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

Those hips don't lie 🥵
So well articulated Joey, Thank you
👀🇧🇷🛼🛼🚀🫡✔️🫵🏃♂️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 bravo
Love the soundtrack and the energy!!!
maisoneuve park is sweet to build up speed. Also that st-denis hill is good slow burner :D
Thanks for the high quality content as always, My Respect!!!!!!!
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.
that boy fast
Wow
something like a dance, something like art
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
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?
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!
I bet there is a cartoon cutout of you skating on the front door of your house :’)
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?
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
@@JoeyMantiaOfficial Sorry for the note about the editing. The first time I watched the music wasn't continuous and jumped around. Now I've watched it again, and I don't hear it no more. So nothing about your editing to worry about.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful video, thanks 🤩
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.
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
@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.
@@TigerRacingProducts I learned to ride on liter bikes, never hit the track though. I'm sure it would be a blast
I’m imagining these skates feeling like hockey’s and speed skates mixed into 1. Looking forward to try this style
work of art.
Can really get a good look at the double push compression in this video. I think I’m starting to get it. Thanks 🤙🏼
Yes yes yes i need a pear😢
This is by accident a perfect crossovers tutorial for sure 😂. 🔥 And what can i say about the perfect technique brother! Thanks for the high quality content as always
I'm working on getting on a wooden floor to make a bunch of crossover tutorials, I just can't show it correctly on asphalt, it's way too slick to actually lean hard against the skates
Maravilloso.
I can hook you up with some of the Mantia Simmons if you're desperate for skates.
UAU !!! i LOVE THE FACE OF THE BIKERS LOOKING AT YOU PASSING HHAHAHAH
I have comments , I will keep them to myself because they're not appropriate , but they're all good 😊
😅😅😅NewYork Dream come ture
Nice to meet you on KZread. I've been inline skating as a hobby for about 20 years. I'm currently 42 years old and it's been a year since I learned speed skating properly. Not much has passed. I want to run on flat ground at 100 km/h. That's my dream. Health and. I am writing this because I saw your video while training my mind and body and thought it would be helpful. Have fun and have a good time

regarding leaning forward: When i am leaning forward, my shoulders hurt :( Maybe, because i have untrainined shouldes and working a lot on pc. But do you have a tip, to avoid shoulder pain?
Watch out for the potholes
Joy é o melhor ✌️
This is pretty cool. I saw the description of your channel, and I wanna see a top 5 city of where you find it more fun or safe to inline skate.
What’s the boot and frame setup here? Bont carbons?
i gave the bonts up a while ago, they were nice, but I'm on Huang boots and NSC bigfoot frames in this video
@@JoeyMantiaOfficial may I ask why you switched over? I’m finding the bont carbon vibrations super tough, but it’s a new boot for me
Where can I get a slide board lie yours?
This guy skates.
Can this improve my badminton jump smash performance? I hate the gym!
Как же вам повезло , шикарные покрытия в городе ,отличные подшипники и компания ❤ привет от любителей inline skates России 🤙🏽
I still cant imagine how is that even possible,nice speed bro🔥🔥🔥🔥
Quad Zilla every day is legs Day 🔥
Love my evos with 110 ❤
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.
Thanks man, it's on the list
16:37 nobody will mention that black van completely wrong way in a park? 😳
lamemusic
What’s the skates name😊
When I first saw the title of this video I thought to myself the area by the Olympic stadium is perfect. As soon as you head up towards Rosemont it's insane how rough some of the roads are.

How do you get such quad gains, man? Slide the workout1!
it's called being lean
