Oohhhh I remember back in the day most people could skate like this. The skating rink was the place to be on the weekends. No fighting just a lot of fun.
For Sure... NO DOUBT But then.... they came and took it all away.. Very Sad..!! Remembering Places like Venice Beach.. Oak.. Chi, NY. Mich..Etc Like Don use to say "it was a stone blast.." Family, togetherness', The fun the unity.. YUP4Sure!
Missed the skate key in the bronx but i think the liability issue and cost of rent makes it hard to run as a business. Way too many people and fights and shootings
It is a style that requires a lot of balance and energy to do. Crazy legs, downtowns, grapevines, spins (regular and squatted), sling shots, crosses, hourglass, figure eights, spot wrexing, etc. I stopped years ago and I'm trying to get back on that horse, I never realized how much energy it required. Once it is acquired it is lots of fun. This guy is really enjoying himself. That's what is all about.

No, this is the easy stuff. We do it at speed, while changing direction, around loads of other skaters. On the spot stuff, come on...there's no 'danger' to it, very safe..

Incredible talent!! I agree with Megan. Man got mad skills. I been roller dancing since the days of the Empire Roller Rink in Brooklyn. Where it all got started...He has it all!!
when i used to go to magic wheels there was a small crew of guys that would do this stuff in unison to certain songs and it was like watching a paid performance.
Randomly went on this page . My old school buddy . He’s an amazing skater y’all. Hi friend ❤blessings to you and your family if your still skating awesome stuff . ❤ Cali in the building
@@letsbehonest4221 .... Every decent skater can do those moves. They are basic moves. He's doing that for a crowd of people who probably wouldn't catch if he did more difficult moves so he keeps it basic for the crowd. Get it now???
This be reminding me how it use to be back in the day down at the rink.went to an 80s nite at the local rink and all the newer crowd was just skateing around in circles.not even moving any part of their bodies to the beats.but you can tell who all the old kats were from back in the day.we be jammin.all over that place.
smooth. My mom used to do this when she was my age, 20. I rollerblade and am learning slalom. I'd love to be able to groover on quads but they trip me up so bad.
Chicago made this scene. They still funkin it up in 2019. They rinks be having regular times always for to roll bounce skate. Beautiful And talented AF. Don't hate. Just always know n respect n appreciate the positivity. Dude be slick like hair grease bruh. The folks w bs a$$ comments is just mad. They blessed w God given grace n creative talent/rhythm. Haters can eat a D. And homeboy just keep doin u bayby. 💯
L.O.G. LegendOfGaming hahaha I know right!! Just when I thought I had everything on my long list to learn of JB skating, I now have to add tap dancing. Whew! I have a long way to go 🤣
this guy dances on skates like my uncle when he would get drunk.as a kid i thought it was bad ass with the cool foot work and then i saw skaters do it too priceless
Reminds me of my uncle. To this day you bet not touch his skates or its that.............you know. Loved this man's skill. He was having fun just jamming on wheelz.
There's a woman in Champaign illinois that did this stuff for decades. She works out at the b ball court at Randolph and Bradley but she can't skate anymore. Local legend.
old school r&b skates... probably high top riedells with a basic, jump-bar plate and hard wheels.... standard old school, nothing special. skates are best when you build them yourself with a custom boot, aircraft aluminum plates and wheels with a durometer that complement your weight range. also, don't forget the bones swiss bearings...;D and NO toe stops, lol, unless you're a total gaper...
I would bet money that LaBrian is on a Sure Grip Century or Classic. I think it's a Century because the pivot pins aren't adjustable. The jump plate is bent, which is not uncommon. Boot appears to be full leather uppers, leather sole, and sizeable heel block... so it's likely a Riedell 297 or 220. Wheels appear to be old RC Sports at 97a/57mm or worn down Powell Bones/Bones Elite. The Bones could be anywhere from 103a-97a. LaBrian skates out there by the beach in San Diego area and the concrete really eats up the urethane compound and the leather. It makes it hard to determine the make and model.

