I love Chris Farmers style. I don't mean his clothes, I'm really not a fan of them but the way he skates. Every trick he lands he just flows & makes it look so effortless. I'd love to be able to skate like him (or Haffey)!
Just like in skareboarding, you are switching your stance of how you would normally do a trick. If you see it like that, you will understand. If you usually do a certain grind on the left hand side of the rail, to do it switch in rollerblading is doing it on the right hand side.
Well said sir, the sooner the world could except people for their individual talent, the sooner when can make this world a better place. I have total respect for everyone and anyone who I see. Do what you have a naturel talent of doing, without letting people talk you out of it. Do what you want to do. Be who you want to be.
If you guys haven't heard a new rollerblading game on kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/onaroll/on-a-roll On PC and all consoles. I actually think chris haffey and Farmer will be in it.
Switch in blading is doing the grind on the side you feel harder to do... For example, I do the soul grind with my right foot in the back, but if I want to do switch I'll put my left foot in the back. Going backwards in blading is called fakie and if you do the soul grind while you are turned backwards and you are grinding backwards it's called zero-spin soul.
Some do it for fun. I bladed when i was 12 and so. Now i'm turning 27 tomorrow and i recently bought Rblades for urban skating. Beind old is first and foremost state of the mind, then body. Skate for fun :)
Switch is opposite of what you normally do. So if you soul with your right foot soul tricks with your left are switch. Fakie is going backwards, alley oop is spinning into the rail and grinding backwards, true is spinning away from the rail and grinding backwards...
For Example: If you do a soul grind you can either grind on your left or right soul frame. If the grind was switch depends on with one is your weak foot.
Everyone has a natural way to skate and do tricks. If you do it the opposite way it is way harder and called switch. That is why all switch tricks for this video is insane. It is like 2X difficulty.
it started in 2004 and slowly progressed from there if you look at his early skating videos, from 1998 - 2003 he was very had very hip-hop gangster style (very very baggy sweatpants ) and acted like Eminem, th-cam.com/video/0hLyCWmlvD8/w-d-xo.html heres a video from 2002, Mindgame video Words
It pretty much is but once you get used to falling your pain tolerance goes way up. These guys have been at it for god only knows how many years and they're practically made of rubber and you could probably break their arm and they would just be like "Ouch" and that would be the end of it. I just started rolling and falling still hurts like hell.
Idk, i'm just so surprised farmer grew up to be like that considering he used to dress so ghetto like broskow. He's just dressing radically and frankly, it gets in the way of his style and skating imo
In skateboarding switch,,, well ok. But in rollerblading, i don't have to much time blading, but i didn't know bout "switch"... i always try grinds both sides. In some way, its harder top grinds with my right foot.
I'm a skater and I just realized I don't know the name of any of these tricks haha. I've heard of a Sole Grind but that's about it. Does switch only apply for grinds because otherwise you're facing straight forward right.
SkateDelMar switch is using the foot that isn't dominant. like a soul for example. If you're right footed, your right foot is grinding on the soul plate. And switch would be grinding on the soul plate with your left foot
I knew that place looked familiar!! And the comments below.confirmed it...just gotta remember which school in Moreno Valley it was at...Hope I'm not wrong on where its at.
I made my account 2007-08. Times change, you obviously haven't realised yet :). If only people stopped searching "blading" and leaving a hateful comment coz they think it's cool. That would be a VERY good change.
Half of it is. When you're landing into it, you generally lock in at 270. I remember everyone calling it a 270 ts back in the early 2000s so I still do too
I love Chris Farmers style. I don't mean his clothes, I'm really not a fan of them but the way he skates. Every trick he lands he just flows & makes it look so effortless. I'd love to be able to skate like him (or Haffey)!
Never gets old. ❤
I give major respect to both these guys, I wouldn't even attempt switch grinds on that handrail, that takes balls, skill and a little bit of insanity.
time to watch this for the millionththth time
Being from the UK, a rail this good does not exist here with such a long smooth run up and run out.
The trick names... I'm gonna do a "Fishbowl 3 Cars Left in the Garage to Fakie Small Litter box."
