This is a video of a young artistic inline skater performing a freestyle slalom to Michael Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal’. How he manages to weave around all those cones without knocking one over is beyond me (full disclosure: most things are). I suspect it involves a lot of skill and practice

This is a video of two rollerbladers doing their best Autobots impression and transforming and rolling out as a car. That looks like a good time. Probably more so being the driver than the car though, because I have no core strength and would have just run over my own

This is a video of a young rollerblader demonstrating her incredible balance by skating (and spinning around) on a single wheel. That’s wild! For reference, last weekend I tried riding my bike for a few seconds without holding the handlebars and time traveled to a future where I woke up

This is a video of professional inline skater Ilia Savosin (previously seen riding office chair wheels like skates) testing the pair of vacuum cleaners he modded into rollerblades.

Note: almost constant cursing, just the way I like it. This is a video from New York City cyclist Terry B, who often follows other speedy bikers and skaters through the city as part of his Chasing Strangers video series, following rollerblader Ari (aka The Stuttering Skater, the guy who

Because you don’t know until you try (and even after you’re usually left unsure), this is a video of Youtuber The Q building a pair of rollerblades that each have a large bike wheel attached. It looks like a wheelchair with no seat. That’s…something. Something you’ll see me riding at
