endless frames have a 3x110 wheel configuration, but it's a much longer wheelbase than would be on a traditional 3x110 setup and so I haven't tried it. That setup is also flat, and I feel like I can't live without my rocker, lol.
I do intend on doing a "here's the setups I've tried and what I like/dislike about them all" video in the future. Maybe this spring or summer after I've had even more time on them.
I appreciate the support! Thanks for letting me know about the narration. I think I like it as well.
@@rerollinginline Be sure to give the 3x110 setup a try! It’s a cruising monster…super fast and stable and excellent on the open road or trails. Start with the 3x110 on the Endless 90 if you are fearful of tackling the longer wheelbase of the Endless 100. I’m in a size 40 FR1 shell and find the 276 mm wheelbase fairly easy to maneuver. It’s all about pushing through your heels when carving. Have fun!
@@endlessblading I've been meaning to try out the 3x110 configuration, so maybe this summer! I'm not fearful of the wheelbase, I'm just usually city skating and prefer the 4 wheel rocker. I prefer a rocker in general vs flat. Love the frames by the way, keep up the good work! I tell everyone you can't go wrong with either of the ones I have (90 and 100). They're both awesome for shredding the city. If Endless hooked up with Adapt and made some rockered 4x90 and 4x100 Quattro frames, I'd be in heaven, lol. Thanks for stopping by and happy skating :)
@@rerollinginline Thanks for the kind words! And all the great content! I’ll be watching for that video where you do some 3x110 cruising. :) I went for a skate yesterday on a new prototype and was reminded how much more power you get from each stride on the flat setup. It’s crazy how much faster you can go. So fun!!
Could you give some comments regarding the stability of the Endless 4x100? Just for those who don’t have experience with them yet. :)
To me, they're very stable and I personally feel safe on them. It's worth mentioning that my feet are 265mm long and these frames have a wheelbase of 303mm so they're a good bit longer than my foot. Even my Endless 90 have a wheelbase of 276mm, which is also longer than my foot. I felt stable on my 90s and even more stable on my 100s. The experience may be different for people with larger or smaller feet.
I regularly go down hills backwards for example in them. In terms of higher speeds, I like a good hill bomb, but I don't do anything crazy and I'm not a "downhill skater", but I've never gotten any speed wobbles on them. Again, I probably don't exceed more than ~25mph during my sessions. I like city skating so pure top speed isn't necessarily my goal. As far as general skating or wizard moves etc they're also very stable.
As far as the rocker vs being flat, it's hard for me to tell because I can't stand a flat setup and so my baseline for stability is rockered. I also rotate the wheels to keep the rocker as close to the "intended rocker" of the frame as possible instead of letting the rocker become more pronounced as I wear in the wheels.
Nice riding, do you keep track of how many miles do you skate?
I used to, when I was just getting back into it. Mostly to track heart rate and calories as I got back into shape and lost weight. Once I was in a groove, I stopped wearing the Garmin watch I was using to track it.
@@rerollinginline nice! Same I'm starting to get back into it too and use garmin watch. Do u think skating really helps with losing weight and help get back into shape?
@@ny_toto Absolutely. Skating is an amazing cardio, core and lower body workout. Adding skating 5 days per week was the only change I made to my routine and I got in great cardio shape and lost weight. It’s like anything else - you’ll get what you put into it. If you’re just casually cruising and not really getting the heart rate up, you won’t get much out of it. But if you push yourself and focus on getting a workout, it’s there to get. Of course diet plays a role in weight loss as well as other factors. But yes, skating can get you very fit. Finding skating was the best thing to happen to my body in a long time. It’s exercise I love getting. It’s never a chore. And unless you’re doing a lot of jumping etc, it’s very low impact. Also the mental health benefits have been amazing too. It’s just a very healthy activity. Good luck getting back into it!
@@rerollinginline awesome thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it. I'm not in the jumping stage, but just riding for fun and def going to try to push harder. I really love inline skating and really gives motivation when I see you blading. You're videos are really great thanks for responding back😀
How do u get your vids to look so crisp? What are your export settings?
I use Insta360 Studio on my Mac laptop. I export my reframed 360 videos and then import them into iMovie to make the final edit, add music etc. If I need more than iMovie can do (which is seldom) I'll use Adobe Premiere.
As for exporting from Insta360 studio, I put the bitrate up as far as it'll go (200Mbps), keep everything else as default and check the 'Remove Grain' box. There used to be another checkbox for colors in Studio 2021, but in 2022 looks like that option is gone. So settings are:
Bitrate: 200 (this might be most important)
Resolution :1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Encoding Format: H.264
Export Type: Video
I'm still a noob with all of this, btw.
@@rerollinginline Dude, thank you so much!!
The last couple times i tried exporting everything in 4k, but they came out pixel-y. Your footage looks really good, so I think I'll just follow your settings lol. Thanks again!
This place is so beautiful where's it ?
Lancaster Pennsylvania, US. It’s the only time I’ve skated there.
@@rerollinginline thx buddy!
Is it me or every place you skate is almost all downhills :D
Haha, it's definitely a mix. Philadelphia, where I do my city skating is relatively flat. I do like going fast of course and I seek out whatever hills I can for that aspect of my sessions. But I do plenty of skating back up these slopes as well. I could start filming myself going uphill, but something tells me it won't be as interesting to watch :)
I appreciate you watching and commenting, happy skating!
How the hell did you make´em all sleep? Putting sleeping pills in the waterfiltration system is ILLEGAL!!
Haha, I love getting out when I can the streets mostly to myself.
@@rerollinginline you know I enjoy skating around, but the side walks here are so bad, incredible. As a pedestrian you don´t notice the uneven surfaces or cracks, but as a skater I feel like going trough the jungle. Especially those tiny little stones that get caught between the wheels. It is a challenge, but somedays I wish I had flat smooth pavement to skate on just like the roads in your excellent video.
