Randy Spizer -Roadhouse- (31): 2012 Quick Shred Shesh
Known to skaters of the nineties as “Roadhouse”. Randy Spitzer has come to symbolize true street skating and longevity in a sport that tears through its star athletes.
He turned pro in 1996, at the age of sixteen and won the ASA World Champinships in 1997. For the next couple of years randy went underground.
He started a skate company, Deshi, a clothing company, Esoteric and a wheel company, Second regime, before reemerging in 2002 as a competitive force. (Asa Events).

Very good to see this morning. I wonder how many people on this site even know who Roadhouse is. Thanks for still holding it down Randy:)
March 23rd, 2012 at 12:47 pm
wish i was that good after thous years, still remember watching his clips to juiced up before rolling, pros from Silesia man !!!!!!
March 23rd, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Living legend!! Great skater, designer and fisherman :D.
Best front fahrvs in the game.
March 23rd, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Sick Spizers back! Had his Senate roudhouse crayola wheels back in the day! That flared out truespin mizou full spizer!! Glad to see a return of another legend, if anyone could phone the beast Bryan Jaggers and let him know it’s his turn would be awesome :-D
March 23rd, 2012 at 12:54 pm
I realized a long time ago all these dudes are much better than some of these 14 year olds who will on day be 20 put them out to be. Acid True Mizou…
I don’t even got that on my curb whoadie son!
HAHA!! There should be more than 50 comments if more than 50 people over the age of 22 and are LEGITIMATE OG’s, WORKING HARD, SKATING HARD, MAINTAINING HARD, and checking the page DAILY.
I can no doubt say I was blading before ASA was even around. I’m before Senate really popped off and had distro.
Randy is a Badass Angler too! He is much better at fishing than true fishing… See what I did thar? This dude pretty much rules at life if you haven’t noticed.
March 23rd, 2012 at 1:00 pm
So good to see where all these pros are now. Gotta remember our roots!
March 23rd, 2012 at 1:09 pm

March 23rd, 2012 at 4:18 pm
This is what style is kids!! No 450 huckfest to sloppy grinds and bad rollaways. Just clean, fast, precise blading…. still blading like a pro!
March 23rd, 2012 at 4:30 pm

Randy was my idol when i was young and he still rock.
I wanna have some deshi dk1 again!
March 23rd, 2012 at 5:38 pm

