there I go. I have really enjoyed part I.
The most important thing is to always *STAY LOW*
Arsyan Thirafi why do I stay low?
@@jthompson6812 Balance! It lowers your center of gravity and makes it much easier to keep your balance even when you go over rough terrain like cracked sidewalks.
I can't help but hear it in my head with Bill Stoppard's voice :D Stay LOOOOOW
@@MarcinPetruszka exactly how I heard it to!!!

Finally a useful city skate tutorial. I'm tired of these smooth street tutorials. yeah, we get it, go around the big stuff. But finally roads that look more like mine and a tutorial on how to guide through it
I hear ya, Sammy. I enjoy tackling the rough stuff, personally. That’s how you really get better!
Really good tips. Back when I was younger, I practiced martial arts, and learning to fall is one of the first things they teach you in grappling arts. And they basically teach you to fall exactly the way you describe - you want as much surface area of your body making contact at the exact same time, to spread out the impact across as much of your body as possible.
I might catch some flak for this, but if you have any loved ones, people who you care about, family, etc... you owe it to them to always wear a helmet, especially when you're out in city streets. Traumatic brain injury can happen in an instant, and it won't always be your fault, either, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Call me an old fart, but I wouldn't be of any use to my wife as a vegetable.
Thanks for your concern! You won't catch an ounce of flack from me for being considerate of my life! Also, I took years of martial arts when I was younger, and learned to fall from it! ;) It's coold how disciplines can work so well together!
Yeah that's terrible old fart advice!
But seriously. Yes on the helmet.
It was actually one of the first things we learned in kempo too
100% agree on the helmet part
Helmets are hella cool, and actually, as a girl, I find it hot to see guy-skaters with helmets. It means that not only are you a badass skater, but you also have a considerate heart - double whammy right there.
You need to be able to quickly judge & respond to every situation. Don’t go faster than you can make a decision on how to maneuver & actually stop if you need to. There is a big part of city skating that is mental skill.
This also applies in driving.
I always prepare my self if one random kid jumped out from the alley.
So I could stop/ evade without hitting cars beside me
I agree! The mental aspect really applies to everything in this world too. You have to be able to react in time OR have a plan for when you really only can fall, so that if you do, you don't hurt yourself too badly. Gain some confidence until you really can go ballistic.
Also, WEAR PROTECTIONS PLS 😭🙌🏼 They're essential but they're fun too, cause they allow you to play around with a few tricks.
Nah dude you just skate without a care in the world.. dont watch where youre going and especially dont watch for cars... I mean what even is this comment??
@@snavisTM I mean, it’s advice dude! I’ve had a lot of situations where I would have been run over if I just said “oh, I think I have the right of way even though that car doesn’t look like they see me.
@@HeadNtheClouds hes trolling dont even answer
Phenomenal narration and descriptions. Beautiful shots to illustrate D!!
Thanks, Bill!
Woo hoo Bill is here
Omg it’s bill
@@DeezSkates jajajajajajaja jajajaja
I agree
This is exactly what i needed!
there's almost no videos or blogs on the ACTUAL how-to of street skating in quads!
I don't own in-lines and i'm new to quad skating so i just want to use what i've got.
I always wear wrist guards but i've gotten into habit of falling while crouching lol
I know this is an old comment but planetrollerskate and moxi roller skate youtubes both have great outdoor skating tutorials for quads ❤
#1 - 0:00 - be a train. Skating through the city is way easier when you have tracks.
#2 - 0:25 - wear shorts with only one leg. You'd be surprised how unaerodynamic short legs flapping around in the wind are. Half the legs, half the wind resistance!
🤣🤣🤣
One of the best skate video I've encountered because where I live is like those cracked streets you have shown. 👍
Its so scary for me to skate without walls. For some reason in my garage I feel safer than on the path in my yard . I havent went on the streets without my baby stroller. I'm not even embarrassed when he isn't in it.
Baby steps! No shame!
