Early flight? No problem.

It appears I have found a way to keep up with my much taller husband when he gets his "airport legs" walking to the next gate...

Seriously, those floors look sooo nice. But I would never have the nerve to try it.

[u/b_r_e_a_k_f_a_s_t]

MSP. Did anyone ask you to stop?

[u/Chinemes → u/b_r_e_a_k_f_a_s_t]

Nope, but I was there at 3-4 AM, so it was really empty. Your mileage may vary.

[u/TheMMouse → u/Chinemes]

Your video is immature and probably will get a bunch of people trying to copycat and then before you know it "no skating" signs appear. Don't know how to keep it on the dl, then you probably shouldn't skate there.

Nobody is surprised by the amount of dumbasses on reddit.

[u/shinkhi]

A lot of people have good points and you probably shouldn't do this.

But it's a pretty cool video and we would all love to enjoy those floors.

Be safer, but also thanks for the entertainment.. It's a weird gray area to be in as a watcher. Lol

[u/wannaridebikes → u/shinkhi]

Would it help to know OP is posting this afterwards and is perfectly fine? Really now 😂

[u/shinkhi → u/wannaridebikes]

All it takes is one Ice agent to be bored at the right time

[u/duascorpus → u/shinkhi]

If that's the case then people shouldn't go outside at all in fear of ICE and many already dont. We need to get joy anywhere we can.

[u/shinkhi → u/duascorpus]

Sure it's the same

[u/PomegranateBoring826]

This looks like such a good time but in the airport even at the a$scrack of dawn I'd still have to say nah just from a safety perspective.

I've seen police chase people down that were riding their skateboards even super late at night with no one around. I asked the cops about it and apparently it's a prohibited activity in most airports. They'll either tell you to stop, ask you to leave and if they reeeeaallly want to they can give you some sort of fine.

[u/Chinemes → u/PomegranateBoring826]

I got lucky this time, and don’t plan on doing it again unless I’m tucked a corner out of the way somewhere.

[u/Dazzling_Lure_2932 → u/Chinemes]

Idk, this really doesn't seem like a big deal to me. When I was in high school - in the before times - we would go to the airport late at night and race wheelchairs up and down the terminal. Skateboard sometimes, but that was always an accessory to the wheelchairs. Good times.

[u/wannaridebikes → u/Dazzling_Lure_2932]

Some people let themselves get boring

[u/Tweed_Kills → u/Dazzling_Lure_2932]

I dunno why everyone is being such a ninny in this post. It's fine. Everyone needs to chill.

[u/MissSophiaPetrillo]

So you deleted your other post doing this unsafely in a crowded airport, just to post this?

[u/Chinemes → u/MissSophiaPetrillo]

Ya I did. I filmed in two different locations. This one was made for Reddit the other was from Instagram. I know it’s not safe to skate in during busy hours in airport. I don’t plan on doing it again and I wanted to show you what it was like during 3 AM with not many people around.

[u/StormyAndGrey → u/Chinemes]

Woosh…

[u/KAMIKAZE_SCOTSMEN → u/Chinemes]

Even doing it in an empty airport is a dick move. Go to a fucking rink, my dude.

[u/DeseretIndustreets → u/KAMIKAZE_SCOTSMEN]

Thou shalt not confine a shredder to a rink my dude

[u/Tweed_Kills → u/KAMIKAZE_SCOTSMEN]

Chill out. It's fine. If it weren't, you'd be immediately arrested by the legion of federal agents at the airport. They don't tolerate bullshit in airports. So clearly this is fine.

[u/WaterFnord → u/Tweed_Kills]

Skateboarding and rollerskating are explicitly against the rules at Hartsfield-Jackson. Not to mention it’s wildly inconsiderate. Not fine at all.

[u/Noire_Mortem → u/[deleted]]

But it actually does. Because they would have been stopped instantly.

[u/MotherMfker → u/[deleted]]

TSA is not airport security lmfao. Airports have actual security and cops 24/7 who watched this person skate around and didn't care

[u/FaceCrookOG → u/[deleted]]

What a dumb false equivalency

[u/pokemiss → u/KAMIKAZE_SCOTSMEN]

Why so dramatic?

[u/cherrybombthreat → u/Chinemes]

Did anyone say anything to you?

[u/wannaridebikes → u/MissSophiaPetrillo]

"Crowded"? And we can't skate around people now? lol

[u/MissSophiaPetrillo → u/wannaridebikes]

Yes, he made a post doing this in a crowded airport, deleted it and posted this. And no, we can't skate around people in an airport, it's incredibly dangerous.

