Todd and Joey just personify what rollerblading is all about, having fun and mucking about with your mates! I don’t care what anybody says (including themselves) Todd and Joey are two of THE most skilled rollerbladers on the planet!!
MB is love. MB is life. Seriously, I love these two & the fun & creative energy which they bring to rollerblading. Who wants to be conventional anyway?
This is so good! Thanks Tom. Got into blading in my 40s (sure I did the fitness thing and some inline hockey back in the late 90s when I was 20-something) but thanks to Todd, Joey, and Bill Stoppard I am now an obsessed 51-year-old blader who experiments with aggressive, urban, hockey, slalom etc, skating. I'm also Canadian so I gotta support the boys!
Thank you mate really appreciate the kind words. I believe doing it all, like you do, is called GOING FULL CANADIAN. Glad you're out there enjoying it!
I remember in college back in 2008 I had just grown out of my skates and was embarking on a new life of bicycling, but I happened upon Mushroom Blading Volume 1. Over the next decade I fell out of the rollerblading scene entirely, but everyone once in a while I'd be in conversation and would bring up this video, showing non-believers that there was such a thing as Mushroom Blading and it was weirder than they imagined. Coming back to blading in the past few years, MB is the reason I found out about Wizard Skating and became obsessed. MB's UA-cam has been a treasure trove, one of the most amazing historical collections of rollerblading content anyone could ever hope for. If I'm ever feeling uninspired, I scroll deep into the catalogue of videos and find something new from Joey and Todd, and it fixes me right up. Immense gratitude to these two titans of rollerblading who have shared so much with the community. ❤ ❤
Yes! After spending a lot of time with their videos trying to put this one together, I’ve been left more motivated and inspired than ever. Made me realise how much I love rollerblading. Thankful for it all. They are proper historians of the inline skating
Love this and love MB! As yet-another “played some hockey as a kid. haven’t skated in 20+ years” guy finding the joy in rolling, the MB guys have really shown me the depth and breadth of what I’d been missing. There’s a much joy to be had on wheels and their love for it is contagious. More like this!
MB videos were what got me into rollerblading for good. When i started i found traditional aggressive skating vids boring since i didn't understand the tricks and urban skating videos were just people skating around, which i could do on my own so there was no point in watching it...But mushroom blading volume 1 looked so "alien", so out of the box it intrigued me...And then on Big Wheels 2, with the Leon Basin ender, the seed was planted in my mind and i got completely hooked on blading.
mushroom blading was one of my favs back in the dayz and quite influencial regarding opening space beyond my horizons of blading and film editing... dustin latimers "quality" was my first DVD and also one of the vids opening my mind for the limitless freedom in street blading.
I've been wondering what mushroom blading is. I'm pretty new to the community. Thanks so much, Tom! And thanks to our forefathers 🙏🏼 Blading is so much fun! I can't wait to get to a level that I can start doing this.
I fell in love with the Mushroom blading channel because it was the first time i saw someone perfectly showcase the type of skating i wanted to learn. It was like flow/wizard skating and aggressive skating had a baby. I feel like a lot of aggressive skaters care more about the grinds than the actual rolling and skating, and mushroom blading is one of the few channels that finds that perfect balance.
Amazing video yet again! Seriously your channel is slowly becoming a great resource for the history of rollerblading. At least for people like me, I’m old and started skating during the pandemic like many did, I don’t know any of the history of it. I simply like to skate. I’m learning a lot watching.
i loooooovvvee everything about mushroom blading! im always quoting their videos telling ppl to watch!! i fall asleep to their commentaries its just the best rollerblade content out ther. its so fun
Mushroom has always been my favourite. It's a Rollerblading thing that doesn't feel like it's LARPing Skateboarding culture, it's truly something you only find in Blading, super weird, crazy creative and borderline psychedelic. There is just something so atmospheric and zen about their videos as well. It's like a really smooth chill Mushroom trip.
I grew up with roller blading being perceived as trendy and silly. I immersed myself in surfing, snowboarding and mountain biking. Now I look at mushroom blading and really respect what they've done with it. Something to learn from in life, IMO. In my youthful desire to "buck the mainstream" I ironically became mainstream in some ways of thinking. I never thought I'd be watching a roller blading video that shows people on a far more radical level than many things I've ever done, but that was due to my failure of imagination. I'm always learning new ways to approach life and attempt to learn from mistakes. Otherwise I will stagnate instead of grow (like mushrooms).
