This was so much fun to watch! I can't even imagine how much fun this ride was! Kudos for the almost anonymous camera man who had to keep up with these two! I'm always baffled by his fast fakie riding in the most complex situations!
Respect for the cameraman worrying about pointing the camera in the right direction all the time and phisically transporting it through the crazy streets of NY!! // while trying to have fun and not get killed LOL
What "government" are you talking about? It's New York City. Controlled anarchy. Nobody cares what you do unless you kill somebody or commit some other egregiously illegal act. It ain't sanctimonious MAGAworld with its deep state conspiracy🐂💩, phony moral judgments and space laser theories. When Marjorie Taylor Greene visited they ran her out of there real fast 😰
All three skaters really delivered! Bold but not stupid or reckless. Some real pro-level stuff! And that trek! Such good wholesome fun… both the skate And the banter. 😉 Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! 🤙🏼
Cameraman did incredible! Keeping up with them in NYC traffic is an amazing achievement by itself, but to get those shots staying upright is wild. Great skating, great camera work, super edit!
As a London skater I've always wanted to skate in Barcelona but this just makes me want to skate in New York! I'm not sure if I could keep up with you Christian but I'd definitely not want to try on race skates, hat off to Angelia for trying. You are an awesome skater dude. I really enjoyed the Chasing Strangers video. Used to be mad like that on quads in the 80's and 90's holding on to buses and stuff but survived into my mid fifties. I'm not sure you could do that stuff in London with narrow roads, pot holes and mopeds everywhere. My other favourite skater is Nicola Torrelli.
Such an amazing flow. Ari, you are a great inspiration to a lot of street skaters like me. Shout out to the Camera man. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Watching from Nairobi, Kenya.
Shout out eh, Big I am, from Nairobi, the female skater was equally amazing. Bladding behind some one else when you can't see the road surface ahead is even more challenging than any fancy jumps. Even more respect to Angelia who showed amazing skill, nipping in and out between vehicles she could not see ahead for flipping into an opening when it was blocked just as Ari had been through it. Peter, London
Such a wholesome video! Thoroughly enjoyed viewing the ride through the city! Showing the better sides of NYC lifestyle! Everyone needs to get outside more!
Enjoyed watching this very much! Thanks, and mad props to all involved. I was not too bad on a bike at that age, but I've never seen anyone weave through NY traffic like that guy. Takes a very good, fast eye, split second timing and absolute fearlessness. Loved how he runs about 100 red lights and then berates a driver for running one - the cheel of it! Amazing how the young woman kept up - I'm sure she is very athletic in her own right, but that kind of skating takes some getting used to (and a degree of madness :-))!
This video was absolutely incredible. Watching all 3 of you just glide through city was such ease was so hypnotizing it was therapeutic. The chemistry between you guys had put a smile on my face the entire 20 minutes and 18 seconds. Thank you so much for putting this together! It made my night
Man, I have spend hours on youtube daily since the site launched. Never seen Street Sketers videos before. Even efter like seventeen years of this platfom, there are still new magical videos to be found. Thank you! :D
holy shit the steady cam framing just stays good, what an amazing camera operator! Couple times I thought they were gonna get squished and they eked by, I held my breath lol
The video, the people, the music, the skating, it's all so good! I've been binging your shorts and have officially subbed and I'm not disappointed by the first recommended video.
I FEEL ANGELIA'S PAIN. I put those same speed skates she has on, in my attic, they were so painful when I tried them a few months before the COVID pandemic, and now opted for a three wheel 110mm sized wheels which feel so much better and lighter. But watching this video, in preparation for this year's 2023 Big Apple Roll (I think she was in last year's video) she has now motivated to bring them out of my attic and try them on the bike trailways. But NEVER in the streets of NYC. They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO brave wheeling by traffic, which I can do, but over manhole covers, broken pavement and debris is insanely courageous, and especially at the speeds they were skating. I can seem to brake the way she does. Thanks for sharing this video cause it is a masterclass in urban skating.
The way Angelia skates, it's a bit sketchy going over the rough stuff, but the way Ari skate's it's totally fine. One skate in front of the other and your front leg braced makes it so you roll basically anything. You don't rely on the front-back stability of your skate, you rely on the front-back stability of your two legs.
