  • 3:05 in purpose?

  • Hardest part of learning to skate: Telling your dad that you're gay.

  • hii<3

  • I really love this sport but now that I moved I cant find a new place to skate competitively. I am not one of those " Oh yeah I did it once and I am an expert " people, but that dedicated person that has skated for 8 years (I am 13, started at 5) and I know how hard it can get out there. But since I was the only of my fellow skaters who has over 5 years experience, not to be vain, but I have never lost a match :)

  • there some many difrent rules one of the reason for no olympics

  • damn i rlly get the one it never get easier:)

  • Ya see what i dont get is that curling is in the Olympics but dis isn't WTF!!!

  • I love skating.

  • i swear i watched this vid over a billion times i love it its super reminds me why i do it. When i have a hard time not seeing the point of all thoso intens long trainings this vid reminds me what's about!

  • @starboysable same here

  • Not as easy as it looks i train every day

  • what was that guy doing at 3:05? hahaha

  • @darkprecurser thats harry vogal.

    i practice with him.

    he is one of the best in the world and in that race He don't even know what he was doing. he was just so far ahead.

  • @darkprecurser  he was hocking the line...duh

  • I dont know why but this song gives me strength it makes me feel like i can do anything this song AMAZING!!!

  • my favorite one is the one that says if its under control then yur going to slow

  • this vid realy gives me a boost, after the endless long, sometimes pointless trainings...

  • Great video!

  • I hope to make it to nationals again this year! :D I'm going to skate to this song everytime i work out. So i remember this video and remember all the skaters before me that have made it to be number 1 like joey mantia, michael cheeks, justin stelly, and of course Apollo Ohno. :D

  • @Bladknight3 lol his last name is just cheek

    we just call him cheeks haha

  • I know this may sound strange, but roller blading shaped me to the person I am today. Before I put on a pair of blades I wasn't good at anything, nobody knew my name, and I was shy and awkward. Now I a am a very outgoing popular kid. I owe everything to this sport and I will forever be known as the Flash.

  • really epic nice video respect i'm a speed skater myself it's rlly how life is. INSPIRATION

  • I can't imangine my life without this wonderful sport. Inline speed skating has brought me nothing but happiness in my life, and no one will ever know how much this sport really means to me and how much I truly love it. From a girl who had always been bullied and made fun of. Never been good at anything. Then one day I joined the SOS speed team from Whitehall, PA. I had finally found something where the team had accepted me, and found something I was good at. I will ALWAYS love this sport

  • @HugsXOXOkissesXOXO nicely said rlly

  • this sport is epic

  • first part gr8 :)

  • Team Extreme out of the state i was at Washington had the fastest Woman in the world for inline lol and they had two kids my age this was years ago in the early 2000's and late 90s but they were simply amazing. i qualified for nats twice but never was able to go :/

  • Lord knows how many times I have watched this, and missed it soo much:/

  • My friend used to be as fast as me but since I got new bearings and new wheels, Reds and Blue & Yellow G-Shock wheels, I don't think he'll be able to beat me. My older bearings was abec-5 and crappy wheels that had no grip.

  • burns are great for training. i use matter lethal for races though...

  • @beastyboy123 After 3-4 months on burns there the same as every other wheel.

  • Live Life FAST

  • 2:26 is EPIC

  • este es el video que mas me gusta de speed skating...:)

  • im a 13 year old speed skater from holland(L)

    i love doing my thing so @skatenumber283 i know what you mean, and what you feel.

    next year dutch championships..

    summer work's gonna be hard, but on one can stop me in this big stap which im making right now.

  • 2:11

    Nice jump

  • 63 people are olympic curlers

  • i might be young but i go pretty fast on skates and win races at skate city

  • I'm not a fan of Eminem, but there's something powerful about this video.

  • I dont like this... I'm IMPRESSED !!!

  • awesome video

  • worlds best video on youtube totally making me train harder

  • @skatenumber283 SAME! it sucks :/ x

  • i wish this was popular in Tennessee

  • eminem for the win!

  • This needs to be an Olympic sport. I'm pretty sure it will be, in the next 10-30 years. Hopefully sooner...

  • Damn! 2:12 - 2:13

    The dude falls and this other dude jumped over him to avoid falling! Hella beast

  • I really want to do this cus I to inline skate and whenever I skate people tell me to slowdown or either when in a small place. I would love to skate in big rings like these going as fast as I can and it seems so fun and the adrenaline I already get from it. Imagine being in there... Anyone have any information how to get involved in this?

  • @JcHizmeng check on your local sports, to see if anyone coaches "Inline Speed Skating" not speed skating (cuz they will send you to speed skate on ince). Also check on the internet write were u live and the sport and see if anything comes up. I've been doing this sport since October 2010 and I love it. I cant help cuz I dont live in the US but, yeah try to do these things, Hopefully something will appear for you.

    Luck!

  • @MsVLoveLiveLife Thank you, I might try the news papers 1st before online.

  • @JcHizmeng you can go to USA Roller Sports

  • @JcHizmeng search for local speed skating clubs

  • @JcHizmeng meeee!

