I did a 5k on the track. I don’t remember exactly but it was between 18 and 19 min, it was very unimpressive. So I never tried to inline skate on a running track again. My hockey playing got a lot better after I started running. I became one of the fastest skaters on the ice which upped my game. Hockey players should definitely get running fitness.

Blading is gonna start popping up at skateparks in a big way. With Covid the world saw a shortage of new skates. All skate companies are booming and production is being stepped up. Its cool again to skate. People forgot how fun it is. Personally I been at the skatepark when its dry out and blowing people minds with all the spins and grinds I can do. I already got some skatebored kids to start blading. Blading what never gone just put on the back burner because the digital age.

Aggressive inline is back in a big way with COVID. I busted out my old blades and found I needed new ones. I got some sweet blades and been hitting up the skatepark.

When Nick Symmonds is rollerblading anything is Possible.

this is so awesome!

I had a similar idea because I had knee problems from running last year and skating was less impact on the knees so I attempted to break some running world records myself (granted it was on asphalt instead of a track) but it was actually very easy. I skated a full marathon in under two hours. I skated a mile in 3:41. The surprising part is my running abilities are barely above average. PB running mile of 5:04. Currently 5:30. PB half marathon 1:32, most recent (pre injury) 1:38, and never run a full marathon.

Hi nick, love ur videos, just wanted to ask if u have any tips for the mile. I'm trying to run sub 5.30 ish. I know you probably wont see this but anyway. Keep up the great videos!!!

Dang great job nick!!!

I am going to try this today on a similar track

He still would have beat the record if he was good at skating.... He just isn't really a good skater.... not trying to be mean... nothing against him.... to be fair, I guess he is about average in terms os normal people who buy roller blades... but not even close as good a skater as someone who played in a good competitive hockey league... clearly his league wasn't that as is evidenced by his lack of skating ability....

@@gokublack5620 I played years upon years ago, haven't been playing, can still skate... I'm not being a dick, I'm being direct and honest... his lack of current ability in 800m is a result of condition, not technique. Therefore, a very different thing. I'm not chastising him for not being good at skating... I'm simply pointing out to the original commenter that the content creator isn't as good at skating as he claims to be in the video. And that if he was as good as he claimed to be, the results would be better. Stop simping on him... Just because he is an olympian doesn't mean he gets the right to overstate his ability in public without criticism. PS: I get it... he is trying to get views... and being boisterous is good for that... It would be much less entertaining to see him say "I'm not very good really, but I did play for a while, so I am probably better than the average Joe." Boring.... But still, if you say you are good at something and then suck at it on video 10 seconds later, prepare to get called out in the comment section....

You can definitely skate a sub 3 mile. The main issue is that you were using indoor wheels on a concrete-like surface, which are some of the worse wheels that you can have and is likely why you weren’t gaining much speed. If you wanted to push this to the absolute limits, then you could have bought a pair of speedskates with race bearings, which are much faster than hockey skates, but require an almost perfect form that’s extremely hard to master just for a single KZread video. Overall, another amazing video Nick!

Every time I think nic must've run out of ideas.... Another banger

IKR. Blading is dope. Just needs some aggressive inline instead of those speed skates XD.

Love your enthusiasm 👍 If you really want to blast a mile on blades, take a look at speed skaters and try to emulate what they do. It’s quite different than hockey skating. Your form is kind of in between the two styles and you could get way more glide (+30%) by striding more side to side, keeping your weight to the rear of your blades, quiet upper body (especially on straightaways you don’t need your arms much at all), kind of “falling” back on to your leg in the air , keeping a more aero tuck, and getting the quads to do more efficient work by just letting them keep you upright and smoothly slotting the free leg into position.

Keep up the great work
