Showing an Olympian around NYC | Urban Skating (Rollerblading)

@JoeyMantiaSkates hit me up to tell me he was on his way to NYC and he wanted to do some skating.

I hit up Angelia who I haven't seen in a while who used to be a big Mantia fan (ask her if she's still a fan), we hung out and made our way over to BBQ that was hosted by our friend Dan (the fellow who introduced me to Wednesday Night Skate, but that's a story for another time). We start at my apartment on the Upper West Side and we end up in Williamsburg which is in Brooklyn.

Just 3 friends goofing off, skating through the city. This is what it's all about.

Joeys Skates: @PowerslideInlineskates Hardcore Evo Pro 110
Ari's Skates: @PowerslideInlineskates Hardcore Evo Pro with the @endlessblading 90 LR frame
Angelia's Skates: @PowerslideInlineskates 3X 195 Speed Skate Boot

Hope all y'all enjoy. Thank you for joining me Angelia and Joey, always a blast!

There's just something so good of an exercise rollerblading around a city.. 😌

[Gabriell.Barros]

It's so freaking cool to see joey doing a bunch of stuff that you wouldn't think a speed skater would know or do. I mean, such clean slides tho.

[slowvoltage]

Words cannot describe how much i loved this video!! This was bloody amazing, absolutely love Joey, Angelia is the best, and Ari is who got me started trying my hands at my skates again. Having Joey crash on your couch must be cool though :b All the love to all three of you! <3

Love the way you cruise past all the traffic in the City - bet those drivers and passengers are so annoyed they are stuck in traffic

[XdBGzStRC]

What a joyful ride and a great collaboration, again. 😊😄😆

[odtube]

The hours I spent on skating with friends in cities are some of my favorite memories. Nice to relive that flow watching you guys ❤

[BeatEngine-qrif]

I recently skated from the city to Brooklyn and I felt like this guy lol He makes it look so much easier of course! Great stuff

[Shimmy]

Amazing content as usual. I love that you and Joey are buddies.

[risani]

Joey's chaos energy is real haha
such a fun, entertaining vid, y'all bounce off each other so well

[leewyser]

Ari inspired me to buy skates and get back into skating at 38. Love the channel!

I started rollerblading 2 months ago, you've been an inspiration to me... I try to do it everyday, or whenever I can, every day I see improvements but today I was distracted talking on the phone and trying to skate side ways and fell into a glass bottle on the floor (who the hell leaves glass bottles on bike roads?) but definitely going back tomorrow to be better than today!!!

[Pratalax]

you're like a babysitter minding a hyperactive child xD that rapidfire counter rotation jump part especially!
ps, jealous of angelia's shorts, i want somethin like that

[moronerick]

As a skater from the Philippines, I envy the nice roads. In our country we normally skates on bumpy roads full of uneven surfaces and small holes lol.

[grinnerzakaminicide]

"I wish you were prettier'... 'Me too' pmsl Skating Rocks!! Txs for the vids! Joey is havin so much fun!

[clonkex]

I absolutely love your skating style, Ari. It so perfectly matches with what I like to do (although I have maybe 10% of your skill at most.... actually maybe 5% lol)

[nicksouza]

Yall are really good at this makes me wanna go out there and try!

[WheresAidan]
