That was the best, longest grind I have ever seen in real life. Not a video game, although I wish I still cld play it bc #TonyHawk ProSk8r was where its at, representing 1999-2002!
Habeev07 The X Games are a bit ugly though, but still it would be a statement. I love all action sports and I there is simply no reason for not to include it.
Nah, theres other big events that show blading in a good light, Huge contests of all the pros a ew times a year, Bitter Cold Show Down and The Blading Cup to name a couple. Theres also Nitro Circus showcasing blades on the mega ramp. We're pretty happy where we are, sure we dont make millions on sponsorship deals, but we're happy with our tight community.
I’m friends with Richie and he still skates almost everyday when the weather permits (but we live near the beach so outside of the rainy season that’s all the damn time). He might not be as agile as he was 10 years ago but he still is doing shit to blow people’s minds (especially skitching behind cars in a country where 99% of people not only have never even seen shit like that but they couldn’t even imagine it…..but I’m not gonna blow up his spot with specific details of his location). Anyway, point being - once it’s in your blood it’s hard to get out. Even though it maybe waning in popularity it’s something that will never escape you (I’ll skate with him playing pickup hockey but I can’t street skate - my skills are only there for hockey)
He makes falling look like it didnt hurt him at all, when if I did that I would be out for a year! I fell backwards on my butt on a half pipe a year ago, and my back pain is still rampant as on the day it happened. I am alot older now (almost 37, but have the mentality of a teenager) I seem to dream bigger than my reality can actually grasp, but I am still learning and loving to sk8 as much as I can. I just got into aggressive sk8ing, and so glad I did. Its alot different from inline rollerblading, but both are fun in their own right. Xoxo~Kate aka #LilBlady
So many great shots in this edit. Love the opening grind on the Granville street bridge. And the backside at Stanley park where Richie slides out of the frame and you're not worried because you know he's got it.
This guy is king! I've BEEN WAITING for an aggressive skate like his model to come out since the 90's. A speed skate with grind spaces, as oppsed to the awkward bulk of aggressive skates that I had to get used to. Which honestly made it feel like a different sport. They could grind but there is 0 cruising power with fat, heavy skates, and 55mm wheels.
Welcome to aggressive inline =) And if JSRF is your all-time favorite game like it is mine, check out these skates. abc7.com/shopping/rocketskates-offer-motorized-version-of-roller-skates/451888/ They're basically like the early-model prototype skates of the skates in JSRF, or ATs from Air Gear
good video! lots of this filmed on the west end I see... the Davy street locals must really appreciate the blading skills! Is it hard to grab the front wheels while your rolling??!
Ana Rui Fonseca There is no differentiation between men's or women's for this specific skate. I recommend checking online some shops such as aggressivemall, rollerwarehouse or shop-task. Good luck skating!
Typically smaller wheels (although i believe these came with 76mm wheels as opposed to the normal 56-60mm) and space between wheels 2 and 3 (if using 4 wheels) for grinding. "Soulplates" on the instep/outstep of the skate for grinding.
HMM amazing how this just popped up in my feed. Skating was the best part of my life, glad I was young in the 90's when roller blades were the shit, going to A.S.A. and N.I.S.S,. skating with the legends. Such an amazing time. If only I was still made out of rubber.
Shadow would be proud
That first grind reminded me so hard of Jet Set Radio Future. Awesome.
Bro I thought the same thing
Taking me back 😭😭😭😭😭
Yup! Just grinding forever on any surface 😂
Yeah I just came from tumblr put Let Mom Sleep from jet Grind Radio on it
Or sonic adventure 2.
Stage 4:
Radical Highway
1st Mission: Break through the besieging military!
Still probably one of the best rollerblading edit ever made
Wow, thought a grind that long was only possible in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater!
pro skater 2
***** Yep, that grind is longer, but this one is more exciting to watch.

Don't forget about Winterclash. International connection! :)
I'm mesmerized by the skyscraper slowly going by in that first shot.
Seriously. Epic.
You would overdose if you drove to Toronto on the Gardiner Express highway man
Absolutely Incredible...Richie you have pushed blading to new heights!
That back ufo inspired me to start skating! 7 years on I’m still riding, met a great group of friends and currently run a city skate group! 🙏🏻
Are you still skating? How old were you when you started?

