Joey Mantia

Retired Olympic Medalist and World Champion speed skater living my best life making skating content

I've spent the last 32 years of my life skating. From 1992 when I put my first pair of skates on until 2022 when I retired from speed skating, I raced in 3 Olympics, won 31 World Titles, earned an Olympic bronze with my teammates in the pursuit, broke some world records, and traveled the world doing what I loved

Now the dream is to skate every major city in the world and share the experience with you. If I get to teach a few things I've learned along the way, that's icing on the cake

    8:05 bro, I am barely maneuvering on the bike road, and you are going much faster then me, with all these quick changes, breaking... I really don't get it how easily you do everything that. I still haven't learned a double push. 😢😢😢 My both legs are thiner then one of yours, I just cannot believe it how easily you pull up them... This is an art and I enjoy watching you.

    Awesome, looks like at the end of your outer push you just don't make it all the way. Meaning your skate isn't completely sideways pushing and therefore doesn't come all the way in the straight line so to speak. What's your meaning on that compared to say Bart Swings?

  • @JoeyMantiaOfficial
    @JoeyMantiaOfficial19 сағат бұрын

    There's multiple ways to use that outer. Here im just sitting on it to preload the rest of the push. If I was trying to get everything out of every movement I would try to make much cleaner lines as you mentioned. It's also not easy to find a flow holding a heavy camera on the end of a selfie stick (dji pocket 3). I'm not exactly sure what Bart's perspective is but I imagine we have similar thoughts on the basic foundation, could be a fun youtube video to chat about it with him.

    @@JoeyMantiaOfficial thanks for your reply Joey. I'm by no means a pro and to old for records😂😊, but do teach iceskating on say an amateur level, so I'm always looking at anything about technique like (your) videos about it. Used streetskating purely as summertraining for my ice technique and started double pushing just few years ago. Also tried to film that noobstyle, so know what you mean with holding a camera on a stick 😆. Surely would be a very nice topic to see a tutorial about this with Bart, wishing all the best to you!

    Awesome shots! (not your finest editing though, it's better to watch without sound) But it looks like your left foot is landing a lot closer to your right than the opposite? When you land your right, your left looks pushed out farther already. Or is it just an illusion of the camera angle?

  • @JoeyMantiaOfficial
    @JoeyMantiaOfficial19 сағат бұрын

    how would you edit it? genuine question I'd say even at my very best I never had perfectly symmetrical technique (i think you should strive for it though), but it does get exposed a lot more here while holding the camera and part of it could also be the angle which is never perfectly centered

    Interesting, I noticed on the last part of your push, more so on your right foot, your skate appears to fall in more than the majority of the push. Does this in anyway take away from the power put to the ground? Would it be more beneficial to keep it more upright or stop the push earlier? Look at me questioning a world champ and Olympian whaapshhh ✋️ but Def thanks if you could help me understand . Great video.

  • @JoeyMantiaOfficial
    @JoeyMantiaOfficialКүн бұрын

    for sure that right collapses more than it should- a combo of the frame not being in the best spot (I just put that frame on this boot last week without marking the old frame position) and a lack of strength in my ankle control from not skating with any real intent on my inlines since 2012. In my opinion, the best-case scenario is that you are able to keep your wheels as an extension of your lower leg, meaning they don't collapse at all during the push, but with bigger wheels and lower boots that's definitely easier said than done

  • @TigerRacingProducts

    @JoeyMantiaOfficial ok cool, makes sense. Thought I was going about it all wrong. This all mimicks motorcycle road racing, I know you would absolutely love it, it's super technical exactly like the skates and the pressure on the wheels of skates. On a track no street though. 2012! Dang. Totally understand keeping the wheels as an extension of your lower leg. 💪 appreciate the videos and input.

    Love the vids! Could you make a quick video on high-tops (Ankle supports) vs.Speedskating boots? I notice you're rocking the high tops here and Speedskates in your previous NYC vids. I'm fine in short-track boots, but I can't make the transition from high tops to inline speedskates, even with the Rollerblade E2. No idea why - I have the ankle strength. I just feel locked in to proper speedskating form and I don't have the endurance to maintain it through a long skate or on rough / hilly terrain.