This SCREAMS Jet Set Radio Future! I love it. Amazing video, amazing commentary, amazing clips. Absolutely entertaining and educational thanks for the smashing content! keep up the good work man 👍
Tom, You NAILED this brother. Love that you talked about how much courage it took for the MB boys to inject their style / incredible skating into the lifeblood of our sport - right when we needed it most. Great edit. Great work. 🙏✌️
Thanks for the kind words. It amazing that rollerblading could suffer some much from skateboarding but then also do exactly the same thing to a style within it. I have so much respect for Todd and Joey, for staying true to what they loved
I knew how to skate for a long time but when I start rollerblading with a trick mindset I would never imagine the technicalities and creativity you can put in this form of art. And thank you MB you inspire me every time im on wheels!
This is what makes me want to take blading more seriously. I'm really just a beginner but I love the idea of being able to use anything as a playground. I'll admit, I'm a little curious if I should've went straight for a pair of aggressive skates instead of the traditional ones, but I gotta start somewhere.
Exactly that, the world is a big playground, get tucked into it. I think start with traditional ones is a good way to find your feet and see if it's for you. That's how i started
I completely agree with Tom. I started with traditional ones 2 years ago, and now I'm transitioning into aggressive. I'm glad I started with traditional skates and worked my way up.
Funny story. When I started skating, I went to Bayamon, Puerto Rico to visit family and went to San Juan to skate. After a while, I found this great little ledge to grind. Little while later, I met a skater who spoke English and was from NYC too. We had a great time skating and that was it. Soon after getting back to New York, Mad Beef came out and the kid I was skating with in San Juan turned out to be Dave Ortega from FR Wheels. Oddly enough, he was a pro inline skater but he was a sick biker! Years later, I was at Millennium Skatepark in Brooklyn skateboarding, and who shows up, Dave Ortega, on his bike, ripping the park!
Cirque du sol eh? was like a validation video for my group. We always just skated what was fun and what we enjoyed. Along comes this video and its like, this is what we do! Youd get comments on edits like "you should do it this way" etc and its like why? Its fun this way as well. They were my biggest inspiration.
I remember everyone hating on these brothers bad! They were a big influence on me so whenever i skated I would emulate them and got shitted on bad. Everyone constantly told me "Yo stop mushroom blading!" "Mushroom blading is trash" whatever I just did me like they did them. Big ups To the Mushroom blading brotha's! Todd is My guy!
Good on you dude for sticking to what you like. You are correct, they got a lot of stick for the way they skated but it didn’t stop them and I’d say the whole of rollerblading is glad they didn’t. So cool to see the impact they have had
Great video again Tom. I've been a fan of the MB guys for a few years now. I was in and out of skating for quite a few years but always watched some skating videos now and again to keep up to date with it. It did get a bit stale for a while with the focus being drop rails. I stumbled on a MB video one day, I think it was one of the solo Saturday edits and it just transfixed me and gave me the motivation to want to skate again
Absolutely love MB ... Crack me up every time and the skating is on another level. Absolutely one of the reasons im back on wheels again and buying up all sorts of set ups .. love the wheels and merch too ❤❤❤
Beautifully done. Love this tribute. MB continually inspires me to keep pushing my boundaries and find creative flow. It's liberating in a world that all too often gets stuck in rigid paradigms.
I wasnts big on Todd and Joey at first. I kinda saw there skating as all garnish, no substance. But as time went by, I started appreciating what they were doing. Rollerblading isn't a big enough subculture to be picky. We should love and support everyone out there.
I’d argue that it’s always been substance with a focus on the garnish. You got your Philly cheesesteak hammers and you’ve got your Michelin star mushrooms
I’ve been watching Joey and Todd since buddy fuck whaterver… always loved what they are about and the fun.. the knife thing has been burned into my head since early 2000s because of it. I’m so happy that it is more mainstream now and can see the influence in aggressive clips.. thank you Joey and Todd.
@@TomMoyse Excatly. They continued to do what they enjoyed nearly 30 years, but were noticed 20 years after they started, and paved the road to a sub-genre.
I'll admit that I was one of those guys who hated on Todd and Joey 10 or so years ago. I've since completely changed my tune. These guys are truly skilled and having a great time. The things they do on skates are so impressive. I could never in my life do any of that. I'm pretty much just a "grinder blader" to quote iRollerboot. But it's all about having fun. I have fun with my style and Todd and Joey have fun with their style.
Yea they’ve not had an easy ride which make it even more expressive that they stuck with their vision. It’s all come around now. I think grinder Blader might actually be one of their terms, it’s been thrown around for a long time
not gonna lie. I wish I had seen this back when I was roller blading. I kinda did but I guess I didn't know it since I was skating in the 90s and was just influenced by what I saw people doing then. I always liked the slower more technical stuff.