NOTHING is worse than taking a “breather” in inline speed skates. YES they are molded specifically to your feet, but holy crap, carbon fiber hurts!! I had Bont Apaches molded to my feet, and they were so uncomfortable after an hour of skating. Freestyle/street skaters have the comfort to cruise for miles. I wish more companies would invest in a mid grade price, calf height, 110mm wheel base hill bobbing set up. This video is so awesome to see! Also a second thought, I wish speed skating/any skating in general would be as hyped up as BMX or skateboarding. The US hasn’t brought up skating since the 90’s but yet in other countries it’s praised. We need more of this!
In most places in Europe it's unfortunately not legal. Fortunately there are typically more cycle lanes. That said cycle lanes with skates are bit boring as it's narrow strip often not even enough space to stride comfortable and on top you need to keep watching behind your back when cyclists are coming to let them pass you.
In Australia it's only legal on 50km/h or lower streets where there's no lane markings and no median strip (in other words, it's legal on typical suburban streets).
You wouldn't be annoyed by skaters like this? I imagine as an NYC driver of any kind you just have to go with the flow to not go insane, but even so, some of their lines through traffic were a bit sketchy
We do a skating unit in our gym class and it’s my favorite, my mom said that we can’t skate on pavement or concrete, I sent her this video and I might be getting rollerblades soon!!! Great video! I’ve learned a lot from these videos so I should really be saying… Thanks for helping me prove that I can skate on the sidewalk :D
What a brave young lady for tackling this in speed skates. I haven't skated NYC since the 90's. I'd love to come back one day...but I'll be wearing 3 or 4 wheels...not 5 or speed skates. OMG
Totally brings back my memories of being an inline speedskater and street skater in NYC in the 90s. I went to college in midtown, and remember then hell of skating uptown to Central Park for 10km laps. For street, we were all over the city, and whenever cops or security would chase us out of a spot, I was always the fastest to get away
I used to dream of this as a kid. I was pretty good on ice skates but never really felt comfortable on blades. Kudos to you two. This time without endangering pedestrians.🎉
Wow i just watched the whole thing and this was just a random video i clicked on probably because i used to do rollerblading as a 90's kid and seeing the two of you go at it is really impressive. Cameraman 10/10. Such a cool video. Edit: I watched this a second time. Sooooo good. Music on point. City is very pretty once you just take a moment to just forget about everything and just take it all in. The leg work is really something i really enjoyed seeing. 😎👍
i used to speed skate - the larger wheels take more energy to get up to speed and you have less control but you roll further in one rotation of the wheel, so once you're at speed you go further for less energy than you do with smaller wheels. i think for street skating in traffic the smaller wheels will always win, coz you're weaving in and out of traffic and coming to sudden stops.
I'm a skateboarder but I get how fun it is to just push as fast as possible and get it. She did pretty good being completely out of her element. It would be like throwing a slalom skateboarder in the street.
Since I have two lefts legs knees ankles and horrible Coordination 😅😂😂😂 this is so cool to watch I feel like it’s me getting all that air in the city and feeling free while doing it ❤❤
You could also be The Mimicking Skater the way you copied the speed skater and skate boarder lol! Love your vids man! They give me so much nostalgia from being born and raised in NYC and all the skating I did there! Keep Rolling!🤘😎
damn, I would love to be able to skate backwards with that much confident as that street skater. It looks so smooth and controlled. Skating backwards still feel so stiff and awkward to me..
as a fellow street skater of 20 years I cant express how fit these two are, constantly having explosive energy to dodge and accelerate around cars is tough.
you make it so easy when you skate so gracefully. Just curious but do you also experience fatigue when skating? Like when you pass through a not so smooth pavement and there's the frequent vibrations going through your feet that feels a bit painful?
What a fun fucking day! I'm just starting roller skating and this was such a joy to watch. I know I could never do anything like this on RR, but HOW FUN TO WATCH!!
Every Tuesday evening about 20-30 of us met at the skate shop on the upper west side to go ‘night’ skating, all over Manhattan. Every evening the speed skaters would gather inside Central Park waiting for 7 o’clock and the loop to close to traffic. We would train all evening, preparing for the speed skating marathons in the fall. Proud to have won in my age division. It’s too bad it’s no longer held in Central Park. This was all back in the early ‘90s. We used short track or long track ice speed skates from holland with 5 wheels, and yes, painful 😂 Glad to see there’s still people participating in that sport. Miss it.
I did/do both; I ice raced as a kid and into my teens. I have always bladed and I have taken up ice skating again. I had a custom pair of inlines for off the ice training in 1987. So good for you.
Cameraman is so good! Amazing work!
Thank you for the compliment
Yeah, kudos for keeping up whilst framing a steady cam!
@@clope24 what do you use for filming this ?
@@t0tchiwaveswe used a Canon R6 with a Sigma 20mm on a DJI gimbal for this.