Alleyoop top soul fish porn illusion switch grab 360 triple hurricane
Top spin soul jump karate slip turn 360 noscope Quiver grind to the left
Over the valley double spin over the fence switch foot under garment
Hilarious. Teared up from laughter after reading this and the following comments.
Haha! I forgot about this comment, gotta love it!
Hahah the way he screams whenever he falls totally gets me cracking!
Chris Farmer, the ghost of Jimmi Hendrix wants his clothes back :D
Just like in skareboarding, you are switching your stance of how you would normally do a trick. If you see it like that, you will understand. If you usually do a certain grind on the left hand side of the rail, to do it switch in rollerblading is doing it on the right hand side.

Gosh I miss these skaters.....
That rail looks so fun. I could skate that for hours every day.
"I don't wanna hit my taint..." 😂😂😂
old blader watching it in end 2021
this brings joy
still brings joy in 2024
Chris Farmer is my favorite but Chris Haffey is very very good........Very good games
Farmer is so chill
Haffey still went harder even though farmer won. Seemed very unlikely haffey would land a couple of farmers tricks near the end.
If you guys haven't heard a new rollerblading game on kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/onaroll/on-a-roll On PC and all consoles. I actually think chris haffey and Farmer will be in it.
This was the best game of B.L.A.D.E.
Farmer and Haffey are total BEASTS
I wouldn't even beat Chris Farmer in the game of blade with soap shoes on. Mess with the best die like the rest
lol
The Best Game Ever!!!
I Want 2 C
FrankyMorales
VS
Jaren Grob
Play The
Blade Game!!!
HydroMan Out.
so fun to watch. Both are beasts, but when Farmer nails a grind... looks so smooth
Switch in blading is doing the grind on the side you feel harder to do... For example, I do the soul grind with my right foot in the back, but if I want to do switch I'll put my left foot in the back.
Going backwards in blading is called fakie and if you do the soul grind while you are turned backwards and you are grinding backwards it's called zero-spin soul.
Laughed so hard when I heard Chris mumble "I don't wanna hit my ting" not long after 7:12 hahaha
Please do a revisit of this Chris. You vs farmer, same rail in 2024
Fucking hilarious every time Haffey screams while failing!
Bring me this shit back, please
Some do it for fun. I bladed when i was 12 and so. Now i'm turning 27 tomorrow and i recently bought Rblades for urban skating. Beind old is first and foremost state of the mind, then body.
Skate for fun :)
I love how Haffey screams all the time, haha
Skateboarders: The ones who spend their time to be as cool as possible, not caring to have fun.
Switch is opposite of what you normally do. So if you soul with your right foot soul tricks with your left are switch. Fakie is going backwards, alley oop is spinning into the rail and grinding backwards, true is spinning away from the rail and grinding backwards...
For Example: If you do a soul grind you can either grind on your left or right soul frame. If the grind was switch depends on with one is your weak foot.
did anybody see that flash back video of farmer with the full cab fishbrain. that shit was nutzo
people do it for a hobby others if they're good enough do it for a job and they can get famous by it they're doing some they love and enjoy.
Aggressive skating is NOT DED
Everyone has a natural way to skate and do tricks. If you do it the opposite way it is way harder and called switch.
That is why all switch tricks for this video is insane. It is like 2X difficulty.
chris haffeys yell is so funny ahaha
All switch tricks is insane
I agree with you, for the most part
Has Farmer always dressed like Nikki Sixxx or is that a new thing?
yea he does...but I like his style...just not the tight jeans
it started in 2004 and slowly progressed from there if you look at his early skating videos, from 1998 - 2003 he was very had very hip-hop gangster style (very very baggy sweatpants ) and acted like Eminem, th-cam.com/video/0hLyCWmlvD8/w-d-xo.html heres a video from 2002, Mindgame video Words
I've been blading for quite some time now and i never heard of a trick called "Helicopter" Anybody there who can help?
I love how they say their tricks look like shit...they all look righteous from where I'm sitting....especially Farmer's.
It doesn't matter what Farmer looks like he's still a fucking boss and I'm pretty sure he's a hell of a lot better than you'll ever be.
Where do I find the video regardless?
i want that Farmer shirt lol.
