Mushroom Blading (Volume 1): Full Video
In the wake of the release of Mushroom Blading Vol.2, Volume 1 is now online in its entirety. Enjoy!
From the makers of “Cirque Duh SOL eh?” and “Better than Baseball” comes the controversial video “Mushroom Blading – Vol. 1” which is the first volume in a series of experimental skate videos.
The abstract skating will provoke conversation and may even inspire you to explore unconventional avenues of rollerblading. “It is making a conscious decision to develop strange skills without knowing exactly where they will take you while remembering rules are illusions that hold back your best ideas” – Todd McInerney.
With its dizzying pace, unsettling atmosphere and grimy Vancouver setting, the mood of Mushroom Blading Vol.1 has little in common with the nostalgic, carefree qualities of previous SOL videos. Whether you’re new to rollerblading or trying to relive your glory days, Mushroom Blading Vol.1 is an unforgettable and undeniably weird addition to your skate video library.

That was so bad ass. Seriously mind expanding,
anybody that can’t appreciate mushroom blading
odiviously doesn’t know how to have fun or look
at obstacle in a unique, creative, and radical way.
Keep up the gnarly skating todd and joey!

i support the industry but c’mon mang!!!
March 20th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
its not about supporting the industry its about haveing as much fun as you can on blades, you people shouldn’t get so serious about skating unless your going pro. skating is our way of PLAYING not WORKING.
blading is special because of the personal style it offers from person to person,
stop trying to put limits and regulations on our sport or take your skates off and get on something else so you can go to the x-games where they judge on the same 20 or so tricks over and over
March 20th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
so much fun! these guys are enjoyable to watch. most edits anymore I cant stand to sit threw them to the end because they are so aids infested and retarded, but I watched and enjoyed this whole thing! check out better than baseball too, it is epic also.
March 20th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
I love the Vids from Joey and Todd
March 20th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Love these guys, they always have so much fun while blading and that’s what it’s all about. And they have the craziest imaginations and make something out of what most rollerbladers would think is nothing. Can’t wait for the next installment. :)
March 20th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
yo the skating can be cool and stuff but the intro? wtf was that all about? if this guys think that was it’s becuase they are gay blading isn’t like that
March 20th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
delicious !!
your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and try again.

