Bill it's been a while since u made a tutorial, I would love to see from you guide on transitions, but in reality, I would love to watch any of your existing tutorials revisited in v2
While city skating one day, out of nowhere, I thought / heard "Stay low" in your voice and remembered to. Then immediately after, I hit a huge crack in the sidewalk that would have sent me flying had I not stayed low. Thanks Bill! Keeping us safe out there with all the great tips!
I was told for inline skating that speed comes largely from the compression of the wheels and not so much from just pushing off on your skates. I don't really understand the physics behind it, but from trying it out I witnessed how staying low puts me in an ideal position for pushing down with my legs and that's helping create that compression in the wheels. Then I saw myself gaining even more speed on cross-overs and maintaining my speed longer when I hold strides.
I think its about the energy transmission. The lower you stay, the more energy you regain from every push. Automatically you apply more pressure to the ground (being low makes it harder to just move your legs to the side). Its kind of like with punching. if you glide over someones cheek, they are not going to be particularly impressed, but if you hit the straight, they'll fly back. So in skating, if you remain in an upward postion all the time, you pretty much glide over the surface with the wheels. SoI guess that "wheel compression" is an excellent way to explain things!
Think about it like this: heavier things are harder to move but store more kenetic energy when moving at the same speed as something lighter. So when you compress your skate, ie making it "heavier" you are making it harder to move to the side but in turn when it moves to the side it pushes your body with a lot more energy because it's heavier. It has nothing to do with the compression of the wheels and everything to do with the weight placed on the skate its self.
Great one, as usual. In fact, so great, I thought to myself, I need to go skating today. And so I did. I played it again while lacing up, and boy oh boy, over 6 hours of riding later, I can tell you it was a magnificent session! That sprint at 11:00 was so beautiful, I couldnt stop re-watching it over and over again. I am fairly new to skating, and I do leak kinetic energy left and right, but after closesly studying Bill's moves, I tried replicating them today. And I can tell you I see some progress! This Man is a true inspiration!
The sprinting at first I could only do if I was already had momentum. Ive gotten better at it from a standing still position. Keeping the core tight makes the world.
You had balls Bill at minute 2'15" going through on one skate only... 😳 You inspire us a lot and make us relax watching yout videos as many time you manage to make us feel like we were skating instead of you, love it!!!! At which speed were you skating while overtaking that Mercedes at minite 10'25"? And yeah, music is great as well, amazing choice!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very amazing cool skate trip Bill Stoppard Skating BSS.. 😀👍 and very nice video you made.. 😃👍 but do you still used a insta 360 camera to record yourself..?
Hey bill, new skater here. I've been watching alot of your content surrounding the importance of stopping. Where do you think I should start when it comes to stopping ( don't have foot brake). I can turn with some decent agility but I can get that push to slide. I have 86a durometer wheel. Do you think I should step it up to harder wheels or focus on technique? Thanks.
With your set up have you had any difficulty with going over railroad tracks ? If so any pointer ? Where I’m at there’s a railroad tracks that makes me second guessing going through there. It’s kinda hard not going though there since that part is a long straight away where I can keep my speed going sorry for asking great fucking video like always.
Wow! Inspiration central, BSS. Gotta say. That portion where you're crossing sidewalk-to-street over the cobblestone sections... uh, er, had to slow it down and watch closely. I imagine you shift your weight back a bit going over that rough surface; it will slow you down and you want your front wheels to ride over the bumps more easily? Yes, yes, yes... Always great skating. Thanks.
Yes You have to to put your weight on your heels focus on stability by for example shifting your two feed (vertical?) To have more stability against the momentum loss. You try to take as much momentum as possible with you, because you would easily stuck or your weel would stop rolling....
Yep, also keep your weight on your back foot, that way the back foot is the one to get stopped and you can land on the front foot. If you have your weight forward and your front skate gets stopped you're probably eating pavement.
@@SuperSayinSolidSnek - Having recently eaten some pavement while rolling through chunky stuff, what you said about weight on the back foot made sense, especially when combined with getting super-low. I just now experimented indoors in my bare feet. First in my normal rolling position, which is always too high, while skating bumpy pavement. Then I just squatted a bit more and immediately a lot more weight went directly to the back foot. It demonstrated to me that simply by remembering to stay lower, I can get more weight to the rear skate. I'm looking forward to practicing this on skates soon!
I’m just starting how to learn to blade and I am starting in my garage I took it out to the street by my friends house and the roads at least where I live Are terrible to blade on I envy Flat smooth roads Turns out I am pronating hell a bad any tips for getting on center edge
focus on your knee position - if you want to get less pronation, get your knees over your toes, and if you want to get an outside edge, think about shifting your knee outward. it’s a bit hard to explain without visuals, but think about it like this: if you’re standing flat on your feet (not in skates) with your feet parallel with your knees bent, you can squish your knees together so your knees touch. that’s inside, and you can feel more pressure on the inner sides of your feet (the outer edges of your feet may even lift up). now you can push your knees out so your knees are “outside” where your toes are, and you feel more pressure on the outsides of your feet (the inside edges of your feet will likely lift up). that’s an outside edge. the same logic transfers to when you put your skates on too. so if you bend your knees and keep your knees directly over your toes, you’ll be on your center edge. edit: you can try practicing the inner vs outer vs center edge thing on one foot at a time (again without skates on) too; that may help you fix your strides when you do have skates on, as you need to be able to find your edges on one foot at a time to do proper forward strides
@@pepperspikes1849 - This was very valuable info for me. I'm always fighting pronation, especially with the bigger wheels on tri-skates. I kept trying to get on my outside edges using my hips. I'm going to practice using my knees, instead!
..so .. errr my 10 y.o. daughter asks how old is he ....? does it matter?...how old do u think ? ..na it doesn't matter, just wondering how long it takes 2 b that good... he must b at least 20..... mmmm u need at least another 20 2 get that good... :)
keep in mind that bill stoppard started inline skating before there were tutorials on the internet; now we have lots of video tutorials on all kinds of skating skills. depending on how much time and effort someone puts into it and their own natural level of skill and fitness, they could progress pretty quickly :)
This is art, I watch this at least one time every day
Skate of a lifetime for sure! How can it get any better you may ask? For those of us subscribed, we'll see that it will!
Haha thanks so much Shawn!!