@@e7725 agreed, this is beginner stuff. And the comment I was replying to is deleted.
First off, outstanding. Second, I can just see this dude at the roller rink in 1985 learning to perfect his moves.
Greeeeee eeeeesay!
Rhythm, style, class, one cool dude for sure, all the best to you from the UK.
Wow 😳
This dudes nickname is "Happy Feet"
wombo combo
Excuse My French oh yeah yeah
Found you again bitch
bra i see you all over youtube
This nigga lives on his computer just for UA-cam recognition
Black folks ... the salt of the earth .. bringing the flava to everything everywhere
Racist troll 😂
Not even
It’s in all we do (which is bring the flava) IF it’s something we can enjoy. ESPECIALLY IN COMFORT
We are the most creative people on the face of the earth... PERIOD!
You're wrong I've seen plenty of white people doing some awesome dance moves but then again I think they're just black albinos
Incredible skills here and so much musicality. Amazing!
How many times can I "like" this video? Watching the audience, it appears that most of them have no clue the genius they're witnessing.
Incredible talent!! I agree with Megan. Man got mad skills. I been roller dancing since the days of the Empire Roller Rink in Brooklyn. Where it all got started...He has it all!!
he's good but its old school skating .so much smoother than today's skating
Agreed
True
Andre Hyatt man I wish I was born in da late 1950s I don't like 2017 I'm 11😩
Naturally Netty you mean 60's and 70's

LaBrian awesome. Beautiful. Flawless and perfect. Thank you so much for that. Your performance made me happy! So talented and genius. I love you!!
1:32 shoutout little girl on the left in the front clapping, for being the only one invited to the bbq out of this entire dry crowd
when i used to go to magic wheels there was a small crew of guys that would do this stuff in unison to certain songs and it was like watching a paid performance.
forget about all of those young kids doing breakdance moves on skates……..this is how it's done son! ……awesome job!!!!!
Kevin N but the new skaters have a lot of talent and skill too
They just bringing that new flavor. If you mix them you gotta bad as style.
Have to give credit where credit is due. He is pretty damn good! It doesn't only take skill but also being in good shape to do some of that.
Plus actually developing the routine.
I could do that. As long as there’s an ambulance near by. Lol
Awesome talent. 👍🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The opening spin grabbed my attention. Awesome. The tapping was original and too cool. Reminded me of the ole school stepping dance style.
When you've got a barbecue at 6 but a rollerblade show at 5
They are most definitely not Rollerblades. Those are quads. Real skates. Js
Randomly went on this page . My old school buddy . He’s an amazing skater y’all. Hi friend ❤blessings to you and your family if your still skating awesome stuff . ❤ Cali in the building
My claim to fame is skating backwards
MAD SKILLS. He needs to be in the nationals.
When the O.G's get drunk they glide and dance like that with shoes and forget they don't have skates on.
Impressive to see a grown man rock some quads like that. He definitly spent Friday night at the skating rink back in the day.
Perfect blend of skill with chill
This skater is amazing. So phyically capable and he's got the rhythm. So wish I could but at 77...enjoyed this!!❤❤👏👏
That was more than great, it was hypnotizing!
He looks like hes loving what he does and that’s the best part about it
My uncle's at empire skate ring in Brooklyn back in the day!
I wish I could do that but I can barley stand on my 2 feet lol. Good stuff!
Yo you looking like a model over there damn sexy !!!
@Adam Radabaugh wow no brain thanks jajajaja
Adam Radabaugh Please don’t consider them bitches
Clinton Payne disgusting.
@@illcrimsonill6224 how? Do you find sex disgusting yeah? Or imagining having sex with the opposite sex disgusting!?
For someone to skate like that, that is the definition of TALENT!!!!
yer its good stuff ,,but in the 80's just about every decent skater could do it ,,
@@letsbehonest4221 .... Every decent skater can do those moves. They are basic moves. He's doing that for a crowd of people who probably wouldn't catch if he did more difficult moves so he keeps it basic for the crowd. Get it now???
@@kcire-tv3wy yer because he is saving his best moves for the real show 🤣🤣🤣
Bravo Bravo!! Well done sir
The skating rink was the place to be!
Good times. Take me back please.
I think I'm crying... I can't stop watching it
just got this as a recommendation - so happy I did!
Dude got that funk
I can roller skate well.....but not that well...
Awesome 😎 🤟🏽
Aye!!! I see you Boi! I remember him from my days working Rollerskate Land in Chula Vista, CA in 00' & he's still doing the damn thing!
This be reminding me how it use to be back in the day down at the rink.went to an 80s nite at the local rink and all the newer crowd was just skateing around in circles.not even moving any part of their bodies to the beats.but you can tell who all the old kats were from back in the day.we be jammin.all over that place.
I don't think the crowd fully appreciated how very difficult it is to skate at this level.
smooth. My mom used to do this when she was my age, 20. I rollerblade and am learning slalom. I'd love to be able to groover on quads but they trip me up so bad.
They're called "quads" now? Jesus I'm getting old.
My man is smooooooooth❗️