  • @JcHizmeng Dude i feel ya im the same exact way everytime i skate at a rink or somethin i get to slow it down, im just so fast i really wana see how fast i can go on a big its my dream props to ya love the comment piece

  • @JcHizmeng If u want adrenaline then skate down from hills etc.

  • @siedlikmasterek I live in apartments next to a busy road. When I was up north I use to ride my bikes down hill in my neighborhood but, ever since I moved to a city things have been different.

  • love speed skating ben doin long time do it til i die love speed skatin :)

  • I don't want to work for success in speedskating I work because I want to work.!

  • Man i remember my first pair of bont sharks i was the only person at the rink with a pair of racing inlines like that ... those 4 wheel kids didnt know what to think lol

  • Why do you use quotes from non-skaters? :O

  • @Rac1ng4Live Used quotes that captured the moment. Not that many great speakers in speed skater... Go fast, turn left isn't really earth shattering

  • @hipnip0429 Go fast, turn left...it's the key to a happy life.

  • Greg Lemond's quote is best:

    It doesn't get easier. You just go faster.

  • thumbs up if this if your favorite till i collapse video

  • 3:54 random helicopter!?!?!?? lol

    i love speed skating!!!

    ♥♥♥♥?

  • @lolcats27 They had a helicopter for security reasons.. it was part of the racing, so it needed to be expressed in the video

  • Yeah im with you people put speed skating on the olympics

  • where u got the quotes

  • this gotta be a really hard sport

  • if u think speed skating is for pussies..f@#ck u idiot!!!

  • And I am not joking about them using this sport in the Olympics. this should have been one of the main topics, I mean come on can anyone tell me why this sport isn't in yet? There must be something very seriously wrong about this sport if it's not an Olympic sport.

  • An beautiful good vid ! The way they show the victories, it gives you an amazing feeling. Also the way they show you have to work hard, to reach your dreams.. But it's not only that. The fun you make during the skating, and there is always such a special feeling around the track, I just love this sport with all my heart

    <3

  • Did anyone else notice the guy somewhere in between 2:07 and 2:16? The guy that falls---look at him and then check out the guy that just jumps over him and keeps going! That amazed me! Just sayin.

  • @Adidasoccer007 lol i was gonna say that! XD

  • i inline speed skate. it's hella amazing. it NEEDS to be in the Olympics.

  • Only reason speed skating ain't in the olympics is, when the people there need to make the decisions come out to watch it. They see all these skaters hurting eachother (if you seen a hardcore speedskating race you know what i'm talking about). So stop the violence and it will be in the olympics!

  • i love this video

  • I love this (L) -,-

  • INLINE SPEED SKATING WHOOT..

    KOREA WILL BE WIN AS WELL

  • pretty sick inside/outside pass 2:35

  • any 1 see that jump at 2 12

  • great video

  • i dont understand how curling is in the olympics and this isnt

  • @broncosrul3 now even golf is in the Olympics how is it possible?

  • @broncosrul3 curling is actually a pretty damn hard sport.

  • wats the song...btw this is an awesome vid...

  • @Whippersnappers123 The song is called Till I collapse by Eminem

  • @Whippersnappers123 Eminem :)

  • this needs to be an olympic sport

  • nice

  • i like this vid but i am a freestyle skater so

  • great video. fits the song well.

  • 2:16 Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • nice vid. thnks

  • ...and inline feels much much better to DO.

  • ice speed skating looks better imo

  • Both European and American football athlethes are overrated in their wage and effort, many pros in skating, cycling, tennis, and many other sports(even car racing) do higher efforts. :P

  • @D370n470r

    I agree that wage's in gridiron football and football are wayyy to high.

    But who are you to say that one sport is harder than another?

    I think every pro athlete whether it be a speed skater or a tennis player have put loads of hard work and practice to be considered the greatest at what they doo.

  • I did speed skating in 1st grade to 3rd. now Im in 6th grade and miss it so much. even though it doesn't look hard it is very hard. drills... falls.... after a while the bruises get to you.... i hope to get back to it soon...

  • this is awesome!

  • Speedskating is tough, but its fun. I've been doing it for 20 years.

  • I appreciate you =]

  • I love this video. I listen to "Till I collapse" at least once before every single practice. It gets me so pumped.

  • are team has a really good coach this is prob the hardist thing i ever donee

  • really now iskate 1300...

    whats your fastest lap time, and whats your greatest achievement

  • you guys suck i can do all of this stuff

  • god.. i hate to hear that man... may i ask, whats your skating region?

  • @thetruemonster13 i skate in Birmingham AL

  • haha, your my competition, be glad it was a clean break, less likely to need surgury, mine was a nasty break, 4 spots, one on the ulna(pinky side) 3 on the radius(thumb side), needed two surgurys, rods the first time, and they messed my hand's tendons up so i need surgury to remove the rods and fix my tendons, so i feel your pain man

  • @thetruemonster13 i did have to have surgury . i rod in the radius and a compression plate with six screws

  • im a freshman in highschool who unfortunaly only knows a couple of speedskaters (there arnt too many in birmingham)

    i managed to break my arm on new years eve when i wasn't even skating hard. i was just goofing g off and i fell and snapped my arm clean in half.