I only skate indoors and haven’t skated outside in ab 10yrs and today was a reality check because I thought I could go to a local park and peacefully skate on a seemingly nice pavement trail, it was anything but peaceful lol I think it was more of my fear of going too fast and having no control, I forgot hills were a thing . Thank u for making this video and I have a lot of respect for your skills. I clearly have a whole lot to learn.
I'm one of the people who has asked for this, so thanks! I'd likely start in low-traffic areas, so I especially appreciate the heads up about glass. I hadn't though about that.
Sweet! One thing I forgot to put is, be careful of running parallel to cracks too much! Your inline wheels will sink into it and get stuck!
With soft wheels glass can cut big chunks out the wheels and get stuck in them especially if surface is slightly wet. Mind your eyes when you pick it out your wheels 👍
You’ve got balls of rock hard steel to be doing all those dazzling moves around a moving train. 7:15.
One of my biggest fears is tripping on a curb and ending up underneath a bus.
That was actually very stupid and reckless.
I’ve been mostly city skating since skating rinks are far from where I live, and I just realized I’ve been doing quite a few of these without realizing. But a lot of these really helped me, and I’m thinking about investing in in-lines so I can do a lot of this stuff since I live in a place with lots of uneven surfaces.
Don’t let your rollerblade wheels go in the grooves in the road or especially side walks. Look for patch’s of lawn or grass to slow down on or crash on. Always have one foot a little further then the other, I’m right handed but I always lead with my left foot even though it’s weaker then my right.
It's better to skate with others! You'll learn 5x faster!!!
I don’t have anyone who can skate with me :(
@@Mavis.Rosefield where abouts are you?? on the very low chance we live semi near each other i’m always lookin for new skates friends!!
@@athieru5588 Germany:(
@@Mavis.Rosefield where in germany?
Im in cali if anyone wants to skate🤧🤧🤧
Awesome beginners guide, definitely has helped me as someone recently starting at 26. Could you do a video on skating backwards if you haven't already. The technique from static, keeping balance and coordinating feet with shoulder rotation. Something im struggling with at the moment. Love the channel :)
I've ice and inline skated for years, but always wanted to use it more and more practically. This video, + the links? man, you making me happy
Thanks for these tips! I'm trying to learn outdoor skating now and took my quads to a paved walking trail the other day. Because I'm new it helped a lot to have a friend walking with me to give me confidence. I'll keep practicing!
I freiken love this video. I am a scooter girl at heart but man I can appreciate what you guys do here. Also thank you for being so descriptive on the types payment and how to properly adjust to them. Just lovely. Again thank you for the upload.
I'm planning to spend my summer learning to city skate! The point about falling is super important. I already have the muscle memory of "fall by sitting down" from years of downhill sking, hopefully my body will carry that habit over
This is brilliant!!! Such a clear and peaceful narration and demonstration. A lot of things to think about that would probably cross my mind bit too late otherwise.
Thank you ❤
Just getitng back into skating after 30 years, so have been watching loads of videos, Love your videos , different take on skating, keep up the good work dude, I'm Old Old school, Hence Dude 😊👌
This is spot on! I totally agree; skating in rinks and courts is fun but it doesn’t compare to the excitement of cruising the streets! Your flow in this video is superb!👍
The funny part is that i have only scatted outside. But im in a town so there is a lot less cars and people so the tips here will really help me tomorrow. Thx man really appreciate the help
Thank you so much for a simple, understandable, holistic rundown of tips. Super helpful for a beginner-blader like me who's also a driver and cyclist - perspective, so important!
I have to face my fears, maybe today its the day to go to the streets huh?
And did you?
Skating looks so much scenic and so much more open and different terrains than in London. You have sooooo much space and emptiness
This is funny cuz when I first got my inline skates as a kid all I knew was city skating in Cleveland cuz that's all you had
Hitting us with the jet set radio shuffle was a nice start to the video.
Great! Thank you for taking the time to make this great video for beginners in Urban/City Skating
WEAR Your Helmet It's very Important.
All the gears 💯.
Rollerblading Is The Best Feelings Ever.