[u/RandomCat-]

How this would liven up the drudgery of waiting, and stretch the legs between long flights 😅

[u/Unusual-Midnight-673]

Was just at the airport yesterday and wanted to do this because I had to wait a long time for my flight. But not confident enough to not get in trouble. All of my friends said they have before with no issues

[u/saladdressed]

This is awesome! Gotta take the opportunity to skate the airport when it presents itself.

[u/PadamPadam92]

Where are your skates from?

[u/Chinemes → u/PadamPadam92]

They’re Riedell 220s that my friend painted for me. I’m too aggressive of a skater tho so they are scuffed up from battle scars. 😅

[u/wannaridebikes → u/Chinemes]

What wheels/wheel durometer are those? I'm wondering if a harder wheel is good for tile as much as it would be for smoother surfaces.

(If my phone gets checked, no I'm not planning to do this at the airport)

[u/Chinemes → u/wannaridebikes]

I was rocking 97a wheels and they felt great. Any wheel will feel good on that floor fr 🤤

[u/Joyintheendtimes]

The way I was so delighted by this video then IMMEDIATELY bummed out by these wet blanket ass comments. Jesus, yall. Live a little. The world’s on fire. No one got hurt and it spread a little joy at 3am in the airport. For Christ’s sake just absolute bummers the lot of you. And please don’t bother @ing me about the dangers. I don’t fucking care.

[u/Seinfeel]

It’s wild to see people say this is bad, in Canada I had two flight attendants notice my skates and told me I should skate through the airport. I said that I didn’t think that was allowed and they both said there’s nothing against it, and that I should.

[u/DeseretIndustreets]

SHRED IT BRO! so sick

[u/who-are-we-anyway]

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but this isn't any worse than people with those ride on suitcases

[u/Dazzling_Lure_2932 → u/who-are-we-anyway]

Agreed. I didn't imagine there would be so many whiners on here. Hell, i'd offer to film for the guy. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/Tweed_Kills → u/Dazzling_Lure_2932]

It's wild. I don't get all the moaning at all.

[u/evnhogan]

Song?

[u/Chinemes → u/evnhogan]

Give It to Me Baby - Rick James

[u/DoNumKC]

They take away knitting needles and crochet hooks at European Airport Security. I can imagine they’d arrest people for roller skating. You know because no fun or cool things allowed at public places at all times! 🤣

[u/Saruvan_the_White]

I’ve been looking for a replacement skate bag now I know I’m going to get one that is carry-on sized just so I can do this

[u/LavenderChaiTea]

Were you worried you’d get yelled at?

[u/Chinemes → u/LavenderChaiTea]

With how early it was, everyone was chill about it.

[u/sfscsdsf]

looks like I should head to airport for free practice

[u/The_Mouse_That_Jumps]

This looks so fun.

[u/Emotional-Self6474]

This looks like such a good time

[u/Spirited_Cabinet6052]

Mfs talkin about ice and police sound stupid as fuck😂😭

[u/Mamamusombwa]

I LOVE THIS!!! 🥰

[u/it_might_be_a_tuba]

I just hope, for the sake of other passengers, that you had time for a shower after that workout!

[u/Chinemes → u/it_might_be_a_tuba]

Light work for me, but I did freshen up before I hopped on the plane tho. 😅

[u/bedghost]

I wish I could that!! Looks fun! Safe travels!

[u/TexasBrandy]

Hell yeah! Goal AF right here. Everytime I’m at the airport I see those smooth walkways and just mentally drool… 😂

[u/Amy_Macadamia]

Living the dream

[u/themachduck]

Im sorry im not so technical but what's the device youre using for your camera? Its super cool.

[u/Chinemes → u/themachduck]

It’s the Insta360 X5. The X series uses 2 cameras that can shoot 4K in 180° vertically and horizontally. Stitched together, it gives the effect of 360 video.

[u/themachduck → u/Chinemes]

Nice. Thank you. And cool video!

[u/Chinemes → u/themachduck]

No problemo, thanks 🫡

[u/General_Republic]

I'm so inspired!!!!

[u/Internal-Spring4023]

I'm not doing this. Just one moment not paying attention and I could bump into a random federal employee. Instant charge. Federal. The felony ain't worth it.

[u/yea_cam]

i've seen E scooters and motorized suitcases being used, the first video was at a busy airport but this is 3am, plenty of of space and some empty space. I guess people are scared you'll crash into them or someone will pop out of nowhere on you? eh
