Rich Hayter burns through some narrow rough streets

See this social icon list in the original post

“Skating narrow rough streets with sprints & speed bursts - inline skating, Rollerblading. Inline skating narrow cracked paths with any efficiency involves altering the way I skate. Typical strides and crossovers can be difficult due to wheel slippage on poor surfaces, and rhythm is often disrupted. Making steady progress involves adapting my skating posture; strides and crossovers become more compact, and the one-footed boost becomes invaluable. Finding the smoothest line is both challenging and rewarding, and spotting those places where you can put down some power and blast is ultra satisfying!” - Rich Hayter
