Because there’s absolutely zero shortage of wackadoo ideas on the internet, here’s a couple videos of rollerblader Ilia Savosin hacking the Matrix and performing a variety of tricks with custom skates he made using computer keyboards, flatscreen monitors, laptops, and computer mice. Was that a QWERTY grind I saw?! Probably

This is a colorized clip from France circa 1923 featuring some gentlemen participating in cycle-skating. Cycle-skates each had one giant wheel on the inside of the foot so you could roll around doing donuts to impress the ladies at the park. And you know how I feel about impressing the

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

This is a video documenting Youtuber Jake Carlini’s quest to build a pair of roller blades using two kid’s bikes.

This is a video of stuntman and rollerblader (it never wasn’t cool, you were just misinformed) Giovanni Peterle doing some ramp tracks with his wheelbarrow, including performing a backflip while frontflipping the barrow, then catching it and sticking the landing. There’s also a video of him barrelrolling the wheelbarrow in

This is a short video (complete with sick soundtrack) of the elite armed rollerblading police force being trained in Karachi, Pakistan to help combat street harassment and theft. Admittedly, rollerblades are fast. Also admittedly, they’re significantly not fast at all on anything that isn’t concrete or asphalt, which I imagine