Yes, stay low and keep the head movement to a minimum to drive those wheels into the pavement!

Thanks for getting me back into skating bill! I sincerely enjoy all your videos! ❤️
awesome music choice and terrific skating!

Love the music, really adds a dramatic twist!
Awesome! Love these longer vids to watch while working out
Damn, that alternating breaking sides 7:31, pretty cool 👍👏💪
The 'fish eye' style lens adds well to the overall effect of this video. Well done.

Awesome! like always great skating.
I think the TH-cam view count is glitched, it says 6.8K instead of 6.8B
Lots of accurate stops👍💪 luv it
What an intense and impressive session, I love it!
Excellent!
damn Bill, you always skate to the best tracks.
Sick music as always.
Bill out power skating staying low...with his whipping stick.
Nice, love hearing the term 'power skating'!
Beast Mode locked in! 👊🔥🔥

Hey bill first off sick video next question what is that song at the start it fits start perfectly
Get low and flow! Go Bill Go!
I do watch every video!

nice flow bill! can you tell my how wet your back is while wearing that backpack? everytime i use my backpack my shirt gets really wet :D
you should do more switch power stops; i think that’d be fun
Bill did you change your wheels ? , your slides seem to be a little less grippy .
I noticed that too, my first thought was he stopping at higher speed that'ss why the extra slide
Hey man! :D Im interested to know if the bicycle can be faster then you if they try their best. Cheers! :-)
Other than Martin Goodman trail, do you recommend anywhere similar to skate in Toronto?
Everywhere but the Martin Goodman ; ) Too busy and boring.
Is your music copyright free? If so, where do you source it?
Oh my god…11:00-11:11 hyper mode engaged you were moving

In his reddit ama he said he was 52. He doesn't like to disclose his age and have people think "wow he's so good for being 50!"
@@pepperspikes1849 What I would have given to be able to watch a back crossover over and over when I was 8 and learning to skate backwards XD
hi mr. stoppard :)
Much be nice to not have so many cars parked blocking your access to the sidewalks
Not just about you and yourself..😅😅
What are you talking about fool?
Getting boring just to see u skate, try to share more insights and teaching..😅😅
Don’t watch! Being bored is a choice.
