    Only a In line skater knows how difficult it is to skate uphill. It really does suck the life out of you, but so much fun!

      Tbh I rather do an uphill in skates than to walk uphill or bike uphill any day of the week. Just gotta push behind you not to the side but uphill is very easy in skates

    As a relative beginner to Inline Skating, it is a pure joy watching your videos as you glide seamlessly through the city! Certainly a fantastic motivator for me! Thanks for videos! Keep them coming!!

    I am tired just watching you climbing 7 floors of Ethen Center ramps. My fears are going down, you make it sound sipping a cup of tea.
    Maybe my new year resolution will be to face my fears skating dawn hills.
    You did it again.

      It's super scary at first, but it's soooo worth it. Getting to go downhill comfortably and secure of your skills opens a new world for your skating. Even if you had to start, like I did a couple of years ago, making full turns and stopping after each turn, before slowly making it into real carving, you will eventually get there and feel in control.
      It's a great new year resolution 😃. I just had to learn to go downhill if I wanted to skate around my town at all 😅

    I don't know why, but 1:39 is perhaps the coolest thing I've ever seen. The power in that little bounce you do, I've rewatched that part maybe 2 dozen times now. Thanks for inspiring this 35 year old to pick up skates again after a 25 year break.

    Man I've always wondered how fast you be going when you sprint. It looks like your just flying down the street. I been trying to get faster on my skates but I can't seem to get past the 20 mph threshold. I be feeling like I'm just crawling on my skates lol.

    I know the feeling of a not very long but challenging thing, the rush after where you are still flow-state but also twitchy from adrenaline! For me my thrill is fire spinning, my monster is a set of 100mm poi that burn for a good 10 min. The flames are huge, the heat is intense, and halfway the wall hits and you break through and when it's over you nearly fall over then jump right back up thrilled.

      Those wheels are quite small so you have a major advantage over me when learning the powerstop. I have uploaded my current progress on conquering the powerstop on my friggen monster wheels on my channel, but there's no commentary. I recommend watching one (or all!) of Bill Stoppard's videos on powerstopping. I use his content as my only guide. Best of luck to you!