watching her skate looks so smooth and elegant and his effortless agility and coordination is amazing x
dont u want to do it ?

360 camera i assume?
@@JohnTyree 9:32
Nope.
Dude's a wizard. I can either skate or film. If I tried to do both even halfway as good as the camera person, I'd absolutely eat tarmac
its so amazing to see how she trusts him and even when he says "i thought im gonna die" ... he still had her in mind ....
I thought the camera man was going to eat it at one point but he did fantastic. Great job by everyone.
Your content feels real organic, like nothing feels staged or hyped up. I like it, its a nice breather from over the top content we see now a days.
the cameraman has plot armor. that was hella smooth recording. props!
the government doesn't want you to know that rollerblading is the best way to get around the city.
Pretty much anything but a car.
how does rollerblading compare with skating or scootering or biking does anyone know how they all fare against each other?
I would say biking is, with blading a close second.
@@HotFiya05 there are certain holes of traffic that are harder with a bike tho, it's just too long

All three skaters really delivered! Bold but not stupid or reckless. Some real pro-level stuff!
And that trek! Such good wholesome fun… both the skate And the banter. 😉
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! 🤙🏼
This guy is a legend! The reason why I bought my first skates and try to learn a bit more everyday. Incredible skills
Cameraman did incredible! Keeping up with them in NYC traffic is an amazing achievement by itself, but to get those shots staying upright is wild. Great skating, great camera work, super edit!
This is beyond wholesome. Definitely comforting to watch!
Christian "the cameraman", way to go!
Thanks, all of you guys.
Relaxation for my eyes. 😍❤️

Watching from Nairobi, Kenya.
Hopefully, you'll be stoppingover to the states, someday soon, to enjoy these streets?!
Wakilisha kanairo mkuu✌️
Shout out eh, Big I am, from Nairobi, the female skater was equally amazing. Bladding behind some one else when you can't see the road surface ahead is even more challenging than any fancy jumps.

Cameraman is a champion. This video should have 1mil already.
"It's, I like to have fun, kind of skates." Best description of a style o skates ever.
The two of you are cute together and fun to watch. Thanks for the heartwarming vid with sweet skating.
This was so good Ari! Great production value, huge props to Christian! 🙂 Also I loved the subtle dig at the end "most of ya'll" 😂
This guys fitness level is unreal, amazing to watch. She also did amazing for not being used to skating on the streets, great stuff!
I didn’t intend to watch the entire video, but got caught up in the sheer joy of it. Well done!
That little scissor kick over the posts 🤩🤩 and your ability to ride backwards is incredible!
Camera guy for MVP

What a fabulous upload! Love the comparison in styles between speed skating and stuttering skating! Well done to the camera man too
I love that comparison too. How clean and precise Angelia's strides are and how Ari is always in control!

Things that impress me:
The cameraman
The way she skates that flat big wheel setup like it's a wizard setup. Like how?

Never noticed he has a slight stutter. Guess it is in his TH-cam name lmao. You handle it very well.

The NYC Skate community is solid and fun, Tuesday Night skate Wednesday Night skate veteran. Haven been since 2005.
damn, I would love to be able to skate backwards with that much confident as that street skater. It looks so smooth and controlled. Skating backwards still feel so stiff and awkward to me..
Awesome video, nice clearing those gaps. Cool to see the difference in footwork between you two.
was waiting for a door to clip them... ouch
as a fellow street skater of 20 years I cant express how fit these two are, constantly having explosive energy to dodge and accelerate around cars is tough.
This is how street skater finds a mating partner in the wild.
you make it so easy when you skate so gracefully. Just curious but do you also experience fatigue when skating? Like when you pass through a not so smooth pavement and there's the frequent vibrations going through your feet that feels a bit painful?
The fact that the cameraman is also skating, is CRAZY, such steady hands
Damn that camera work! Cheers the whole team!
Brother tryna monetize his dates 😂
your videos are literally making me pick up my rollerblades again (wish i can get good enough to go on the street eventually)
That looked like so much fun! Thank you for sharing.
That looks like so much fun! I would love to do that. Next time I visit NYC, I'm bringing my skates.
The running red lights and weaving in-between cars gives me agita 😂 but cool for them.
The running red lights is stupid. They're both going to end up dead if they keep doing that. I have no respect for that and nobody else should either
Nice video ! As a speed skater and street skater myself I enjoyed watching it. It's true that usually speed skaters are lost on open roads
Ohmygosh this is nutts!!! I love it!😂 My heart rate was getting intense just watching.
Maneuvering on speed skates like those where urban skates should be used is TOUGH. Props to Angelia dude!!
What a fun fucking day! I'm just starting roller skating and this was such a joy to watch. I know I could never do anything like this on RR, but HOW FUN TO WATCH!!
camera the real mvp for keeeping up with them while doing the angles

These video are super cool. And the songs make me wanna run somewhere don't know we're but I'm moving. ❤🙌🏽
The audio editing on this is phenominal. The balancing is quite honestly perfect.
love the teal and pink skates, what skates are they?
