3 op reis NYC Rollerblading Segment

September 11th 2010 on a Saturday afternoon a film crew from the Netherlandic show, 3 op Reis, filmed local NYC skaters at the Wall Street area in Manhattan, NY for their Dutch worldwide travel show. The skaters were to be featured in their NYC segment. This video is an edited version of the show just showcasing their coverage of the New York City rollerblading scene. The film crew was inspired to showcase our scene by a previous article on I Roll NY written by Aulistar Mark. See the behind the scenes photos of the segment here.

“3 op Reis (translated ‘Channel 3 Travels’) is a series created by a team of passionate travelers, produced by Dutch national broadcaster BNN.