He's got such a fun creative style!
that first rail is ridiculously long, sick skates
I was never into inline skates...but I am now!
Richie Eisler makes it look so easy. Even when he falls he looks like, "I meant to do that."

Everybody loves Richie!
Talent? Yes. It's great to find such an amazing gem of a video.
I broke my ankles 3 times while watching this and laying on my bed.
This is literally my favorite video ever, the music matches so well
Two of my favourite things in one video. André (3000) Benjamin and Vancouver (Vancity). Gave me the chills! 👌
This is the video that got me into inline skating!

All I could think of while watching this was "Looks like someone has been playing Sonic Adventure 2." XD
Yet again Richie Eisler is just killing it! Such a king!
The first grind to this day to me is crazy

This edit's still incredible.

Dayuum air gear is my fav anime too tho ^^
Thundrblade is actually way faster
One of the best to ever do it and a true gentlemen. Salute king 🤴
The video work is just as steezy as the skating. Well done gents
Richie the best!!!!! Nice style and move! :)
I dont skate, but I love the videos, those Guys are Like ninjas, Always when I see an inline skater I think... "a ninja"
My man really grinding on rails like Sonic.
that was absolutely AMAZING!
2013: Jet Set Radio
2021: Sonic Adventure 2
Wow!!! That is insane man, really nice to watch
This never gets old
I think this will be the first rollerblading video on youtube to hit 1M views.
Almost there!
Never did
Nobody it made it
What will you say now? ahaha
So Good… Eisler just keeps getting better and better.

Radical Highway IRL
the ultimate skater.
"I'm the coolest" - the ultimate lifeform.
Music : Drama - The Art of Storytellin' Part 4
Had to put the sound on mute, but some of the best skating I've ever seen! Holy Jeeeeeessssusssss!
EPIC stuff. Just WOW!
1:34 I used to think you could only do stair runs with 8 wheels... apparently I was wrong, you just have to be a complete monster
That first grind is like:
Stage 04
*RADICAL* 🔴
*HIGHWAY*
1st Mission:
Break through the
Besieging military
Objective
- Break through the besieging military!
What if someone stuck some gum on the rail?
There would be gum on the rail.
Oliver Lardner yeah, i think we need sherlock on the case
Rolling around at the speed of sound!
JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOO
This man is a video game.
0:08 SONIC SPEED! GOTTA GO FAST!!!
Loaf
Connor McWilliams Good evening fellow loaf.
Stage 4:
Radical Highway
good video! lots of this filmed on the west end I see... the Davy street locals must really appreciate the blading skills! Is it hard to grab the front wheels while your rolling??!
Rocket grab? Depends what your body is going while grabbing. Can be easy, can be pretty heavy with spins.
🎶 🎵 We Cruising on a Radical highway 🎶 🎵
really makes me miss skating... maybe i'll get some new blades, can someone tell me about the model used in the video?
Last frame in the video shows them. USD Carbon Free Richie Eisler III's.
Imi sorry if it is stupid question, but is there sex differentiation in models?
Ana Rui Fonseca
There is no differentiation between men's or women's for this specific skate. I recommend checking online some shops such as aggressivemall, rollerwarehouse or shop-task. Good luck skating!
are rollerblades cool again?
They should be. My world was shattered in 2000 at age 8 when I couldnt be caught rollerblading anymore lol
Rollerblade if you wanna. Embrace the underdog status. Everyone who waited for skateboarding to become mainstream is an ultra pussy.
Richie and Danny make a good team.
Edit was dope including the music
This is fucking awesoomee! Skate to create. freestyle blading for life Go Richie!
First trick reminded me so much of JSR
This whole video is 🔥
Love the sound of grinding
To anyone looking for the song it's Outkast - Da Art of Storytellin' Part 4.
THANKS
Amazing……. what kind of skates are these? How are they different from regular inline skates..?
Typically smaller wheels (although i believe these came with 76mm wheels as opposed to the normal 56-60mm) and space between wheels 2 and 3 (if using 4 wheels) for grinding. "Soulplates" on the instep/outstep of the skate for grinding.
Closest thing tô shadow's air shoes
Air gear, everyone?
That first grind was so awesome
Is rollerblading the air guitar of extreme sports?
HMM amazing how this just popped up in my feed. Skating was the best part of my life, glad I was young in the 90's when roller blades were the shit, going to A.S.A. and N.I.S.S,. skating with the legends. Such an amazing time. If only I was still made out of rubber.
Great camerawork