@@TomMoyse to be honest, bro I thought mushroom bleeding with you just take a bunch of shrooms and then you go skate. I swear to God that’s what I thought it was 😂😂
Was worried you weren't going to get to Nick Riggle. Frankly the whole vid could've been the Riggle crew history. I skated with them for years in Santa Rosa, CA. Incredible times.
Have watched a s- ton of their content and been inspired to grab frames, so this is not meant to be disparaging. But does anyone else feel the constant lack of resolution as their feet stall on leaving the ground? Like a rap song with the breaths removed. When they finally get all wheels off the floor at once is like head above water gulping for air.. lol no doubt this one really is just me.
The year is 2023, men have periods now, crocs are one of the most popular shoes, fanny packs are in style and rollerblading is making a comeback. What a time to be alive.
@@MushroomBlading Whoops my bad, they are the pants 90a. Yeah, just didn't work for me. I was hoping for an UC 86a experience or Iqon 88a experience. I put my best bearing spinners but still seemed like I worked hard to move compared to other wheels. I just tried Adapt 90a and they share a similar attribute...slow. I noticed bounce to be bigger with UC and Iqon, maybe that's why? The Iqon 88a is probably the best wheels I've ever used so far when it comes to roll and speed.
@@carnerageno ah yes that’s makes sense now. That’s why we switched the pants to 87a. We discontinued the 90a pants and mugs. 90a was good for slides but 87a performed way better all around.
My opinion is. Compared to skateboarding, aggressive inline can look boooring as fuck (nothing but big jumps and spinning slides)...mushroom blading, wizard skating crossed with aggressive skating on the other hand is waaaaay more fun looking and more "free" than skateboarding
I disagree with the first part but totally agree the Mushroomblading mentality and approach to skating, which lends itself to wizard skating amazingly, brings so much to aggressive rollerblading
@Tom Moyse I went a bit harsh on the first part. My point is that any extreme sport that gets on the "serious" becomes less "extreme" sport. Skateboarding, for example, 80s yay, who can do bigger hippy jumps. Then Mullen got bored and started GOOFING around. Now all flips flacks thanks to not being serious. Being silly and able to express yourself freely is a big part of extreme sports. (Example Danny Beers 3 min clip, every "trick makes me AAWWWW, WWOOOW, WAIT, WHAT, WHY, BROOO THAT SICK HOW EVEN AND WHY, gets people both amused and crack up in the same time. For me, at least. It's more fun to watch, but that's just me, each to its own.
But maybe it's because I'm a beginner, and it makes it OK. Watching them fool around makes me feel less awkward, not knowing any tricks yet, I can always start goofing around. Yesterday I was trying a medspin on to a curb shiiiit that's scary couldn't jump it just yet
I love your channel. You know this. Excellent content. Well researched. Well edited. Funny. All of that. BUTTT…I feel like you’re pushing a narrative brotha. A narrative that’s your opinion which you’re entitled to but you’re stating it as if it’s fact. You made a video listing a bunch of tricks as “violations” because you don’t like them and don’t think they look cool but if someone doesn’t like mushroom blading or wizard skating you say it’s because they’re homophobic, out of touch and only don’t like it because they’re scared of what skateboarders might think. If your brand of skating is based on freedom shouldn’t that freedom go both ways? Shouldn’t ppl be free to NOT like a certain style without being called names or labeled out of touch? If skating is trending towards mushroom blading, wizard skating etc and someone wants to go against what’s trendy or go against popular opinion and not conform just to be accepted. Who is truly being free?
Unless I say, this a fact or present data (which’s can also be open to interpretation) I’m not saying it’s fact. Violation was not tricks I don’t like, that was a light hearted take on tricks that don’t follow certain guidelines. I never said people don’t like wizard or mushroom blading becuase they are homophobic, you’ve made that up. You’re making up a narrative here. I’ve said in multiple videos variety is important and that you need it all.
@@TomMoyse bro…you literally made a whole video where you use historical data about rollerblading (which gives off the impression the information you’re giving are researched provable, fact based statements) and in said video you go on to say that rollerbladers pushed the sport towards more hammers out of fear of being called gay.
@@chadalancarson when I use data that part is fact (although as I said before that’s also open to interpretation) I also said in the video my take was speculative and there was multiple reasons why hammers were so prominent in the 90s/00s. You’re trying to force your own narrative, applying your own meaning, skipping details I said in the video and even these replies.