  • the best part is at 2:12 when somone falls and this guy jumps clear over him and keeps going

  • beastyboy123, im glad you liked what i said. I know how you feel, on march 15 last year i broke my arm, and was out for the rest of the season, and idk if im going to that, but my team may be. And besides im only first year sophomore

  • ill bet the girls have amazing asses

  • and like many of these skaters, i've never given up, and i practice my hardest, every practice, and i skate my hardest at every meet

  • this is epic

  • CANADA!!! ROCKS!!!!!!

  • At 3:05 did that guy dropped the other one on purpose???

  • inline speed skating is a sport that you work hard to win in but this song doesn't match this,this song is to hardcore for speed skating

  • i like the video haha simple and plain

  • what idiot put an eminem song in the background of this video. IT'S SPEED SKATING

  • @mcrum78

  • this is funny cuz im a speed skater and this is one of my fav. songs

  • and ???

    what u do?

    be active be hardcore

  • daryl0012 and ghitomaru im sorry but if america wanted to take over canada we could do it with quite a bit of ease and we r tough shit

  • wow stupid Americans all full of yourselves, get a life, always think ur tough shit, Canada's the best

  • Do you want to get the shit beat out of you. My friends and I could take over canada........

  • id like to see the day america takes over canada...wed hear u guys coming before we saw u...the earth would start shaking, than we would see blobs on the horizon, wed grab our snipers and POP ur all dead

  • who said we would originally go on foot. We have these things called predator drones and they would wipe every person from canada off the face of the earth

  • if america would every try to take over canada EVERY other country would be on america like white on rice, so dont fuck with us

  • What makes you think that any other country would be in support with you. what does your country do...........We have one of the strongest alliences with europe and China will never fight against us considering we are there main sourse of trade. The only country that would ever go with you is North korea and maybe Japan. so no you will be fucked!

  • whats the tops speed of this athletes ?

  • it depends. at the marathon, open road, they achieve more than 70km/h

  • Comment removed

  • 2:11, LOL! the guy falls and the other one just jumps over him and carrys on rate fast... good skill.

  • looks really hard

  • this is a freakin sport!!! i mean i playbaseball for my highskool but this is a intense sport

  • do you know if you can use cycling boots as the boots for inline. Because i want to start inline skating but cant afford the skates yet.

  • Speedskating! Um desporto único no Mundo!

    Speedskating! A unique sport in the World! I'm a speedskater! And who thinks it's "gay" (?) , I can only laugh. But I invite you all to put the speedskates on your feet (not the nomal skates) and skate with me, let's see who's gay! What a piede of shit , these people who do not respect each sport. God make pi above you!

  • uses the selection is not good but is the best skater Joey Mantia is according to me

  • best sport in a world...

  • i agree with M1sterHamilton SPEED SKATE FOR LIFE!!

  • SPEED SKATING 4 LIFE

  • great vid

  • The onl y way around is through...that part was tight.

  • When will the public know if in fact speed inline skating will be inducted into the Olympic games? Does anyone know? That would be great for the sport......

  • It was turned down from the Olympics. Golf and Rugby were chosen instead, sad.

  • awsome vid

  • amazing vid

  • this vid is very inspireing

  • the international olympic committee is actually considering to have speed skating in london 2012. the sport needs to fulfill 3 criteria- sufficient t.v. audience, equal scope for both men and women, and no serious risk of injury. it's a topic of heated debate right now, but i think speed skating will make it. it's a very exciting sport and i'm sure it will be one of the main attractions if it makes it there. let's hope for the best.

  • Hopefully they do its my big sis dream to speed skate in the olympics

  • ice speed skating is well-established in olympic winter games for a long time now (since the beginning of the winter games) - so why not take inline speed skating as the "summer" olympic games counterpart to ice skating ?

  • no serious risk of injury? All sports have this. Look at that kid who popped his elbow right out of the socket on live tv during the weightlifting competition! I remember we were fighting for this in 1992, when I joined the speed team.

  • Speed Skating isnt about winning its about having fun and enjoyin the exitement of the competition

  • and versing your self ;)

  • Um, as a former speedskater and a coach, I can tell you it's about winning, too. Losing bites.

  • nice video i am a speed skater in florida and i train every other day and this video has inspired me to train moree

  • as far as i know the world record for marathon on skates is below 1 hour (58 minutes or something)

    thats a constant speed of over 43km/h - 27mph

  • Actually I'm pretty sure it's at least 56 minutes because Hedrick skated that at the North Shore Inline marathon back in 2000 I think.

  • how fast do the pros go

  • i love speed skating its soo fun im in team f.a.s.t. we did allost erything in the video

  • actually, the video is of worlds, banked tracked nationals, indoor nationals. It is the United States as a whole, and does not showcase one team or another. However, Team Flordia has a lot more screen time than anyother team.

  • does anyone know if speed skatings going to be in the london olyimpics?

  • i dont have a speed skating team around me :( but this stuff is badass and i practice skating everyday on my own at my local rink... one day i wanna be as good as these guys in both aggressive in-line and speed skating i do other drills on m
