Miami Skater Migration is over, but some skaters remain in Florida for today's (Tuesday) Homestead Ultra Skate, a "how far can you skate in 24 hours" track event (think 24 Hours of Le Mans, but y'know, in Florida). One skater from DC whom we follow on Strava rolled 300+ miles there last year. Looking forward to see the numbers that people post soon, including Allegra from #Brooklyn.
#InlineSkating
Out #InlineSkating #NYC on Thursday and observed three car drivers blow red lights, one of whom came damn close to running me down. I hope that police siren whoop I heard at Amsterdam and 96 was a cop actually ticketing that dips*t.
Well, bang! There's Mike G #InlineSkating South Beach #Miami a day before #SkaterMigration offiicially begins. Spring has sprung?
Wondering how many people in our Strava feed will be #inlineSkating in #Miami the next four days.
This song will be stuck in my head for a while.
Also, it’s a fun edit, love how he ends it.

thinking about #laterality,
my focus has always been on the dominant side,
in this case my hands,
seeing my off hand as less developed,
since the path of least resistance will 4 most things be just to develop / train one side.
took me a bit to realize, that theres a bunch of stuff my off hand can do,
that my dominant hand cant.
unsurprisingly these things are almost exclusively complementary to whatever the dominant side is doing.
whats also fun is that in #inlineskating im really only good / confident in rotating to the left, since the skateparks lines where i started out heavily favoured left rotation / turns
but in #snowboarding i lead with whichever side is the best 4 the situation and am equally good in leading with both sides
in snowboard school first thing they ask u 4 ur dominant side so they can adjust the bindings towards that side of the board but that never felt right to me
i tried both 'goofy' and 'standard' setups (snowboard slang 4 left or right dominant) but then finally on day 5 set the bindings symmetrically and never looked back
I know I say this every year, but man, it seems like this winter is really doing a job on the state of #NYC city streets.
A more interesting example are most of Danny Beer’s skate edits: There, I don’t think I would like the music on its own if it was not connected to the skating.
But the skating looks like so much fun, daring, silly, full of raw energy — it’s infectious! ⚡
I do think that the music contributes to this vibe, though.

I think some music mostly motivates me because I associate it with something else, specifically skate edits.
The best example is probably the music from my most favourite edit of all time:

It's been tough days for #InlineSkating in #NYC for a week plus. The cold not so much but the slush and crud on the streets, OMG. Anyhow, we got in a 10-mile roll on Sunday 2/1 afternoon and arrived home safe and intact. Woot!
It was 15°F Tuesday night, but Empire's Tuesday Night Skate rolled to Red Hook!
(We were not with them, because OMG 15°F!)

Checking my #Strava feed and getting jealous of the peeps who were #InlineSkating in Puerto Rico Thursday night.
As cold and as windy as it was Thursday night, we encountered three other people #InlineSkating the WSBP. Hard core.
Windy AF, but Sunday was such a beauitiful day for #InlineSkating #NYC, We rolled to #RedHook #Brooklyn. Missed the cruise ship sailing, but always good to see the Liberty Gal when the sky is clean.
Updated intro post…
Hola, skaters!
The Empire Skate Club of New York has been #InlineSkating #NYC since 1997.
Our biggest, most organized activity every year is the Big Apple Roll, 4-5 days of group skating the first weekend of August, including the massive BAR Friday Night Skate
We also sponsor Tuesday Night Skate, NYC's oldest weekly #GroupSkate; sponsor an inline #speedskating team; and do weekend group skates.
Check out our website or socials for more. https://empireskate.org
It may be the depths of winter (which, what, it was about 50°F on Wednesday), but the NYC #GroupSkate folk are in full swing. We met up with members of the Winter Wednesday Night Skate (not the Official WNS) when they finished their roll, and they had a nice-sized group.
Hola, #NYC #InlineSkating folk. Happy New Year!
In case you hadn't heard, there's a new (okay, a few months old now) skate shop in town. It's small, but it's an honest-to-god skate shop.
The store is Mercado, on Clinton just barely north of Delancey. Despite the small size, they have a variety of skate brands on the shelf, including Rollerblade, Them, and Micro.
Skated to Red Hook hoping to watch the Queen Mary 2 set sail. But damn, it's down to 15-minute or less intervals. She was still docked at the Brooklyn Cruise at sunset. I was freezing while hanging about Valentino Pier and after 20+ minutes bailed the scene. She cast off about another 20 minutes later.
Sigh. It's so cool to be on Valentino Pier when one of the big ships passes by in frisbee range. But not Saturday.