Cream Cheese -even if you think you skate very well, that doesn’t stop you from getting hit by a car.
@@vixa__J I know my friend 😆😁 🤣 I got hit by a car just recently I wasn't fun I was Terrible I'm still alive thank God 🤐
@@fancybear9476 ouch
I’ve been contemplating wearing a helmet more often lately. I don’t think about it much because the places I skate in my city have little to no cars. I think that instinct comes more naturally the later in life you learn skating.. my mom had me skating as soon as I could walk, so I am still adjusting to all the viewers who tell me I need to wear a helmet. Skating and running aren’t really different in my mind. Imagine you go jogging on TH-cam and everyone tells you that you could get run over so you should never jog without a helmet! 😂
Anyway, I’m not mad that people make comments out of concern for my safety. Those are just my thoughts.
@@DeezSkates My friend it's your choice of course 🤗 u free to do whatever u want but the helmet is very important our Head brain control our body small hit u can be hurt pretty bad.
Better Safe than Sorry 😁
I will do a video about how I wear my gears And u be surprised how much clouths protection I wear 👌
Most city skate vids are outside of America with gorgeous roads. Love this video and all the different terrains. Great tips and story, man
Thank you for all the effort you put into your video. It was so informative and entertaining!
I agree on ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING you said.... Plus, the filming is amazing AND I love your style 😍
I had to learn all these by myself a long time ago though. I'll check out on your channel if I can get more advice from you to improve my actual level... many thanks !!! Keep going !! Good ride ✌
One of your best videos
This was super helpful. I've been out skating three times, two times without pads. The last time was today with pads and it gave me the confidence to make small jumps though, which made it a lot easier to navigate over/around the cracks in the road. Stopping immediately is hard so i'm going to practice sitting down while skating next time, like you said, and try not to relate on my pads too much.
Very cool video David! Learned a ton! Can’t wait to practice these!
This was a really inspirational video and has caused me to subscribe! Thank you for sharing your skills and wisdom!
This was really helpful, especially as an absolute beginner, to know what I need to skate on the streets, I would try to learn on a rink but I don’t have that option so this is good stuff to know
Shredded through the biggest city near me. Loved every minute of it.
Subbed, finally a channel with skating surfaces like my city lol
I had always used quad skates and used to play hockey on rollers for a long time, but I haven't ever used inlines. I want to learn to use inlines for city skating, so this video was very nice.
Very cool!
Love Planet Roller Skate but you’ve given them a run for their money! Been waiting for them to put out a proper street skate vid for ages (still waiting!) This was nicely done 👌🏻😎👏🏻 Thanks!
So helpful and great filming off all diff types of surfaces!
absolutely fantastic video. THis is perfect for me, I will use all of your tips for my transition to streets. Thank you.
Great vid. You’ve made me want to try quads. Thank you so much.
I love your emphasis on safety. Absolutely nothing else matters if you don’t know how to be safe and knowing how to fall is crucial. I’m actually glad I’m learning how to skate outdoors as well, since it seems more challenging. Lastly, nice job showing how to skate in a city that isn’t all polishy and perfectly paved 😅
Thank you very much you're so incredibly informative helps me in real time
This was extremely helpful. Thank you.
This is very useful thank you this video helped boost my confidence
im about to get inline skates, to this is very helpful! 😊
great video, absolutely what I needed to hear!
Very useful video, thank you!
The way you spin is mesmerising
the beginning of the video has soo much Jet Set Radio Vibes! keep it up :D!
Dude, I'll have to thank you so much with the edge theory. Because of that I now carve and turn so much faster and I can do a parallel slide due to it. It made me so aware how to position my feet and were to put the weight/pressure.
Again many thanks and keep up the super informative videos. I love them.
Many thanks again
Comments like this make all the time and effort I put into these videos worth it! I'm so glad you are benefiting from them!
Deez Skates Same/what he said ⬆️ There are tons of vids here- but somehow yours are the ones that give me the most confidence and have helped me more than any others 🙏🙏
That footwork in the beginning was sick
Fantastic skater and really well articulated.
