I like how he incorporated history into this video rather another "I tried to do..." vlog. It keeps things a bit more interesting.

Completely unrelated but Quest's way of speaking and his positivity is soooo attractive

I love seeing the roller skating community grow. I artistic roller skate and it was dying down for a while but roller skating is coming back!!!

I love this video. So positive and humble. I just started skating a couple months ago and love entering the skating rink. Even though sometimes I might be the only white dude on the floor, everybody makes me feel welcome. A lovely black lady saw that I was having trouble skating backwards and she came up to me with a beautiful smile, took me by the hand and taught me to skate backwards. Like you mentioned in this video, I also feel better connected to black people than ever before since skating. The rink just magically brings people together no matter what color we are. More of God and Roller Rinks would make America a better place.

Thank you for the proper background, the rink was one of the safest places for black kids

Never knew there were people who didn't feel "black enough" I'm glad he felt empowered by this experience.

I play roller derby - everything he said about the community is 1000% true. My derby sisters are my family!!!! Derby has done so much for helping my self confidence and feel included

I have depression issued and don't do well in crowds anymore. But I've been watching a lot of skating videos and just by watching I feel inspired. This video was very inspirational. I haven't gone skating since Jr. High and in my 40's I think I should go back out there and enjoy myself. I love dancing and I really miss the feel of gliding around on the floor. This video has made feel confident enough to give it another go. So thank you for showing the difficulty and fun of reconnecting to the positive parts of my childhood. Have fun and enjoy life as if you won't see tomorrow because life is to short to go through it in pain everyday. Much love to all the pro skaters who just love the joy it gives. Peace, love, and fun everyone.

[MichaelAlexander]

Man! You don't know how much I need this, because its been years since I skated comfortably. I like those skates that Quest has, I think I'll put my old skates to rest & get some new ones that look like soul dance skates. This video is definitely inspiring! Way to go.

I just bought vintage roller skates for 8 bucks at the thrift store. I've never skate before, wish me luck!
