I watched this a couple of years ago and being someone that spent their childhood skating, it had a real impact on me. A loss for what I had with rollerblading and a loss of my youth, the melancholy tone in this vid sent me back into memories and feelings long forgotten. I've come back to this video, a few years later as it's the day before I get back on the blades at 37 years old.
we're all together man
Brother got back into skating at 40 & it's been amazing. Also amazingly painful but worth it.
@plarks-guddaboyz still skating since I wrote this a year ago. Still loving it 😀
@rektchord Good on you! I started blading from scratch at 40 years old. 6 years on, I've got a few grinds under my belt. Just heading for a session now after 6 months off. Wish me luck!
It's never too . Don't worry guy
PERFECT!!!!!as always
Ricardo Lino yea wait what am I always?
Ricardoooo!
Man, aggressive inline has really grown up into someone beautiful.
Shaaadddaap
especially with dudes like this who skate like literal water. so fluid.
Yeah this is a beautiful edit Mr. Atkinson! Ey Kaff! check out eugen enin VOD as well. Absolutely incredible technicality.
Skating has always been a dance, well, at least I've always found that style is a huge factor. Ballroom dancing, figure skating, etc can be sometimes too technical and soulless but what stands out is flow and so on. The true dance. Same with breakdancing, there can be a split between just pure power/technique and actual dancing/rythmn. But yeh, agree totally. Alos this sort of production is all about the flow of the skating, the dance, as it were. I dunno, it's kinda funny cos I'd say there's a lot of skaters that would hate the term 'dancer'. Machismo shit I guess. Yet would applaud one another not just for complex tricks but doing them with style! :)
Something*
I can't believe how he just flows his style is unbelievable flawless he flows into the next ramp or whatever he is doing pools everything is just natural to him and I find myself amazed and stunned myself I love to blade he has made his rollerblades into a paintbrush in the skate park is his canvas every piece of concrete wood and asphalt is his canvas he is the Picasso
of rollerblading
Amazing, I don’t even know how rollerblading went outta style. I wish I never stopped!
Ditto!
A couple reasons, at least in the US:
1. Got too popular and therefore became a fad
2. It's hard to get good and skate like the pros
3. General decline in overall physical activity due to video games and computers
4. Hate from the skateboarding community
5. Most of the publicity was on aggressive inline, which had an in your face and assertive vibe that alienated certain groups (women/lgbt)
That said, I hope inline skating rises back up!
never too late. grab a new pair and get out there. that's what I did. peace
a board is cheaper and you can do way more tricks without even moving. I'm about to order blades again tomorrow. Long time skateboarder!
Don't forget, "we" got old, and the next gen in the park don't see it that often (around where I am at least).
No matter how many times I watch it, is never enough.
This video is gorgeous, relaxing and inspiring.
Thanks to all involved in the making of this piece of art.
Just wait till you see Carts Of Darkness then.
Stunning skating, stunning cinematography, beautiful music. Two people at the top of their craft.
That closing trick at 7:30 was both stylish and nuts.
dude just backflipped into a rock fakie wallride, NUTS
those last 2 tricks are truly things of awe-defining beauty.
Joe is just on his own planet. Watching him skate bowls is lethargic.
Lethargic? You sure you got the right word there? Sluggish and weak?
If you want to see exciting energy, speed up the video! lol
@@Waxxumus definitely used the wrong word 😂 think I meant therapeutic
Cathartic?
Lysergic? 😝
Still one of the most beautiful videos on TH-cam
It's 1999, I'm in the shed with my grandad melting down candles, wax crayons, oil, dish soap etc trying to make the perfect grind wax recipe.... Lost both eyebrows, don't regret it
Wtf, just use a candle
My neighbours hated me, 12year old waxing their kerbs out of melted soap, crayons ...
Nice one 👍
Crayons is were it's at
I almost burned down the kitchen, bc I used way too much heat and the wax caught fire
One of the future and present legends. Joe and Dom making Rollerblading history capturing the True essence of everything.
There is something special with this video
I'm making a comeback after decades... This video will certainly be an inspiration.
Godamn. Joe made art in that bowl.
Man I was just watching The Love Scotland Tour Locoskates did in 2011 and you wouldn't even recognise Joe as being the same person now.
It's awesome seeing how his passion has kept him rolling. And what better way to show this then to have the VIP treatment with Dom West shooting your shit. Both legends. 👏
That flat to the rock was sick
Atkinson is weightless, suspended in air, his skating communicates his essence, his vitality, and his emotion. The video puts everything together so beautifully and in such an intimate way. The viewer sees through the eyes of the director and the result is so pure and captivating.
Amazing skating, beautifully captured and edited by a master craftsman.
Is it just me or is this way more interesting than skateboarding?
I think the beauty of it stands alone. Why bring competition and skateboarding into this when Dom and Joe are in a world of their own.
It isn't just you
Repress your insecurities
.
Watch and escape.
Balance and commitment unlike skateboarding where you can bail out with this its glued to you that's why I love this better
Both are interesting and to the videos credit the filmer knows how to shoot and edit.
Просто прекрасно! Это искусство, катание и съемка на высоте!
No vocals is defenetly a plus in my book..!!!..it simply shows the beauty and captures the feeling in the most beautiful and simple way💣❤👌
Yes, thank God it was a vocal free song and didn’t become one of those insufferable IG videos with that lazy female Adele-esque voice with too much reverb.
One word, beautiful!
brutally gorgeous
No protection at all...supreme confidence!
