what a fucking douchebag
November 26th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
nice to know you still have the love and ambition to go pro but lets face it your not really starting over again are you? you have all the knowlage and expirence to know what your doing wrong this time round! unlike when you were 15 and taking hours to learn a simple trick…. best of luck to you tho dawg.
November 26th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Unwarrented self-importance
November 26th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
ok bro… good lluck!
November 26th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
hes a douche, hes a herb, hes a great skater
November 26th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
With bullshit like that you wont get very far. First this “Do you skate?” shit and now this, fuck you Uhas
November 26th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
god this guy is such a fag
November 26th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
oh yeah any one remember vinny killing that rail in the first clip? amazing days.
November 26th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Mark Wodja will be pro before you ever will again. And some could argue you didn’t deserve to be pro the first time around.

fukin good skating but they were old clips lets see some new shit didnt have sound so duno wot everyones goin on about
November 26th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
this is the ambition and determination we need man, this is what skaters dreamed and did back in the day, skating needs to be like this again, its a good thing
November 26th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
you little faggots need to quit hatin
November 26th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
he’s doin what he wants to do. i respect that. hopefully his style is way cleaner.
November 26th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
good on him for trying to go for pro again. but having it into a series of his journey to become pro. don’t know about that one its like the documentry seris of ryan sheckler. if anyones see that seris you’ll all know how cheesy it is. BUT HIT THAT SHIT AGAIN NICK UHAS!!!
November 26th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
what a quuuueeeeeeer
November 26th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
he reminds me of the guy from step brothers. The main characters dick’ed brother ha
November 26th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Go nick, i dont care what these haters say. Go for it! I thing this is whats lacking in rollerblading now a days, the determination of being the best and pushing through to be the top!
November 26th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
yea rollerblading is about being the best and winning all the comps ever. seriously quit skating and go play football or someshit. jock blading ftl
November 26th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
This is a fucking joke, right? When was this guy ever pro? Yeah, he does sick tricks once and awhile, but your style sucks, you’re cocky as fuck, and this whole documentary is unwarranted. If this was a documentary or series about Chris Haffey, Brian Aragon, or any of the other rollerbladers that have a personality or skating that we all actually give a shit about, THEN maybe would we actually watch. You’re cheesy!!!!
November 26th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
…what the fuck…I love his skating but after that weird big-tits edit a few months ago and this one I have to seriously reconsider if his rolling skills make up for all the bullshit he talks…what the fuck+2!?!?!?
November 26th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
WTF!!!! high school musical superstar turned pro again, sounds like an award is in line for this fellow! HAHA get outta town.
November 26th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
Yea wat LUKE said. after watching that video with the girl a couple months ago i dont know about the future. but if u have dreams go for it. Is he trying to be pro for rollerblade or razors? if he does become pro for razors then theres something wrong with the industry. and for team rollerblade i seriously hate the team and dont care. and if u want something dont make videos about it and look conceded and cocky. JUST DO IT!
November 26th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
skating is what you do..not who you are….that’s what brink said..
November 27th, 2010 at 12:10 am
Why the hell r u talking about it. Ur a fucking joke. Just do it and shut up. Why the fuck do u think u can just start blading again and be a professional in a few months when everyone else in the game has been working on that for years and years. Get the fuck out of here Nick uhas
November 27th, 2010 at 12:19 am
i say fair play and good luck mate
November 27th, 2010 at 12:21 am
nice tricks
fuck the haters
if u are good, u will be noticed =)
November 27th, 2010 at 12:44 am
Hell yea nick, i feel like this series is a great idea. I feel like it could be a show where every season is a new blader and their struggle to become pro. Plus Uhas is still extremely good and can definitely do it again.
November 27th, 2010 at 12:47 am
erm 7th in a comp in north america makes you a pro? i thought it was being payed to blade? and i broke my leg and had to have surgery but i was back on my skates after about 4 months so i dont realy understand how breaking your wrist could stop you from rollerblading for 2 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpSSfpW6-4U -check out my video of me skating in my cast.
chatting bulshit aside this guy kills it.
November 27th, 2010 at 12:55 am
ive met Uhas before and he has the tricks and style plus he is really down to earth I am not sure how this will help your image but anyways good luck go for the gusto
November 27th, 2010 at 1:27 am
thats fucking gay
November 27th, 2010 at 1:34 am
i liked this.its cool
November 27th, 2010 at 1:46 am

