This has to be the freaking best #freeskate video of the year from none other than the biggest brand in #inlineskating called #PowerslideInlineSkates

"Been #InlineSkating much lately?"
"Oh, yeah, a bit."
Seems like #InlineSkating the streets of #NYC is about to get a lot more dangerous.
Gothamist · New York City gives self-driving taxi firm Waymo the green light on pilot programThe company can’t pick up passengers, for now. Critics say the city is not ready for autonomous vehicles.
And on the 34th day he rested. After 33 days straight of #InlineSkating, and averaging over 2.5 hours per day, the rain finally forced me to take a day off. My quads are quietly weeping.
A late roll on Sunday night made it one full month of #InlineSkating in #NYC every day, totaling 789 miles =1270 km.
AFAIK, I have never before skated more than seven days in a row, which occurred during Xmas week of 2020, when my sister and her BF decided I was nuts. (TBH, that was some week.)
Also, just passed the 5000-mile mark on the #Rollerblade Revv BOA boots on Striker II frames.
This is life when you're WFH again and sick of looking at your apt walls.
That's 27 days of #InlineSkating in a row and whoa am I feeling it. Skated earlier than usual Wednesday due to the weather forecast, so the legs weren't really recovered from Tuesday evening yet. Lower back made its presence felt every time I went up a hill in #CentralPark. Bruise in left-quads from last week still asking for time off. And then there was the ~ 88°F temperature.
Photo is of a dad on speedskates and his two boys on plain fours whom I passed on the CP loop around 96th St.

Tough day of #InlineSkating on Sunday. It was my 24th day in a row of rolling and thigh muscles and quads are a wasteland, the temperature had warmed up (but thank goddess the humidity wasn't up), and I missed the Miraviglia passing by Valentino Pier in #RedHook by maybe 15 minutes even though I got there just before cruisemapper said she was supposed to sail.
Later on, I found the Breakaway docked at the Manhattan terminal an hour-plus after cruisemapper said she was supposed to depart.
I took a different turn today. Gave me 10km more #countryside. No regrets.
Also saw a wild pheasant today, but it was gone too quick to photograph. Did catch a picture of a wild #hare tho!
Big Apple Roll is over, and by all accounts it was a great success. Weather only messed with the Thursday night skate, and was beautiful for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday skates. The crowd attending the Friday Night Skate may well have been the biggest #GroupSkate in #NYC since the MS Super Roll was held so very long ago, and after it was over a large chunk of skaters headed over to Pier 76.
Big big turnout for Empire's Big Apple Roll Friday Night Skate on 8/1, led by the incomparable Sarai. At least 600 participants that we were able to count, and we've read reports of 650 (at least 100 of whom were recording their activity on Strava, of course).
Big representation from Miami wearing matching garb, but we also saw club gear from Boston, DC. Houston, LA, Long Beach, and Portland (OR).
Looks like the Friday morning Big Apple Roll skate to Greenpoint went well.
After a big NYC Wednesday Night Skate, the 2025 Big Apple Roll #GroupSkate weekend officially kicked off this morning with a crowd of 100 or more skating from Times Square to Rockaway Beach.
Sadly not much time to enjoy the beach as storms rolled in. Although the rain should be over and one before the planned Thursday evening skate, streets look to be too wet and slick except for the adventurous. We'll see.
I've been out #InlineSkating 13 days in a row, which is a record for me, by 6 days. So maybe I'm feeling good about my health? I should quit complaining about aging effects etc?
No, I'm 'cruising' up the WSBP late Wed night doing about 13 MPH and someone much younger than I am passes by. He's skating backwards. Oh, FFS!
Big Apple Roll week is about to start. Weather forecast for events has kept changing, but it's beginning to look like we might lose a couple mid-week events to rain. But it currently looks good for Friday evening and Saturday.
For those who want to start rolling early, the are the three pre-BAR weekly evening group skates, the NJ MNS, Empire's TNS and the NYC WNS. Full schedule at…
Friday evening was a tough roll #InlineSkating #NYC due to, 'The Return of the Humidity'. But as the clock approached the witching hour, we took a side-roll off the WSBP onto Pier 76, and whoa, so many skaters! There was Smiley and Zane and O and Jason and Jackie, and another dozen or more whose names we don't know yet.

@Andres4NY I'd complain about the stiff wind from the south on Wednesday evening, but still, it was my 6th day in a row of #InlineSkating. Which… last time that happened was almost 5 years ago.
Empire's Big Apple Roll is now 16 days away, but the #NYC #InlineSkating fun starts two weeks from today with the preliminary Tuesday Night Skate.
Are you ready to roll?

Put on my fives for the first time in 15 years and managed to skate 10 miles around the neighborhood without killing myself. We'll count that as a win.
But the feet were pleased as heck when I took them off.
Hey, skate peeps. We know many of you (like us) were out rolling in Saturday's warm, humid weather. Good for you. (Long look over at those peeps who did the skate-my-age roll with a dude who turned 65! You weirdos.)
But the heatwave is now here, and it's time to take a few days off. We'll skate with you on the other side.