Thanks to both Dom and Joe for this masterpiece! Never gets old! 🙏🏻
Great movie👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🧨🧨🧨🧨
"Never try to force anything." Skating is no exception, and this exceptional video demonstrates that truism perfectly. Alan Watts (quoted), like Manly P. Hall, have been a major source of inspiration throughout my life. For me, skating taught me everything I needed to know about being and nothingness before I even understood what those things were. Mastering a pair of skates is one of the true tests in the path of spiritual awakening. It's also one of the freest forms of expression, which is why I miss it so much. Watching these awesome skate videos makes me want to put on my skates and find my inner flow again.
Same here! I used to explain my rollerblading as my emotions. Depending on how I felt on the day defined my skating. I do miss the feeling
beautiful Australian landscape. Thank you for including this! 3:33
That was amazing! I lived and skated in Bondi for 20 years. It was quite touching seeing my old hood, thanks 🙏🏾😎
this should have a million views!
That was pure art.
I've watched the blue beach bowl sequence so many times. It's so relaxing. Could easily watch a 1-hour version.
Pool to the rock! EPIC!
This is true art.
What a masterpiece!
the shots from above r so aesthetically pleasing
Beautifully inspirational and emotionally charged. If there was ever a skating film that depicted the poetry of skating, it’s this.
Amazing. Blading needs more vids like this.
checkout cody lampman edits
A PEACE OF ART!
What an incredible piece of work. How have I not seen this before. Fantastic.
Wow! Beauty video! Good feeling!
Excellent Cinematography and Skating is A1
He is the Dustin Latimer of this era. thank you rollerblading.
Beautiful! I miss the time I used to skate almost every day! I wish I could fix my knees an get on them again. Maybe a robotic knee will do in the future.
Excellent production, great work.
Deep.. aggressive skaters are the rebels the underdogs, the puritans, the lone wolf. Dare devils that do it for themselves. I love that.. yet the sport should get the credit it deserves in my opinion it should be in the Olympics.
I love how different this is than most hand held skate videos
Outstanding.
5:20 OMFG😍😭
Beautiful presentation!
Great cinematography! As a skateboarder I havent seen a rollerblader in years!
We're coming back. Brace yourself!
I'm down, I never had a problem with rollerblades. Can you replace the scooter kids!? Haha
Our army is marching, we on the way lol
2:15 Pretty damn sure that's Cesar Mora just chillin'. Legend.
MORA!! Haha. So good to see him.
I think in the Jump street Podcast he mentions it
My vert hero back then. I met him in his prime time like 1996 n in 2000 NZ X-Games. He's a humble guy tho.
No way it is too!
Nice spot! I wouldn't have clocked that. He was a monster on vert.
I like the Alan watts commentary at the end
Last trick was probably the most insane trick I've observed in my life
Clean mean soul grinding machine
Joe is the best. What an inspiring video Dom!
Masterfully crafted.
Love the fact Cesar Mora is just sat on top of the bowl chilling, watching Joe rip.
Just... wow.
Beautiful ❤❤❤
BEAUTIFUL 😢
truly satisfying to watch
Fantastic vid, that flow is too hot
This is beautiful.
Magic Joe... fantastic video 💙 Only love 🇮🇹
This is still the best skate edit ever made. Just bummed it's not the full version. When this came out for purchase, that version had a whole other section with him skating a spider web bowl and this badass park with multiple spines in a row.
JOE JOE JOE JOE 🤘😎🤙
Well this just became my new favorite skate edit. Top notch from front to back. 😎🤙
Amazing! Art!
Incredible skating
You just flo ....so fluid.....🤩
Bravo!!!!
Absolute master 🤙
Perfect video!! Thank's!
Amazing cinematography. Joe's skating was on point. Will be purchasing this in future.
7:20 ,dom makes blading look how it should amazing
What a beautiful landscape where this guy skates at really gave me chills watching this video.
the best video i have watched
WOW!
It was genuinely beautiful and so peaceful. Joe is just untouchable, his skating is out of this world.
Absolutey excellent
Tears of joy. Brilliant.
brilliant film
A1
epic video!!!!! sick skating and cinema!!
This is AWESOME!
The ended tho 🤜🏼🤛🏼 great job!
Really cool video. Love from Canada
Beautiful! Getting back into skating at 40, uh oh! And was thinking I'd like to get more into bowl skating (there's one near where I live). When I was skating a lot, 23 years ago, Dublin (Ireland) had barely any skateparks. Also they kept being shut down because parents would sue them, 'sigh'. Even though they would drop their kids there. But one broken bone and sue, sue, sue. But now, public parks in Dublin have a fair few small but decent enough parks. Ha, those times you think: "Damn, if only that was around when I was a kid!". But fuck it, I figure if I pretend I'm not 40 all should be good....cut to me in a wheelchair, lol! But yeh, this is beautiful and inspiring! Kudos to the skater and film! :)
how tf did he downhill skate on AGGRESSIVE FRAMES??? AND THEYRE FLAT TOO?????????? absolutely awe-inspiring
Holy... I don't think people know exactly, just HOW hard that trick starting at 7:28 is. I know certain people find blading to be "easy", but on no planet is this remotely easy.
Nice video, bad ass skater.
beautiful piece of mind
Like a boss with this film! two masters at their crafts making magic for the masses! beautiful
Them illusion half cabs in the bowl are fire
Absolutely beautiful...
Great little film. It made me feel very nostalgic about the late '90s when I was obsessed with aggressive inline skating.
This is making me sad, I wish id never stopped skating. Such a beautiful and graceful sport
Magnificent!