@@TomMoyse I’m not forcing a narrative I’m just observing a reoccurring theme in your takes. Which you’re of course welcome to have being as it’s your channel, your opinion. As is the case though on public platforms like this people are going to have their own opinions on your opinions 💁🏻♂️I appreciate you taking the time respond and actually really enjoy our conversations. You’re a great ambassador for the culture. Till next time sir it’s bed time for me 🤘🏽
@@chadalancarson You clearly are. You're making up stuff I've said and leaving out things I actually have. You're welcome to your opinion - if you watch the videos you narrative falls apart.
MB finally being canon in blading's history.

not gonna lie. I wish I had seen this back when I was roller blading. I kinda did but I guess I didn't know it since I was skating in the 90s and was just influenced by what I saw people doing then. I always liked the slower more technical stuff.
Always times to come back
Mad beef was my 2nd in-line vhs 📼
Great choice
@@TomMoyse yea brother born in the 80s so I was 10 in the 90s they say it’s historical so
@@TomMoyse to be honest, bro I thought mushroom bleeding with you just take a bunch of shrooms and then you go skate. I swear to God that’s what I thought it was 😂😂
I uh, I misread this as "Mushroom _balding_ " and I was extremely confused thinking it was some sort of male pattern baldness or something
ahaha thats the next video

Got to let that ego go
Was worried you weren't going to get to Nick Riggle.
Frankly the whole vid could've been the Riggle crew history.
I skated with them for years in Santa Rosa, CA.
Incredible times.
Proper innovators! Had to talk about Nick
Idk why I read the title as “mushroom balding” lol but jokes aside this is pretty cool.
Aaahhh yyess. ..lmfao same hear took me a minute 😅
hhaah a think a few people have done that. maybe that's the next vid
Good day chap, I much prefer the fruit blading style. I have to say, mushroom blading has many similarities.
What’s the fruit balding style then. Do share
@@TomMoyse It's on the same spectrum as mushroom blading but leans towards the dance ballerina side.
Bravo......More melon .....than mushroom...cheers.
🍉
MB is what you forgot in your "most influential videos" video... 😅
Haha true. A few people mentioned that
bro I read "mushroom balding"... so disappointed, can you do a video on this next?
Haha working on it
Illia Savosins whole career basically
Haha sorta think his take is more dressing up and jumping in water
alright, spotty dog, gr8 vid m8
Thank you. Really appreciate that. Ever get into a bit of mushroom blading?
@@TomMoyse can't say that i was ever good enough lol
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes 🐶
hahah hitting all yes's
Looks like something older batters up skaters do?
A little easier on the joints and ligaments.
Some of it will certainly be easier on the joints. Open to all ages
Have watched a s- ton of their content and been inspired to grab frames, so this is not meant to be disparaging. But does anyone else feel the constant lack of resolution as their feet stall on leaving the ground? Like a rap song with the breaths removed. When they finally get all wheels off the floor at once is like head above water gulping for air.. lol no doubt this one really is just me.
Haha I can’t compute
What a hymn, it hurts after some minutes.
Welcome to the church
ideas for mushroom onewheeling thats not the mushroom part or do i get a pass?
Haha what?
@@TomMoyse i onewheel in this style, and with ski-trekking pole
read that as mushroom balding.
this is way better.
hahah next vid is mushroom balding
Is that broskow at 12:07?
Yea with the fancy foot work
I totally thought it said Mushroom Balding
haha a few people have thought that now. Might do that in the next video
The year is 2023, men have periods now, crocs are one of the most popular shoes, fanny packs are in style and rollerblading is making a comeback. What a time to be alive.
🚨
Roller bladers are the spider monkey of the sporting world. 🐒
haha
Dustin Latimer, Charles Dunkle, Micah Yeager did it first
Yea and Kruse, Hyser, Riggle did it before them, and there’s other too. Todd and Joey went full mushroom though
I bought the mushroom wheels 88A and they suck, turns out rebound is pretty important in blading wheels.
Damn
We don’t make 88a wheels. We do make 90a and 87a though. Definitely let us know what wheels and we would love the feedback.
@@MushroomBlading Whoops my bad, they are the pants 90a. Yeah, just didn't work for me. I was hoping for an UC 86a experience or Iqon 88a experience. I put my best bearing spinners but still seemed like I worked hard to move compared to other wheels. I just tried Adapt 90a and they share a similar attribute...slow. I noticed bounce to be bigger with UC and Iqon, maybe that's why? The Iqon 88a is probably the best wheels I've ever used so far when it comes to roll and speed.
@@carnerageno ah yes that’s makes sense now. That’s why we switched the pants to 87a. We discontinued the 90a pants and mugs. 90a was good for slides but 87a performed way better all around.