mother fuckers like these that makes rollerblading look gay as fuck
it doesnt help that our top pros skate around in spandex now either what the fuck
March 20th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Holy crap some tricks looked like so much fun I had to laugh. Great video!
March 20th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
that intro would of been better suited for a dvd with some hammers and like something showing the difficult side of rollerblading. this whole video is full of tricks that we all do when were just pissing around. given there are a few things in there that couldnt be done 1st or 2nd try, i love seeying tricks that i didnt think of but i love seeying tricks i cant do better!
March 20th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
WTF))))) )))))))))))))))
March 20th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
BEST TRICK IN THE VIDEO wahahaha so fun to watch
March 20th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
dam pot heads are at it again keep it up guys!!!
March 20th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
These guys rule and I was at a skatepark and was talking to some younger bladers and they said that this is the reason why they started blading. I’m tired of trying to explain to people what I do. If rollerblading goes mainstream or whatever its not gonna make me love it any more or less. I’ve been skating for 15 years and have taken my fair share of shit and I decided a long time ago that my life is about what I love not what loves me back.
March 20th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
fuck yes^^^^ and id like to see some of you shit talkers skate like joey, dude shuffles and manuals in and out of stuff like its nothing, sure some stuff is pointless….but isnt grinding just as pointless……we are not supposed to be trying to prove anything….that would mean we had something to prove.
if your not having fun, change what you do
March 21st, 2010 at 12:00 am
I have been rolling ramp and street for 20 years now.
It has never been about being one of the crowd stuff.
I gave up watching this vid about 7 min into it when I
realized it was just a bunch of mucking about on film.
A trick to the art of rolling is being less obvious than this.
March 21st, 2010 at 12:17 am
I liked their older films better than this one. This one to me lacked more imagination and fun than the previous ones. I understood the point but… I didn’t have fun watching this like i did watching Cirque or Baseball. I mean it’s nice to do muck about tricks but a whole video based on that? Anyway, we’ll see about the sequel.
March 21st, 2010 at 12:25 am
Remember though kids the video is based soley on a few lads who take magic mushrooms then go out rollerblading, ive tried it and its hard, in fact I would go as far to say as these guys are like the Haffey of the ‘rolling whilst under the influence world’
March 21st, 2010 at 1:04 am
If you can’t find even a tiny bit of inspiration in this video, quit now and go suck a skateboarders dick. Because you clearly care more about pleasing people who hate you than the progression of something truley amazing. Skateboarders hate you because your not LIKE them. You dont SUPPORT them and you do something ILLER then them. They are so threatened by Rolling and being knocked down a peg on the “cool” scale they call you “gay”. Rollerbladers need to stop being so fucking weak. Really.
March 21st, 2010 at 2:05 am
Hahaha I love the intro!
It’s very different here in UK though, atleast in my town.
Skateboarders are mostly just skinny pale kids who like to fit in, although some of them have talent.
I’m one of the only Rollerbladers in my town that actually skate often and I have never ever had a skateboarder stand up to me or want to fight me lol In my experience they’re alot weaker than us in general anyway.
And in my town it’s doesn’t matter if your a boarder or blader you still get people wanting to beat the crap out of you in their gangs because we are “skater boys” lmao
Roll for Life!
March 21st, 2010 at 2:54 am
Was pretty nice but I agree with urban ninja not as good as better than bball. I like the crazy tricks some of which are done with really weird but nice style. But just a couple of solid ones thrown in. How much freedom is too much idk lol….
March 21st, 2010 at 3:05 am
Love mushroom blading.
Would love to see these guys do some more “typical” tricks too as the more narrow-minded might appreciate just how talented they are.
In the same way I’d love Aragon to do some of this shit just before hurricane topsouling a rail.
Why have some guys do Yin, others Yang, when the incorporation of both is there to be had!
March 21st, 2010 at 9:06 am
you two are so fucking awesome. I love your videos and your skating. fuck the trash talking groms.
March 21st, 2010 at 10:02 am
Hell yeah boys, great video that defies the norm and brings some inspiration into rollerblading. Everyone else, cry more about a free rollerblade video which took time sweat and tears to produce. What the fuck have you done for anyone. Get fuuuuuuucked. Hahhaha, love the SOL crew. TOP SHELF BRAAAAAHS!
March 21st, 2010 at 11:01 am
i love this vid, i remember watching it with few skating friends and we were all totally buzzled after it.
March 21st, 2010 at 2:22 pm
intro was great, shows a playful side like “hey i can laugh at my self”
i dont understand peoples problem with these tricks. to me its just flat land rollerblading, lots of cessing, shuffles, manuals and stalls. these tricks help you understand about positioning and control
March 21st, 2010 at 2:31 pm
fuck the haters, i love how you don’t give a fuck and do your thing.
I’ve been a hardcore fan since cirque du sol eh and always will be. Peace from France and keep dancing on da wheelz
March 21st, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Have these ingrates no shame?
March 21st, 2010 at 9:52 pm

Your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and suck my balls.
March 21st, 2010 at 9:56 pm
LOL @ the whole thing. A bunch of spinning around on the ground.
March 22nd, 2010 at 1:21 am
this is like drunk blading but serious
March 22nd, 2010 at 1:40 am
there are a few great videos that stand the test of time or mark an important part in the evolution of rollerblading. The SOL crew have definitely made at least one of those, and for that i thank you.
March 22nd, 2010 at 3:11 am
these guys picked really good songs for the vid.
The song starting at about 7:45 is really great.
Does anyone know the title.
March 22nd, 2010 at 4:48 am
Thats not easy… puting it together with parcour, today´s free style rollin + plus what these guys are doing… more cool tricks will come up. Innovating is always good.
March 22nd, 2010 at 5:07 am