Baker bootleg 3000 promo had a clip of this spot in it.
Skateboarding used to be where we are now. Don't hate.
It pretty much is but once you get used to falling your pain tolerance goes way up. These guys have been at it for god only knows how many years and they're practically made of rubber and you could probably break their arm and they would just be like "Ouch" and that would be the end of it.

Damn Brandon. RIP Brother.
awesome
Farmer dresses like a pirate
muito foda !!!!!!!
Brasil aki porra
Rollerblade version of Richie Jackson
Its funny when haffey yells
Idk, i'm just so surprised farmer grew up to be like that considering he used to dress so ghetto like broskow. He's just dressing radically and frankly, it gets in the way of his style and skating imo
I'm just getting into aggressive skating, and I'm confused on what switch is for this lol how do you ride switch on skates?
screaming when you mess up helps too lol
oh. thank you
that 270 topsoul was just painful to watch
he went off the other side of the rail every time he tried 270 top sole lmao
Did all the best bladers like grow up together? every one of these BLADE videos I watch everyones all good ass friends.
more of this kind video, happy to watch, next please arlo vs julio:)
How long did it take for you to learn to not fall on your tricks
Starting to be a little half an half! since theres quite a few different variations now. But anti-rockers still are the main frame style.
Living the dream!
Doing a trick oppisite of how you normally do it. Like a makio with your left when you normally use the right.
why haffey does the halfcap mizou with left foot? switch?
like a BOSS, just that stupid WIND!
how the hell do you rollerblade switch? i mean i get it on a skatboard, but rollorblades?
@farmhouse true fish switch looked a lot better than regular!
Correction ttp
+Dima Puchkarev Nah, they both looked incredible :D equal amounts of awesomeness, so clean
rollerblading is tight
its doing tricks with your switch foot, say you soul grind with your left soul usually, in switch you would use your right soul
In skateboarding switch,,, well ok. But in rollerblading, i don't have to much time blading, but i didn't know bout "switch"... i always try grinds both sides. In some way, its harder top grinds with my right foot.
oh alright thanks!
haffey drinks blue moon.. good man
Some of those tricks farmer was definately not switch!
what does switch mean? i assumed itd mean riding backwards but clearly no
chris farmer is such a strange man, but what a awesome skater
What's the name of this school? Thanks!
I heard "fruitboot" originally came about because skates used to be multi coloured...like fruit!
I'm a skater and I just realized I don't know the name of any of these tricks haha. I've heard of a Sole Grind but that's about it. Does switch only apply for grinds because otherwise you're facing straight forward right.
SkateDelMar switch is using the foot that isn't dominant. like a soul for example. If you're right footed, your right foot is grinding on the soul plate. And switch would be grinding on the soul plate with your left foot
Is this in New Mexico
I didn't know either of these guys knew how to miss tricks!
Is there a Tony Hawk Pro Skater (video game) map of this place?- it looks super familiar.
When you do everything with the opposite foot that you usually do.
Both of their feet are their switch foot?
Oh okay thanks, man.
whats the video they relate to
I knew that place looked familiar!! And the comments below.confirmed it...just gotta remember which school in Moreno Valley it was at...Hope I'm not wrong on where its at.
Notice how after Haffey wax's the rail, theres about 6 failed tricks after that...
What is Swich "helicopter" ?
so basically Haffey lost bc he tried that 270 top soul a thousand times 😅
I made my account 2007-08. Times change, you obviously haven't realised yet :). If only people stopped searching "blading" and leaving a hateful comment coz they think it's cool. That would be a VERY good change.
haha best reply ever, bravo
i dont like the way farmer skates but i like his dress sense
I really wanted to see Haffey stick the 270 ts
270 ts?
top soul
i know what a ts is. i'm asking how. its not a boot trick.
i call it a 360 top soul
Half of it is. When you're landing into it, you generally lock in at 270. I remember everyone calling it a 270 ts back in the early 2000s so I still do too
It's all about fun yo
Am I the only one who is wondering how they are still alive? I would die if I try those tricks lol.
Alex Nunez destroyed this rail in B.Unique 1131 edit!