@@MushroomBlading Thanks for the reply and heads up on the pants 87a, ill give it a try.
You coulda just made a 15 second video called “if you wanna know what MB looks like, take a look at any kelso/bacemint/them goods footage since 2018”
When for the bigger, more detailed picture. History is important
My opinion is. Compared to skateboarding, aggressive inline can look boooring as fuck (nothing but big jumps and spinning slides)...mushroom blading, wizard skating crossed with aggressive skating on the other hand is waaaaay more fun looking and more "free" than skateboarding
I disagree with the first part but totally agree the Mushroomblading mentality and approach to skating, which lends itself to wizard skating amazingly, brings so much to aggressive rollerblading
@Tom Moyse I went a bit harsh on the first part. My point is that any extreme sport that gets on the "serious" becomes less "extreme" sport. Skateboarding, for example, 80s yay, who can do bigger hippy jumps. Then Mullen got bored and started GOOFING around. Now all flips flacks thanks to not being serious.
Being silly and able to express yourself freely is a big part of extreme sports. (Example Danny Beers 3 min clip, every "trick makes me AAWWWW, WWOOOW, WAIT, WHAT, WHY, BROOO THAT SICK HOW EVEN AND WHY, gets people both amused and crack up in the same time. For me, at least. It's more fun to watch, but that's just me, each to its own.
But maybe it's because I'm a beginner, and it makes it OK. Watching them fool around makes me feel less awkward, not knowing any tricks yet, I can always start goofing around. Yesterday I was trying a medspin on to a curb shiiiit that's scary couldn't jump it just yet
@@TomMoyse do you ever skate in bristol?
Intentional absence of the Leon era?
No. Just focused on Todd and Joey, they had a bigger crew as well with the like of Mason etc. I’ve done a whole video on Leon and Wizard skating
as a skateboarder….NEVER!
🛹
Wow. The super kooks of the kook sport.
Is it a sport
MB is punk. (in a completely non core way)
Haha yes
Shrigma
illusion of ego
I love your channel. You know this. Excellent content. Well researched. Well edited. Funny. All of that. BUTTT…I feel like you’re pushing a narrative brotha. A narrative that’s your opinion which you’re entitled to but you’re stating it as if it’s fact. You made a video listing a bunch of tricks as “violations” because you don’t like them and don’t think they look cool but if someone doesn’t like mushroom blading or wizard skating you say it’s because they’re homophobic, out of touch and only don’t like it because they’re scared of what skateboarders might think. If your brand of skating is based on freedom shouldn’t that freedom go both ways? Shouldn’t ppl be free to NOT like a certain style without being called names or labeled out of touch? If skating is trending towards mushroom blading, wizard skating etc and someone wants to go against what’s trendy or go against popular opinion and not conform just to be accepted. Who is truly being free?
Unless I say, this a fact or present data (which’s can also be open to interpretation) I’m not saying it’s fact. Violation was not tricks I don’t like, that was a light hearted take on tricks that don’t follow certain guidelines. I never said people don’t like wizard or mushroom blading becuase they are homophobic, you’ve made that up. You’re making up a narrative here. I’ve said in multiple videos variety is important and that you need it all.
@@TomMoyse bro…you literally made a whole video where you use historical data about rollerblading (which gives off the impression the information you’re giving are researched provable, fact based statements) and in said video you go on to say that rollerbladers pushed the sport towards more hammers out of fear of being called gay.
@@chadalancarson when I use data that part is fact (although as I said before that’s also open to interpretation) I also said in the video my take was speculative and there was multiple reasons why hammers were so prominent in the 90s/00s. You’re trying to force your own narrative, applying your own meaning, skipping details I said in the video and even these replies.
@@TomMoyse I’m not forcing a narrative I’m just observing a reoccurring theme in your takes. Which you’re of course welcome to have being as it’s your channel, your opinion. As is the case though on public platforms like this people are going to have their own opinions on your opinions 💁🏻♂️I appreciate you taking the time respond and actually really enjoy our conversations. You’re a great ambassador for the culture. Till next time sir it’s bed time for me 🤘🏽
@@chadalancarson You clearly are. You're making up stuff I've said and leaving out things I actually have. You're welcome to your opinion - if you watch the videos you narrative falls apart.
Canada... 🙄😂😂
🇨🇦
Let's be honest it's nothing like skateboarding or BMX is it?
That's the point
@@TomMoyse and mushrooms are cool.
Sexsy
Always
Mushroom blading is when 2 white males approach a rail in action "negative"
What a ride
No wonder blading is not mainstream
Why’s that then, don’t be shy