Very helpful Video. Thank You. Good Footage too.
City skating makes me feel so free, I've never been in a rink, there isnt one where I live so I learned on the streets and stayed there. I'm an inline skater!
i loved that video and im really excited to try city skating, also nice dancing in the beginning lol
Thank you for making this video @Deez Skates
Your videos inspire me. I'm recovering from a fall and can't wait to go back.
Happy healing, my friend. Take it easy and don’t do too much too soon. 😎
That clip in front of the train was sick 🤙🏽
I started learning back in December at age 43, with my ultimate objective being to use skates to commute to and from gym on pavements and cycle lanes. I've been looking for a while for a video which covers things to consider when transferring to city skating (which will not happen for a while until I'm comfortable). This one has covered a lot of ground (if you'll excuse the pun)! Have a like!
Great video. Nice skating glad to be back on skates. Got me some K2 Trio 100 LT. So smooth!
Those are great tips. City wants Your ribs and blood sometimes, but can be tamed, like any other beast. Take care and have fun.
Awesome vid man, thank you.
That was really very helpful,thanks for sharing.Subbed
Subscribed!!! Just ordered my blades. Haven't skated in years. Super Juiced!
Bro skating seems so awesome, there are a lot of smooth roads where I live, just a car-dependent area, it's going to be such a good time learning to city skate in a more "beginner" friendly area it sounds like fro m your video, thanks!
you skate so well, hopefully in the future i'll be able to skate like that too!
I had put my rollerblades on after 15 years. I been smart enough not to use any pads. I had really bad bail trying to avoid a speeding car behind me. Smashed my phone, myself so bad! Still recovering. Use pads guys u need them. Back in the days wrist pads where really handy for me. I need to get a pair of those.
Great video. I liked how you warned against learning to fall on your joints. That may make sense in ramp skating but heck no am I going to dive on my knees on the street even with pads!
And this nice song at the end :) Great video, thank man! :)
Very good tips! Thanks!
Love your style
Super useful!
The images were great! Congratulations!
Wow, I rarely write comments, but this time - oh, god, a lot of great information that I will use as a beginner and last ost was great. In brief, beautiful video. I will watch another in future
This is a great topic...just got around to this video.
Hey Greg! Thanks for watching. Hope you and Gwen are doing well these days!
Such a nice place to skate.
Thank you this is so very helpful :)
Great video David! Makes me wanna get into skating 👍
Thanks Ale! It's never too late to get started on that, my friend!
The slo mo punch 👊
Phenomenal and on-point advice for outdoor skating - thanks pal!
Love your Seba Highlight 10's - I go those too.
Do you ever find it annoying where your scratch guard pads scrape the ground from leaning into the turn?
Thanks, it's very helpfull !
For the pebble surface--I've found that the faster you skate on it the less likely your wheels are to "catch". Counter-intuitive, but it works!
I very much agree with what you said about learning to not rely on protection, I felt somewhat awkward though of seeing you ride very close to a rolling train at the same time.. 😬
Awesome video, thanks
Awesome audio narration! So styled, almost like rap 😎😅👌👌👌
Dude this is a GREAT video
Got back into blading after a few years. My feet let me know after the fact which I'm sure is common/typical. The path I am using has areas that have been tar patched because of surface cracks. Which makes going over them more fun as it were. And yes the typical debris of tiny rocks or pebbles and such. Minor uphill presents its challenges and so does the wind.
Nice job! Great video.
This video us the best one
Very nice man, subbed.
Thank you for this c:
I live in an area where I simply can't get to any skateparks without a car, not to mention most of the outdoor ones are either really dangerous, run down or attracts really sketchy people (Being female that is terrifying), and the indoor ones are just open in the evenings outside of bus times (living on the countryside that means no buses after 7, none on weekends), so that leaves me with having to skate on rough roads with no sidewalks
Jet set radioooo!!!
All important moves in 6 minutes. Great!