Roller skating equals freedom I'm 44 and recently just brought a pair and I have all my neighbours doin the same ,the guys talented
Great skating. I remembered the guards at roller palace doing things like this. Nice memories.
you rocked. Loved the moves. Wish I could have seen it live.
Smooth as butter on them skates!
He owns that style!!! so beautiful to watch!
That is how it works. We all pretty much do/learn the same moves except you make the move yours when you learn it.
Look at LaBrian...he the one who got me to stay on my wheels....SK8 THIS FAM!!!!!
Just back at skating after a 30 year absence! This guy is incredible. What a rock ⭐️🛼🛼
Love your moves - what type of wheels do you use? what brand etc
Hats off and great skating we must all follow your example.
I was expecting a back flip! But great performance I would've split my B**ls. 😂😂
COLT .38SUPER .... Man...I was too but that's Kung Fu Jim Kelly on skates!!!!

Utterly amazing, love this guys moves!
Would've liked to know his name, beautifully and smoothly done,. He made it seem so easy, great job.

Reminds me of the skate rink Saturday afternoon in 1985. That was awesome
Amazing dude
The glide is EVERYTHING💯🙌🏾👍😎
so confident! so skilled! such a fun performance to watch!
I slipped outside this winter and on the way down I did the same routine trying to stay up 😅
Hi. Anyone know how to reach LaBrian. Love his talent. Doing a music video in South LA and want to see if he could help.
That was straight fire🔥🔥🔥💯%!!!
Absolutely awesome! Love this!
Such a Joy to Watch!°
He skates so we'll, he took his TOE STOPS off.....❤️❤️❤️ Meanwhile I'm still walking around on the carpet with my skates on...lol..🥴
Apparently I was going to the wrong skating rinks as a kid lol I could watch this all day!
you mean you NEVER saw even one person doing this?! if, not, yeah, you were for sure at "the wrong skating rink!
this guy dances on skates like my uncle when he would get drunk.as a kid i thought it was bad ass with the cool foot work and then i saw skaters do it too priceless
And to Prince!! Awesome.
Quite original. I enjoyed it.
Aye do you know what he has wrapped around both his skates? And its like red and white
Tecer gamer im not sure (ive got exactly 0 experience) but they look like they might be protectors? they could also just be part of the skates
Tecer gamer it's a type a tape that keeps the boot from coming apart.
simple wristbands.....like for sweat.......like a headband but for wrists
no their not.......they're sweat wristbands.
Yeah, they're sweat bands

Reminds me of my uncle. To this day you bet not touch his skates or its that.............you know. Loved this man's skill. He was having fun just jamming on wheelz.
The best talented and gifted is in our culture you, go boy.
Awesome bro...made it look so easy...
That was amazing! Great job
Little girl in the first row who's clapping along was ON BEAT the entire time. Get her some skates and watch her groove like this in about 10 years
What a blessing! Roll on my brother in CHRIST!!!👍🏼

What song is this
Musicology by Prince
Who the f don't like this video. This dude mad talented!!
Which Skates are these?
Simply amazing balance and skill. Must have taken so much practice
Does anyone know the roller skate model he is using?
Rafael Lopes the sk8s are definitely jam sk8 quads most likely Vanilla's but the wheels are probably custom hard to see
old school r&b skates...
probably high top riedells with a basic, jump-bar plate and hard wheels....
standard old school, nothing special.
skates are best when you build them yourself with a custom boot, aircraft aluminum plates and
wheels with a durometer that complement your weight range.
also, don't forget the bones swiss bearings...;D
and NO toe stops, lol, unless you're a total gaper...

Damn what is that a 5XL shirt
Right. He should be so proud of losing so much weight.
@@unmc21182 lol who said he was fat he might just like big clothes
*6XL

It helps keep him afloat with balance n light on his feet😂
People don't realize how hard this IS. If you can do this post a video. But I doubt very seriously if any of the haters can do this.
