Commuting Uptown | Sights and Sounds of NYC
Train prices are high, and there have been a few derailments. Rollerblading seems to be the better way.
In this video, I skate from the Aether store in SoHo back to the Upper West Side, where I live. Trying something new with a more "raw" approach, let me know if you like it in the comments.

I use the Insta360 X3 which is a camera that enables me to get great footage without asking my imaginary friends to film me. You can snag one too here store.insta360.com/product/x3?INRFLRX and get a discount plus some free accessories with your purchase!

Perfect balance, swift turns, and an unbreakable connection with the city's rhythm - this is a rollerblading spectacle that redefines urban exploration!

used to be that and bicycle, but people got lazy and want motorized so they do not have to work.
It's crazy how much faster you actually go through traffic when you're not in a car and you're always in momentum😊
You had me spinnin' and reelin' I can't believe how insanely perfect you timed every milisecond...cobblestone, cracks, uneven pavement...you flowed over everything like you were water. You need some music 'Can't touch this...' or something, lol, deep respect for your skills!!
But would wearing a helmet take anything away from the video? Just like riding a motorcycle you can be the best rider on the road but you have no control over other people.
Seriously, just the concept of this channel is enough to get people to watch.

Dude I used to skate those same streets. Loved it. Except the couple of times a taxi door would open and wreck me. I skated agro skates, so your speed on those is insane! I was just telling my friend I wish skates were a thing again. Great video!
Great skating bud! It's amazing that these new york drivers are so quiet as you're zipping around. Killer footage!🎉 🗽
This was just mind blowing. I gasped so many times!
I used to do this back when roller skates were still popular in the mid 90s. I used to be a daredevil on those things. I will put some korn or deftones and I'll be in my own world. It wasn't NYC but where I lived is or is one of the most densely populated cities in the USA, union city NJ, I can't believe now that I never got seriously hurt. This video makes want to again pick up the hobby.

Love the videos. More please ❤The city becomes a cool playground when you can skate through the streets. The feeling of freedom is amazing ❤
always a joy.... new new Stuttering Skater upload!
As a fellow stutterer whose been trying to get back into inline you're an inspiration.
this video got me flashbacks to when i was a kid, always loved this
Satisfying to watch, your smooth with it🔥

I’ve ridden down these streets and they are no joke. Almost feels like football sometimes, with all the cars and the weaving and everything. Also bro is booking it. Had to make sure I was at 1x speed. Max respect.
Dude I just discovered your channel today and I’ve watched countless shorts and probably 10 videos. I love it keep it going
What an unexpected great finding yesterday when I landed on this channel. I was so stoked that for the first time in many months I had a session last night. I felt a bit rusty but with a few runs I hope I can get back on track. Suscribed!
I love watching this dude so much when i first started watching his vids i had to subscribe immediately. his positive energy and interactions make the videos amazing. Btw im trying to get the rollerblade twister edge so yeah
Holy SH... Im an ex Hockey player in NJ, i used the my rollers to go about town and more. You have brought me back to my younger years, and yes it was faster transportation... People dont know how FUN it is to Roll though the world.. Great Job.. Great Video
Yahoooow , funny & Amazing Vedio , 👌🏻😅🔥🔥

Just bought one of those cameras for my motorcycle. I love how it makes you look so effortless and seamless.
Great video! Makes me miss my lunch time skates that I did for years. I should get back into it!
I’m from Chicago but was visiting NYC last week and I believe I seen you cruising on the streets! KZread algorithm does it again, glad I came across your channel. 👏🏻
Col...I should be doing this right now! Thanks for those you're inspiring...namely, me!
That was dope it looks fun❤
Man I wish I could do that. Awesome stuff and your technique is amazing. Definitely gonna SUB to this channel now.
This brings back memories. I use to do this to commute back and forth to lower Manhattan from the Bronx for work when the Rollerblades first came out in the early 90s. I hated taking trains and buses. Just rollerblades and my walkman and I was set. People thought I was nuts and shocked because they never saw Rollerblades on the east coast yet. Fun times and a great workout. Wish I had the selfie cam back then would be cool to see now.
Stunned , that is beautiful stuff
awesome, it gives me goose bumps. wow!
This is just ❤…. 👏🏾👏🏾 do your thing bro!!
this is crazily awesome!
Man..... this is jist fascinating to watch. The skills are just top notch.. I could never be that trusting of myself on skates by driving automobiles! Im fully impressed🙌🏾
This is very cool. But do you ever feel there's a need to put a helmet or some kind of safety gear? Especially, with all the cars around you?
Dude you got balls, this is sensational.
best video youtube recommended to me in a while. sick
That was extremely satisfying to watch
Bravery and skills off the chart 🤟
Damn bro, can I just live vicariously through you for just a minute?...lol
Fun to watch! Stay safe boss! God bless.

I skated inline for years growing up and have never seen such pro leg work. Holy shit my dude props!
I'm from the country in Kentucky, me and my wife talk about wanting to go to NYC sometime. But riding blades and BMX through the traffic looks like so much fun to me.
Are soft boots no good? I use large velcro wrap to help lock them more like a solid boot , Which makes staying centered way easier, im fairly new , just wondering if i should not bother with softs and just get a hard boot and be done with it

Dude!!! I’m a dirty old skateboard but I definitely had a pair of skates when I was a kid ain’t no shame in my game. Your videos are bad ass homie seriously be careful and keep up the killer work 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I used to do this in Vancouver years ago, by far the fastest and most enjoyable way to get across downtown.
Balls of solid rock, my man.
I could watch this on loop. What camera do you use?!
You brilliant, daft bastard! 🙌🏼
Rollerblading in NYC must be amazing man,as long there's no uphill😂
This guy is awesome on those roller blades
You're a brave man to gun it through those NYC streets like that! Would love to see you roll like that with Billy Perry!
What size wheels are those? My aggressive inlines have smaller ones and they fail hard on rougher roads/pavement. I need some more urban ready ones
Man I'm a nature guy and I've never felt home in a city. Been a long time, but I absolutely love shredding through a city on wheels under my own power though. That flow state you feel was always thrilling for me.
finally, can't miss anything from this guy😏