November 27th, 2010 at 4:10 am
^^ LMFAO its retarded how much they look alike!!;
nick uhas is a long forgotten skater that wants to make a comeback..
yeah his tricks were good but his style was never THAT great
good luck.. and btw your chick is probably tired of your dumbass anyways
id pork the shit out of her
November 27th, 2010 at 4:16 am
hey nick..stop begging so much.. because you sound like a begger! just prove yourself at comps and video sections but dont make a videos like this when theres younger better skaters then you. u fell off man.just skate for fun!
November 27th, 2010 at 4:18 am
football player. this is gahbage. saying that you were on top of your game makes you look stupid if you really weren’t. too bro-ed out to be taken seriously by most rollerbladers.
November 27th, 2010 at 4:19 am
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha wtf.fuuullll foorcee

fucking spot on
November 27th, 2010 at 5:21 am
This is exactly the personality which would make me not buy a skate haha.
November 27th, 2010 at 5:22 am
hed have a lot better chance of going pro again WITHOUT videos like this. you’re destroying any thought anyone might have of wanting to be like you.
You killed your own marketing, good job
November 27th, 2010 at 5:47 am
what a fucking joke. everyone who does real shit in blading has hurt themselves i don’t feel sorry for you. i hope you dont make pro. – a h8r
November 27th, 2010 at 6:06 am
I was about to share that videos coz there is some pretty tremendous tricks…but dude…srsly…stop talking if u were on fuckin reality TV show.
November 27th, 2010 at 6:26 am
oh my god this is flammingly guy
this has to be a joke
do you have a donation website i can go to and pledge 10 pairs of wheels?
November 27th, 2010 at 6:34 am
so is this going to be a reality tv show? first off, why nick uhaus? he’s so normal and lame…
this guy definitely won’t make blading look cool… you can try as hard as you want, but wtf is this about anyway… brazil please comment and tell us wtf this is all about? what are you trying to do? what is this season premier shit about?
November 27th, 2010 at 6:37 am
this guy would be better of being harry potters taller stunt double… but please, i don’t want to see guys like this “going for pro” or anything coming off like brink again. PEACE RIP!
November 27th, 2010 at 6:45 am
to “WTF”
you’d watch it if it was haffey of aragon? they’re already pro man, if this dude is gonna TRY to be pro, it would be interesting to watch his efforts, whether he succeeds of fails.
I’ll watch this shit, its highly relevant to our sport/culture.. maybe even progression.
would be good to see if he’s got what it takes though, so before anyone bags him out,lets see if he’s got the juice!
November 27th, 2010 at 7:23 am
This is difficult to watch. It makes me cringe. Makes me uncomfortable. Like i’m watching the fucking Office or something. Embarrassing.
November 27th, 2010 at 9:21 am
they should have left the wrist as is and removed his tongue
November 27th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Nice try at an mtv feel there brazil, shame you failed sooo badly!!
This is a perfect example of being good at a particular field of something. Stick to the street skating brazil, seems to be all your good at. That was utter pish!
Uhas is gd though, I’ve seen far worse dooche bags in videos that all you guys see to love!
November 27th, 2010 at 10:00 am
reminds me of Kenny Powers a bit.
Brazil = Stevie
November 27th, 2010 at 10:05 am
Way to rip off the Life + font/style Brazillionaire wtf I never get this pissed at editing but you have pulled shit like this too many times to count STOP SUCKING AT EDITING
November 27th, 2010 at 10:48 am
going for pro !!! ok cool man !!
not like anyone cares !
it’s your life
probably the most useless video ever posted on rollernews !
November 27th, 2010 at 11:59 am
He’s good but his personality scares me??? Reminds me of mormons???
November 27th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
your PRO, and im Santa Claus
November 27th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
… I’ve I wouldn’t be pro now, I allready had quit anyway
November 27th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
How can you not find that entertaining? It’s a reality show about rollerblading. Nick is an amazing skater with the personality and background to pull this off. Brazil’s gotten himself on the world stage and is now using this opportunity to promote rollerblading. Where is the fail in this? They’re about to bring so much money into the rollerblading industry. They are about to present rollerblading as a substitute for the initial life-changing action sports encounter kids usually have with skateboarding. The tricks shown in that were undoubtedly pro-status, given their time period. The very fact that he is no longer pro shows both he and the industry know he has some work to do. Do you doubt his performance? Watch and see if he fails. Do you want to see more hammers and huge transfers? I doubt you’ll be disappointed. Then, when the kids buy the skates and end up at your skatepark, you can be the one to present rollerblading to them the way you think it should be. You can be the one to “teach them well.”

