This is why I love this guy, no excessive tricks, loud music, overinflation, just skating around and having a good time.

You've inspired me to skate around NYC next time I visit instead of walk, once I get comfortable with my new blades. Your channel is great, very chill and informative!

Thank you! 🦑

Skating rinks, pool halls, and bowling alleys were shuttered all over the city. They don't generate enough money for the price of NYC square footage. Skaters took the culture to the parks and streets.

that's the weird thing about NYC is the complete lack of a decent rink.. like a real rink with good wood flooring.. even just a cement flooring would be fine but they keep using that weird plastic sh** There's a lucrative business opportunity in there somewhere! space is just the limiting factor..

Nice video! Much love from Vegas.

I'm 15 and hoping that I could skate like you one day as soon I got my Inline skates :))

Branch Brook is THE rink for NYC area, adult night is lit

This is a huge part of why I would never move to NYC.. the lack of actual, proper roller rinks is insane. I’ve wondered if it’s the cost of real estate versus operating costs not being sustainable. There are other expensive cities that have good rinks, like LA.. but even LA has a much lower real estate market than NYC.

Yeah me too lol it’s really sad the core New York area doesn’t have a permanent skating facility for actual rink skaters

I'VE always thought those places were specifically made to hurt ppl , i love skating and growing up in my home country Mexico i would watch these places on movies always thought they looked super cool and fun to skate move to america and for school i went to one of these that we had in our city it wasn't at all what i expected extremely slippery and i felt like it was no fun at all couldn't even really skate and im good at rollerblading ... still great video to watch 😀👌

You didnt miss out on anything not goin to discoasis. I went there on my birthday and it was that day I realized theres nothing more important in a rink than the floor. As amazing as the ambience was, it did not make up for the terrible plastic floor that all these rinks in NY are riddled with. You missed out on probably the only one you wouldve enjoyed lol, hopefully you could make it out to prospect park next time

Yeah that’s the bad part about nyc they don’t have a lot of rinks. The rink in prospect park might be good in Brooklyn and I’m not sure about the new one that opened up

You didn't make it to Riverbank state park? 145th Broadway in Harlem???

They are chief keef shorts but they only sell a limited stock at a time and never re release them

Disco Oasis floor is even more slippery and UNEVEN! OMG it was so horrible. You can't even "let the dog off the leash." Great music. To me it was a solid 2. Prospect park is weird and felt fake/superficial. UGH. At least the floor is better. Rate it about a 4. The rinks near me suck too. So hard when all your favorite rinks close down. Sad.

I NEED THAT CAMERA, anyone knows the brand and model?

If you use the proper wheels on plastic tiles it's not slippery. Change your wheels.

That first rink was so sad. It looks about the size of half a basketball court and seems to only serve as a tourist trap. They need to do better.

anyone know what to look for when buying new inline skates?

I've never even heard of a plastic rink and the big apple full of them. If you fall on it do you bounce at all?

You forgot the one inside the old salvation army building in brooklyn and the most famous one of all in central park in skaters circle every weekend spring summer and fall runned by the central park dance skaters association check out the many youtube videos. Do you're do diligence and research before making a vid. I almost forgot and you skate on inlines they have on or near 72nd street place just for you guys with cones set up if you are a real inliner you would know what they're for i took pics of the competition they held there. If you are going to make a vid of skating rinks anywhere don't insult you're viewers by wearing inline instead of quad skates that's what's making a comeback not inline skating!🙃

Hey future squid, can you give me the lotto numbers for tonight?
