Mykel Fatali: Walking on Air Edit by Geoff Phillip
Quoting Cody Lampman:
When I first watched the clips that Mykel Fatali has been stacking for the past two years, one main question came to my mind: Is the rollerblading world ready for this?
Mykel has been one of my best friends since we were both in middle school, rolling around skating curbs and filming with a handy cam. Over the years Myk began to progress at both filming and editing, and now is, in my opinion, one of the best filmers in rollerblading.
He’s so talented behind the lens that it can be easy to forget just how god damn amazing his blading is. The man is hands-down the fastest bowl skater on the planet and it’s because of his addiction to hauling ass that he decided to begin riding flat over two years ago, but don’t think for a second that he’s lost any of his grinding skills.
Unlike most modern skaters, Mykel isn’t a rollerblading businessman. He doesn’t usually go out searching for clips, nor does he ever put a time limit on himself, hence the two-plus years it’s taken for him to put this edit together.
However, that being said, when Kel decides to get a clip, it’s always that awesome trick that you wish you had thought of, or that you wish you could even do. The man has dedicated himself not just to blading, but to having a damn good time doing it. I give to you, the world’s fastest bowl rider and coolest street blader, Mykel Fatali.
Filmed by Geoff Phillip, Howie Bennett, Cody Lampman, Ian Walker, Greg Schlosser, Jeremy Spira, Greg Freeman, Will & Deniiccce.

Damn after the 5000th 450 soul I just watched in my BladerGANG edit I’m still not bored. Anyway I’m gonna go eat some slices of bread and paint my walls white and cut my wrists. Byeeee.

literally spent the whole time waiting for an amazing trick, the dude is good and could probably smash on me, but god damn, that was kind of boring

Leave the Dboys alone cuz they motivate us
June 30th, 2012 at 3:10 am
I enjoyed it! Keep killin it!
June 30th, 2012 at 3:28 am
He gets it. Most of you don’t get it. But that’s ok. Fuck yeah Mykel, keep killing.

that was boring. The description makes it sound like he is the next big thing when in reality he’s just another guy who loves rollerblading. I was waiting for an awesome trick the whole time but only a couple mediocre tricks and wallrides. And if he’s so “good and fast” at skating bowl, why is there no footage of him? Because this quite frankly was boring. Just keep rolling.

You guys obviously missed the point. Bladergang troll was so on point.
June 30th, 2012 at 9:03 am
cool edit for sure…but yeh why do americans always have to write some gay ass speil around an edit?
June 30th, 2012 at 9:06 am
Must be all the double cheeseburgers
June 30th, 2012 at 9:30 am
Mykel is obviously really good at blading and looks to enjoy it – so why the urge to claim all this… the best, the fastest man on the planet rant.
Look I’m just saying chill a bit Don King;)
other than that keep blading and documenting guys!
June 30th, 2012 at 9:36 am
I liked it. Mykel obviously loves rollerblading and you can definitely tell from this edit. Some nice creativity in there. Dude has some skills too.
Last trick was great! haha Keep it up Mykel!
June 30th, 2012 at 11:18 am
thanks for ranting about this kid being the next stockwell and not using any bowl footage moron, this kid is good but this edit did not even come close to living up to the rant he put on
June 30th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Myk, Myk, Myk…sick! Air walker. BladerGANG-please do.
June 30th, 2012 at 3:18 pm

“I love that everyone has taken my write-up so seriously. I suppose I did go a little over the top, but the dudes my best bud and I’m juiced he finally came through with a section. As for the bowl-skating comments, anyone who has met Kel knows that bowls are the first thing that come to mind when you think of him, so it was only natural to include something in his bio. I apologize for misleading you.”

all of you say that this was boring but i fucking love that i just watched a 4 minute edit with less than 20 grind tricks in it. our sport obviously has less variety than most extreme sports bc all we can do is spin but mykel here found a hardcore way to shred without only hitting handrail. fuck off you ignorant twits. have a great day on your prail

You were all given everything you needed to see that the man slays the streets with his own style and and a skill set you can’t really comprehend, but many of you still blew it, Hard,
July 1st, 2012 at 10:28 am
Good to see more done on street than the often done grind.
July 1st, 2012 at 4:59 pm
man that was soooo fucking good.
whoever left the comment “he gets it”, is so correct right now.
the edit was only boring if you don’t get it.
July 1st, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Didn’t feel mislead, just thought weeew.. But dope edit, so whatever:) peace
July 2nd, 2012 at 6:34 am
Cool, why was that pool 6ft 1.8m?? Thought that was fucking weird….
July 2nd, 2012 at 1:08 pm
why is this on rollernews?….
July 3rd, 2012 at 3:08 am
Nice blading! Definitely a feel good edit.