If this is supposed to be a pilot for a TV show then it’s already flawed. No network would ever take this on for a couple of reasons:
1. Why is it shot infront of a chroma screen and left?
2. Why is the contrast in the interviews so high? I doubt those colour are broadcast safe.
3. The audio has clearly just been recorded with the cameras built in microphone and is aweful.
4. He keeps referring to rolling as “skating” and there’s already a sport that has established itself as that – skateboarding!
5. There’s no original style or anything captivating about the editing, footage or visuals.
Ultimately, it lacks in every department. It’s a good idea done badly. I’d suggest going back to the drawing board, making a professional quality pilot and selling the idea to a network instead of doing a botch job and releasing it on the internet where no one other than rollers will see it. And judging by the comments on this, not many of them will even bother.
…just a bit of constructive criticism for you.
November 27th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
nobody cares uhas.
i dont like your style!
u dont make blading look good!
just keep on having sex with your blonde bitch and lets get another contestant for this so called SHOW!!!
November 27th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Sadly ironic how he comes across like the worlds worst actor and is actually speaking about his own life and experiences!
November 27th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
the Kenny Powers and Stevie comparison made me giggle
November 27th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
coool and all hes skating gain but its real lame you guys are advertising this shit. stop talking and go out and blade. thats the real way to do it
November 28th, 2010 at 12:49 am
wow all of you are dicks.. atleast he is motivated to get back to where he was.. I give him props just for not looking like a fuck-up like broskow and farmer and some of these other kids that skate.. im embarassed to be associated with rollerblading with what its becoming–tight pants, fucked up hair looking like a homeless person, gay ass shirts… anyways.. i would watch it
November 28th, 2010 at 12:53 am
all those clips were from like four five years ago, he aint fuckin with shit like that anymore, still a dope skater though, oh btw theres a difference between pro status and being pro for some teams roster, know the difference internet haters!
November 28th, 2010 at 6:56 am
shit was hilarious!

November 28th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
nice story bra, now pls die
November 29th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I think this is cool, you ever think “I wish so and so came back to blade” Nick Uhas is doing that. Hes coming back to try to hang with some of the best. Im sure he knows what he is up against. I’d keep up with the documentry.
November 30th, 2010 at 12:49 am
that dude Scott was right on about him looking like the dickhead brother, Derrick, from Stepbrothers… that shit was cracking me up.
and the other dude who said it makes him uncomfortable, like watching The Office… hahaha!!
I’m not gonna lie, this is a bit douchey, but Uhas seems like a mainstream normal dude who makes people outside of rollerblading think ok, this guy is pretty cool, and he fucking shreds on a pair of rollerblades.
I try not to care too much about what people outside of our rollerblading community think of us, but the truth is a lot of people look at the clothes, and the style, and the partying, and they think it’s a joke, something for punk kids who need to grow up. I don’t know, but sometimes I think dudes like Uhas and Brazilionaire do way more in terms of promoting the positive image of rollerblading than those of us in the community are willing to give them credit for.
November 30th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
BC- Who cares what Broskow and Farmer wear. They still kill it. Also I met Nick at SDSF. He kills it too so he will be back soon.
December 1st, 2010 at 3:23 am
i shit that video out of my ass
