what a gay little kid
February 18th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
He has a pro skate do u?
February 18th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
cool, so now I can true topsoul head high ledges?!
haha
February 18th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
don’t know why he has a pro skate, he’s not really all that
February 18th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Out of character for how I perceived Demetrious but he did a really good job. I am shocked at how flexible and in shape he is, not cause I didn’t think he was an athlete but because, fuck, those were some serious moves. Its obvious he takes skating seriously enough to work out and practice those stretches a lot and I am glad to see this. I bothers me when people (haffey, farmer cough cough) laugh because people call them athletes because they don’t work out. Think of the level people could get themselves and the sport to with a little physical conditioning. This video was helpful and I will try to add some modified (easier) versions of these stretches to my day.

blahhhhh….. please look up the definition of gay. and please stop making fun of a kid who is a) skating with demetrious george and other pros all the time at woodward which was certainly my dream as a kid and pretty damn bad ass and b) a fucking kid who is having fun. Im sure you were a “gay” little kid at one point too, or did you get ripped out of the womb an ignorant arrogant highschool piece of trash?
February 18th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
nah i’m just saying, he’s not taking it seriously atall he’s just messing around and being a stupid little gimpy kid
February 18th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
good tips. Dem can jump higher than anyone I’ve seen.
February 18th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Amazing. I’m off to the gym…
February 18th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
@ blahhh
maybe because he´s a little kid?!
February 18th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
no offense but i think i would burst into laughter if Demetrious laid next to me and suddenly busted those yoga moves and expected my unconditioned ass to do them next.
jonnys going to be a great skater as he grows up and i think he comes across as a great kid, i think richies being a great example of being a father who connects with his son, i think everyone wishes they could have had a relationship like that with there parents.
stretches as amazing, im going to get on these for good health, turn my flabby beer gut into lean muscle.
February 18th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
You really do have to stretch before skating iv lernt that these days my back kills if i dont stretch before hand. Great tips there.
February 18th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
good shit!
but damn! demitrious is bustin out some wicked sex positions i need to teach my girl hahahaha
February 18th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
I liked this actually it was very helpful info on stretching from a pro.
February 18th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
That was awesome. Real good tips that definitely help with skating. Good job Demitrious, that was great! JOJO laughing was hilarious!
February 18th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
nhrb i agree with u my dad wud never be like jonnys dad
my dad hates every thing i like it sucks
February 18th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
this was great, anyone who is slating this is foolish.
his ability to jump higher than anyone in our sport proves these exercises are good for it.
]question for dem though.
have you tried doing them on a balance board?
that will make them even more hardcore and will strengthen your core even more!
see vew do’s!
February 18th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
FP ^_^
The one-legged exercise he’s doing there is called a “pistol” and it really does help with explosive leg power.
Will have to try some of the core stuff he was doing.
February 18th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
yeah im pretty sure the fact that hes like 6’1″ 6’2″ has nothing to do wit it.
February 18th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
columbia peru n equador wonder what there be doing over there i know what ide be doing lol
February 18th, 2010 at 9:44 pm

February 18th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
This edit was a lot more professional than I expected. Good advice Demetrious. I agree with Robbins^ why not maximize your body’s potential?
February 18th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
P.S. i wanna see Billy Prislin do one of his stylish kindgrinds.
February 18th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
lol were not all kids! Im gonna be 27 soon
February 18th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Demetrios is an amazing skater and person..I think its great he is sharing his personal regiment with us..I have slowly started stretching more and what not..Rob G is a huge influence with that..im gonna put together a Rollerbalders work out routine..Take highlghts from both dudes and put together something to do on daily basis..Im 29 years old, and i have not taken proper care of my body..big mistake!! the time is now to change for the better!!
February 18th, 2010 at 11:37 pm
i never smoked a cigarette… =D
nice tips.
February 18th, 2010 at 11:51 pm

