I have been watching a lot of blading videos lately and I don't see how the sport could just die off like it did, it seems like more of an art form to me than other action sports, good riders are so fluid and stylish, I think the sport needs to make a comeback
I do cause I was there. We acted like a bunch of idiots riding the wave and pissed off all other extreme sports. Sucks but still rad see it still alive.
@@jluisqg Well, skateboarders definitely gave us a hard time. Aggressive skating was seen as "too easy" and that skateboarding was the next best thing. Honestly, if you ask me, I think much of the stigma that comes from roller skating is its history. The stigma is that roller skating is an "old timey" activity and that skateboarding is for the young and hip, despite the fact that many youngsters partook in aggressive inline during the 90s. It became a trend to skateboard, and wherever there's a trend, people will follow. It was the same case when roller skating was trendy in the 90s, lol.
@@CuddlyJon This is a very good insight, fellow… can´t deny its very low popularity, matter of fact the majority of people may prefer skateboarding than aggressive blading… I reckon both activities” have its particular “level of complexity”… though, at the end of the day people shouldn´t underestimate any other sport which may not be their favorite… each sport demands something” which the other may not…
@@CuddlyJon IMHO I don't think it's about it being old timey or anything, as someone who literally grew through that transition, once a skater and then a skateboarder skating simply became known as lame... it just simply was harder to look cool in the skatepark on a pair of skates than it was with a skateboard. Skateboarding had some other advantages people liked like being able to bail in the event of a failed trick, not having to get cramped feet wearing skates all day and the added bonus of being able to now show off shoes... things like that. Then the fact that skateboards had more room for design and customization, the fact that you can actually do tricks of course by flipping the board in the air instead of only spins and grabs with skates absent of anything to grind on. I also remember "Fruit Loop Boots" was was harsher of an insult than the "Wood pusher" skaters were able to come up with back to skateboarders......Skateboarding simply beat skating out. Also you could get a quality skateboard set up the pros used for 100 bucks or even less sometimes and from there always have something to work with so you don't have to get a full set again (trucks, board, wheels, etc), whereas I remember there were less skates, and there was a huge gap between the crappy stuff and what pros were using which were 2, 3 sometimes even 400 bucks. Don't get me wrong I love both and as an athletic person I was always better at skating than I ever got at skateboarding lol
Man!! This video put a huge smile on my face!! GREAT Style, skillz man, Love your energy! Perfect shots, edit and music. Its one of the best rollerblading video which i saw in my life. Thank you ! Sem
i dont even roll anymore, so i admit i had'nt heard of this huy until now. but this guy is just WOW. blew me away, everything he does just looks slick as fuck and you can tell he loving it throughout the whole section. made my day watching this =)
Coming back to rollerblading at 35 after 22 years away, this is my favorite rollerblader. (I like the long grinds) Back in the 90's i couldn't name anyone as i got into skateboarding pretty quick after rollerblading stopped being cool. I wish this industry was more developed back then.
Man, I remember when I used to "aggressive skate", back before I even began skateboarding. Back in the 4th-7thish grade. Memories with my friends....great times, this video brought back a lot of those thoughts. All I can remember is some skates called "Oshmans" or something my friend had that I thought were the best thing at the time, used to sell them at Academy...
hahahahahaaha :D the grind when he was drunk and then fell ahahaha so funny man :D met him 2008 @ the winterclash in Germany. Very cool dude! Wish him all the best
these are the best, everything, sound, dialogue , music, skating, if there is reincarnation, and I could pick the pieces, I might take his ability and creation
2:02 - 2:05: 360 switch top mizou 360 out ?¿?¿? I never see a blader do that combo with much more elegancy and iron it as if i were a dancer fucking perfect, fcking amazing

2021 baby!!!
C´mon blading is so cool... what happens is that people has always denied it... such a very underrated sport.
It hasn't always been denied. It was super popular in the 90s. Roller skating in general is just a yoyo sport. Swings in and out of popularity.
@@CuddlyJon indeed, you are right... still cannot grasp why too much changing, though...

Damn, from The Notebook to this! 🔥
If I had to choose one edit to represent how badass rollerblading is, this would have to be it.
4:44-4:53 is seriously one of the best hammers I've seen in a while.....to make it from end to end like that across a bridge is just godlike.
One long trick looks just much more stylish than ten switchups. awesome part
One of the most underrated ever!!! He doesn't get the recognition he deserves!
moving to australia seems like best thing ever happened to this guy.
He is even more awesome since then!
Yo this dude is like my favorite
Man!! This video put a huge smile on my face!! GREAT Style, skillz man, Love your energy!
Perfect shots, edit and music.
Its one of the best rollerblading video which i saw in my life. Thank you !
Sem
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas! At the beginning 🌚 love it!
That last stair set at 5:13 is godly.
this guy just makes it look soo easy all his grinds look completely effortless
i dont even roll anymore, so i admit i had'nt heard of this huy until now. but this guy is just WOW. blew me away, everything he does just looks slick as fuck and you can tell he loving it throughout the whole section.
made my day watching this =)

This skating gives me goose bumps!!!!!!!!!!
Just got to the end and I think the real hero is the cameraman for even remotely keeping up! His speed is nuts!
Love his style damn
Still watching in 2019 and what a professional video!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

those true spin sweatys though...holy 🐄
Excellent Filming, Song Selection and The Damn Skating 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That beats everything 👍
He has so much speed when he is skating. Its insane to me
i think he said when he played SKATE with Haffey that Richie finds it easier to do his tricks with lots of speed.
that comeback has already started
mind blowing skill sets!
hahahahahaaha :D the grind when he was drunk and then fell ahahaha so funny man :D met him 2008 @ the winterclash in Germany. Very cool dude! Wish him all the best
Can't believe I didn't find this vid until today. fucking sick
these are the best, everything, sound, dialogue , music, skating, if there is reincarnation, and I could pick the pieces, I might take his ability and creation
He goes for it big time! Great vid! 👍👍👍
that sample from fear and loathing ... great edit! love it!
So amazing.
The best.
The song is Caribou - Melody Day
thanks
Oh man that last sequence is amazing rolling wise, but also good job capturing it while rolling. Good stuff
That last line was fucking insane. He just kept getting more and more speed and still landing awesome shit. Wow.
Richie my hero
Loved this section. The whole DVD was ace!
Great stuff Dom.
an awesome edit, i love the moment when he slides that ledge above the river haha :]
He is doing the NICEST back Royals
Still here in 2022!
really good movie...
UNO DE LOS MEJORES !
This is so awesome!
love how he charges everything!
Epicness
If Bladers are the ninjas of the street, Richie must be the king ninja.
Still such a sick section!
Amazing!!!

Imagine missing the grind at 5:02 😯
Genius

I think either this or CJ Wellsmore had the best part in Vine St.
Very strong section
Wow!

Nicely done. Some of these spots are PRIME.
He looks like Ryan Gosling, his switch is as good as his perfected regular and he has perfect style. Steeze King.
2:02 - 2:05: 360 switch top mizou 360 out ?¿?¿? I never see a blader do that combo with much more elegancy and iron it as if i were a dancer fucking perfect, fcking amazing
