FREE SKATING CALGARY
I ♡ Calgary. The best city for skating. In this video Downtown and Anderson LRT Station.
Skating by Shaun Unwin
Filming by Alex Co and Shaun Unwin
Skates - Shop Task Wizard complete.
Wheels - Undercover Mushroom Blading 100mm/865A
Bearings - Twincam Storm
Recently, Alex Co and I have been experimenting with a different style of video. We started with a series on jumping. The jumping tutorial series is one of my favourite projects. However, I am eager to get back to some city skating - my true love.
We begin with a few lines at the Anderson C-train station. The C-train station has long ramps that connect the parking lot with the train platform. These ramps are a perfect drop in; creating a rush of speed into a obstacle rich parking area. While filming I had the idea of combining Alex's filming style with selfie GoPro filming.
Excited with the new idea. Alex and I reunited a few days later for an early morning skate through a few spots downtown Calgary. Here we carefully planned out a few lines where we could combine our two filming techniques to create new viewing experience.
Thanks for watching.

I know right. To get those shots he has got to be an even better skater than the guy being filmed. He is out of this world good.

Wearing a helmet, giving callouts to unsuspecting people, and thanking them are just a few of the reasons why I love this channel
2:40 I like the fact you gave them a heads up and thanked them, most other videos I see involve skaters going head on expecting others to give them priority
This is insane!! You've truly put the "Free" into Free skating; there's absolutely no limits to what you can do. I was actually more scared for Alex filming you for the most part; he too did an amazing job for keeping up with you. :p

Ya, I agree with you. I have learnt skating, about two months after 46 years of my lie :) and I felt in love with it. I love to skate outside and my 10 years daughter took me out 4 time and it was vert fun and I learnt a lot in action.
Loved your video Shaun,with all the crazy obstacles n beautiful traffic free streets..your friend has done an excellent job following you with the camera!

Those three old dudes did very good job filming you.
were u born with wheels??
At 2:25 I thought: oh, that's an amazing skill, and then i put again on 0.5x and realize I can do it too because it isn't so hard. It's just simple moves but together they are really beautiful. Congratulations for the creativity.

But this move is not new
i think what i appreciate most about these videos is the fact that you keep with the fundamentals for a very smooth, controllable style. for example, your "predator position" always looks the same. my own style is more along the lines of improvisation. my legs often look like theyre flailing through crossovers and who knows what my arms do. if im not going as fast as my wheels will go, im not happy, but your focus on consistency over speed is refreshing. thanks for all the great videos, and keep on skating on!

Oh man this was great. I had to remind myself to inhale every now and then thanks o me being so engrossed. I would love to be able to do that, with a tiny bit more aggressive flair as that would be my preference of skating. But wow that looked like an absolute paradise. In regards to your jumping videos, I've come to the realization (or it's just my "style") that my heel pop in aggressive skates does not yield the air I so desire but it does help me traverse those small bumps you mentioned. But your toe push and part of your "how to drop in" have shown me my own way to practice traversing those larger patches and undesired patches of ground. Thanks Shop Task, this guy is representing you all out in sleepy little Stouffville Ontario.

I hate being hurt and not being able to skate. It gets me a bit depressed sometimes. The weird thing is that sometimes you can improve your skating just by thinking about it or imagining yourself skating. I remember after 2 months off skates because of a broken ankle I put the blades and I could do a couple new tricks.
Sick moves, sir!
Shaun. Your belt bag is fearless! =)
Hello Shawn ! ooooohhhh this video is greatt !! the effect of the kind camera man over the static stick is soo cool, feels like we're skating with ya. this video is nicely timely for now cuz im waiting for my bearings and wheels, i aint using my new skate until they arrive in almost 2 weeks time !! so i get to enjoy this one now, hehe. wow, even while watching,very good runs/rides/routes... and mannn you got a free lift ! free uphill - wow, and transition cameras, this is one of the m0st enjoyable skate videos ever !! hoohoo :)

Thank you for the nice comment. That is a typo but ironically the wheels also have a typo. On the Mushroom Blading logo side of the wheel the durometer is stated as 85A and on the other side of the wheel, the durometer is stated as 86A. Dustin Werbeski pointed this out and he said the wheels are actually 86A.

Man, you skate so natural, make it look so easy I beliave I can put my skates on and do so. Then I wake up and realice I would brake my teeth on the first jump!!

This is just awesome in pure form, I love it. This is just the kind of skating I wish to get into! But I'll admit that those big wheels scare me a bit :) Is the rockered Wizard frames the secret to still having the control?
@FlowSkate
6 жыл бұрын
The Wizard frame makes this style of skating much easier. The big wheels make for effortless speed. The natural rocker increases manoeuvrability without sacrificing stability. And the combination of the Seba SX boot and Intuition liner is super comfortable and high performance. By far the best all round city skate.
that was amazing ! Huge respect for the cameraman :O

Amazing flow , I really like the transitions from Alex filming to the go pro. I guessed you picked the perfect day, the streets looked empty . One question though, what posture would be best when rolling fast? I'm aware of staying low but should I stay in scissors position or keep both feet closed up together? Skate safe.
@FlowSkate
6 жыл бұрын
I prefer a very slight scissor. Generally, my right foot is about half a skate length in front of my left foot. This allows me to safely roll over bumps that I did not anticipate and still be in a good position to jump or make a quick turn.

Men, you are my hero.
im liking this video cause it was on my birthday u-u
I'm curious: do you shoot your videos in a ghost town or do you shoot them at like 6am on a Sunday morning or in public holidays only? Shops are closed and I can hardly see any people or traffic in your videos. I'd like to see some videos where you would have to deal with crossing people's way and doing lots of "emergency" stops, would that be possible?
You are insane!
