Cityblades Sections from Fancy Feet 1 and 2 City Blades 2020-05-14 | It's been a... uh, reasonable amount of time, I guess? So we decided to put up our sections from these videosFancy Feet started as a video collaboration between us, Shaun Unwin, and Tiago Le Meur. The first video was filmed largely over Spring Break 2018 in Wichita, Denver, and Orlando, and released in June of that year.One year and one shed of a sponsor later; we filmed Fancy Feet 2 over a weekend in Denver, again Spring Break 2019. This time in addition to Tiago and Shaun we added Lawrence Ingram, and attempted to add another youtuber, but ended up dropping him after... well, it didn't work out for various reasons, lol.Thanks for watching!

The BEST bearing spacers in the world... are they worth it? City Blades 2019-08-05 | Hey CO30, been a while since I ventured into some "deep tech", aaaand the other day someone sent me a total bro-science article about bearing spacers, so I decided to take this opportunity to debunk some myths. Hope it helps!Point of note--plastic frames generally have the opposite problem as aluminum--wheel rub is a more common problem than wheel wiggle, because plastic flexes more than aluminum. Small spacers designed to basically "stay out of the way" are a solid approach if you struggle more with rub than wiggle.Follow us on Instagram!Drew/Team - @citybladesinstagram.com/citybladesBrock - @Brocoli_skatesinstagram.com/brocoli_skates

Kia Sofia skates City Blades 2019-03-21 | A traveling ice show was coming through town, and I recognized one of the girls from Instagram. I decided to contact her and see if she would be interested in making a video, and as luck would have it, she had an off day and happened to have her skates with her.We found an hour and a half of ice time that Wednesday morning and, despite being an off-day for a professional skater, the sight of a big open patch of ice all to herself brought out an immediate and infectious sense of joy; she stepped on the ice with the same rush of enthusiasm as a child jumping into a pool on a hot summer day.Although slightly out of her element, as making a skate video isn't exactly standard practice in the world of figure skating, she came prepared with ideas for lines, was extremely coachable, creative, and again, enthusiastic about the work we were doing--I'm not sure I got a single video clip where she's not smiling and laughing at some point.Shooting was a blast, I'm very proud of the finished product... 10/10 would do it again.Thanks for watching!