February 18th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
@sigma
ganja!!!
February 19th, 2010 at 12:57 am
that switch blunt hit was laced demetrios i try those and fall on my face!!!
February 19th, 2010 at 1:23 am
i love these vids
demetrious is my favourite skater by far and this is sick
didnt realise how focused and dedicated he was. he really is in good shape too
might give some of these a try… doubt il be able to pull them off like him though he made them look so easy!
February 19th, 2010 at 2:05 am
good example with this joint to all kids
February 19th, 2010 at 2:13 am
FINALY A ROLLERBLADING PRO WITH BRAINS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
al the guys that make fun with this: thats why you guys can only skate for 10 min. and then you need to take a brake or blow your pain away…
pro rollerblading is an intensive sport…
watch & learn kids !
February 19th, 2010 at 2:17 am
it def wasnt a cigarette, most definitely medicinal.
February 19th, 2010 at 2:19 am
doesnt smoke cigs…but smokes something else.
lots of rollerblader pro’s got brains. especially the ones who’ve been pro’s for a long time.
just fyi to the younger kids who are seriously into skating, do lots of stretching. it takes a long time to get in that good of shape
February 19th, 2010 at 3:40 am
i know how demetriuos is gettin that high all the time
February 19th, 2010 at 4:11 am
ah ha ha, I love that he just blazes pretty much straight after saying he had “never smoked a cigarette in his life”….. So glad he isn’t straight edge. And I’m pretty sure that Richie Valequez’s child is a girl???
But I’m just thinking though, anyone past twenty that hasn’t had much/any luck in rollerblading, why worry about being “good” now? In my opinion, the best rollerbladers are the lazy ones with steeze, if everyone started stretching and becoming ‘real’ athletes, the sport loses it’s personality, not slating Demitrious cause he is actually sick….but I just think all this health crap that is coming out of Rollerblading makes it seem, sort of, censored….like, the comment further up pointing out that it’s no example to smoke on these edits, like it’s a problem. Fuck, I would much rather watch this guy drop a sweatstance on a triple drop kink whilst blazing a joint, than stretching for ten minutes then jumping high.
BRING BACK B-CAM.
February 19th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Demetrious just became my hero. i didnt think anyone could skate as good as he does after injured knees. torn acls anit nothing to fuck with.
February 19th, 2010 at 11:57 am
ahahhaah. that made my night. thats a full dose of dem right there. got to love it.
February 19th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Demetrious’s skating didn’t used to interest too much although i did have alot of respect for what he was doing on his boots. Since his One magazine interview and the online videos displaying his personality and what he has been through, i have gained even more respect for him. He seems like such a nice guy and i’m now an avid watcher and follower of his rollerblading. Good work Demetrious and good luck for the future.
February 19th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
yeah it might look stupid but its not its a basic stretch work out that most pro sports players do it does keep your body flexible and in shape which in return will make you live longer have a healthy long life and give you more energy through out the day and longer stamina these work outs are great im staring them now and im gonna keep doing them everyday till i jump over ppls heads
February 19th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Dope Demetrious you doing a good job !!! Seriously this skater is well nice. Streaching is soo usefull and will never do you any arm !!!
you who behind your screen say that the rollerbladder never strech in the past, what you know, what you know of what happen behind the cam did you actually live with them ???
February 19th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Interesting video but it wasn’t necessary to show HOW TO SMOKE while doing these exercise.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:18 am
Try those fishbrain stretches on a flat rail and bone it out and go up and down and switch it up. I even went as far as doing 180s and then squatting down and coming back up. That will get your balance up and your strength but my knees are old and crack all the time still so I also take supplements. I can jump relatively high too.
February 20th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
god i hate that little kid.
February 21st, 2010 at 4:06 am
I’m not even 6 ft tall 5′ 11 and a half.. haha… just had to point that out.. And sharing some tips on stretching should not take away from the industry’s character.. Hope all can push forward and get healthy.. Just wait for this South America Tour footage.. Billy and I killing it with Jeremy Stephenson to cover it all!!
February 27th, 2010 at 11:32 am
I know that tip for some time now. Put who much it will help yo