March 23rd, 2012 at 5:43 pm
Pure killer!!!!!
March 23rd, 2012 at 5:44 pm
L E G E N D !!!! Great to see him again!!!
March 23rd, 2012 at 6:18 pm
he fell of so intense. Rollerblading has no continuity, thats why it has no future
March 23rd, 2012 at 6:19 pm
* off
Your comment was a bit too short. fuck off you know im right.
March 23rd, 2012 at 6:29 pm
i skated this bowl with Roadhouse a few months back. we brought a camera but forgot to film. that happens when you are having fun, like we used to. Roadhouse is the definition of LEGEND. i just followed his lead.
louie z
March 23rd, 2012 at 6:56 pm
This shitty edit made my day :)
March 23rd, 2012 at 7:00 pm
LEGEND!! Roadhouse and Louie Z. always skated with so much speed and control, that as a little grom, when I got to see them skate in person, I was amazed that they fell, like the rest of is.
Gotta love it, to watch the legends still ripping, bucking the passage of time.
March 23rd, 2012 at 7:09 pm
Randy Spizer IS Rollerblading! Those were the years 2000-2006! That was my era of Rollerblading and I know a lot of people like that era better than Rollerblading these dayz! This man is a LEGEND so all of U gremos that don’t know your Rollerblading history have to RESPECT what Randy DID and STILL will do to Rollerblading as a way of life! Saludos desde Puerto Rico and Roll4Life! I’m and OG myself in case U don’t know… :D Yescaaaaaaaa!
March 23rd, 2012 at 7:38 pm
RN should have posted his Noir section, every time I hear that shitty Justin Timberlake song I think of Roadhouse and his stupid 4 tone bleach job hair saying in the most high pitched voice “we gotta sneak Charlie Ashby in the back” (which is from the end of IMYTA but whatever)
I love Randy Spizer, he was in my top 3 favorite skaters of all time. Fuck SSM, conference send Randy some carbons after all him and Louie fucking invented the general idea of them.
March 23rd, 2012 at 8:18 pm
This is bar far the best thing i have seen on this site. Made my day.
March 23rd, 2012 at 8:27 pm
lol didn’t he skate to “Spice Girls” in on of his sections ! lol just remembered that :)
March 23rd, 2012 at 8:48 pm
put his millenium section!!!
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:18 pm
roadhouse was my rolling idol while i was growing up. now he’s a pro bass fisher too. dude still rips.. keep it up randy even if it is just for fun now in days.. i just turned 27 & i’ve been rolling since ’97. never for the money, i’ve never been good enough, but i’m gonna keep going till i can’t no more.
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:18 pm
needs moar comments
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:00 pm
Dont forget he always skated with a smile in his face. Rollerblading has to be fun and he was one of the most important icons during the golden age of blading.
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:30 pm
his section in 50/50 juice is one of my all time favorites, go on the spizer
March 24th, 2012 at 12:26 am
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 24th, 2012 at 1:10 am
that senate ad the end was so fucking good!
March 24th, 2012 at 1:14 am
makes you realize just how pathetic skaters like Broski and the Kelsos are
March 24th, 2012 at 2:20 am
I think this is 47.. ROADHOUSE!!!!!
March 24th, 2012 at 2:40 am
fuck yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 24th, 2012 at 3:58 am
I think i got fifty and i didn’t thik this edit was good at all. every old pro skates this good. but i did love watching the VG3 section brought me back to the golden years.
March 24th, 2012 at 4:01 am
I got fifty. ha ha. randy could have been a life long double for makali caulkin.
March 24th, 2012 at 5:27 am
dope seein him skate like he never stopped….@Nick G. him n zamora were head of deshi’s idea but the skate was already made under USD designed from the Pointer shoe and they just decided to bring randy and louie into the mix and suggested a new diff brand…just sayin…..id like to see him on some USD either way cuz i dont like ssm either
March 24th, 2012 at 6:00 am
bow down ufs kids roadhouse is in the building
March 24th, 2012 at 8:15 am
So glad to see Roadhouse still skating!!!
Everyone….and I mean EVERYONE wanted to be like Roadhouse back in the day.
If anyone has his Senate “crayola” wheels for sale I will buy them right away!
Please let me know! http://www.facebook.com/ryanlakey
March 24th, 2012 at 10:22 am
Ho…….ly……….fuck.
Spizer is back. Fucking SPIZER!
That is my day fucking MADE!!!!!
Back of the net.
March 24th, 2012 at 11:13 am
Guy would be better if he didnt spend so much time on the xbox
March 24th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Poor skating, this guy isn’t good enough to get sponsered
March 24th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
i mean just did a stall and grinded a MINI RAMP QUATER one side…is this meant to be a joke? all hyped for that? I didn’t even see one 540 kinegrind
March 24th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
Im a long time lurker, but I had to post when I saw this.
Roadhouse was such an inspiration for many of us.
Im 27 now but I still remember having the Senate Toykillas with the Roadhouse antirockers and Scribe bullets on my first pair of TRS’ like it was yesterday. Glad to see Randy is still killin it!
March 24th, 2012 at 1:39 pm
love Randy
suprised how solid he still is, great style is timeless
VG3 was the 2nd video I ever got
shit, royals were new school back then
randy was one of the first I saw do 270 back royal and later 270 back farv, massively tech fro the day, but he also went big too
compared to Arlo or Chris Edwards who were “adults”, but Randy was my age. Most skaters were kids at the time and while we looked up to Arlo, Tom Fry, Rene, etc, we could directly relate to Randy and that, plus him being able to roll at the highest level made him a huge star back in the days when Senate would gross $10million a year.
March 24th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
people might think that his skating is weak when comparing him to the top skaters of today but believe me when I say that back in the 90s, he was as dominant as Aragon or Haffey is right now.
March 24th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Trolls are just pretending to say he sucks to get you all mad. Don’t believe the “lack of hype” hahahah Trolls. There should be more coming anytime now,haha losers.
March 24th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Fucking Legit…
March 24th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
This made my day. I didn’t expect him to come back one day. Same energy, same style, same Roadhouse.
KEEP IT UP MAN! LET THE FISH SLEEP AND WAKE UP YOUR SENSES ON ROLLING!
March 24th, 2012 at 8:10 pm
The ssm hate has to stop… I’m sorry… My homie skates Sl’s finally quit crabbing and jumped on my old montre’s… He freaked out when he got a grabbed fish first try on an ugly ledge. He not only slid faster… (probably one piece soul helped…) but was more consistent, and locked his royales perfectly.
Now I heard Sl’s had a “perfect” royale groove… just sayin’ SSM is a great skate, and they offer great support for their skaters. Everyone should try a pair that has rolled razors back in the day. SSM has barely been out a year, and look how much Whitelodge is pumping… That is BAWSS!
March 24th, 2012 at 10:04 pm
twas very nice to watch
March 25th, 2012 at 12:26 am
Always thought he looked like a little kid, and still do, but dude is legendary… Wish he was putting out as much as Shima and Julio does since I’ve come to realize what a douche Shima is in real life, and I think everyone has been seeing alitle too much of both Shima & Julio. No disrespect, just feel like those guys are being shoved down your throat, just because they are a couple of the only og’s left in the game. Would be awesome to see Roadhouse more often. And I really wish Deshi was still around, eventhough I did’nt skate them much. Always thought they were some of the more attractive skates on the market. I would like to get a pair of work boots that looked like the old-school deshis :) “and a pair of sneakers that look like REMZ”
March 25th, 2012 at 3:39 am
he’s 13 in this…wake is 15 and still cant skate street….rollerblading has regressed
March 25th, 2012 at 3:09 pm
Some of these people that make statements about Brian Shima, don’t know him. Shima is humble, treats everyone inside and out of blading with respect, and that is why his business model is working.
If he was really a douche why do mad talented skaters skate with him? Think about that. His team is LEGIT, and all the gents are tops.
I should give you shima’s number… Dude is legit.
March 25th, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Always a free spirited dude. I remember when he skated to spice girls in the Asa 97 championships in Naples, FL. Haha…now everything is so damn serious. Yo bro, I am way more underground than you.
March 26th, 2012 at 7:29 am
I remember being 8 years old and seeing Roadhouse in the DB and Box Mags, where i was living it was hard to get your hands on any skate video due to living on a isolated island, i saw him in on asa and was always killing it and imyta detroit and did the same, most respect to the Og pros that still love to blade, it show the true love for rollerblading
