I met Ab while sating in Croydon. He has been skating for more then a year and developed his own theory about balance.



Vlog in text:
picked up I just came from the Barbie machine Barbie movie is so good it's so funny and listen folks I've just came back from the Barbie movie all right so this is not this is not a can but this is out my friend is interskating today is going to show us a few tricks and his own theory about uh he was going to tell us about his own theory about skating balance I think it's not it doesn't just applied to skating but it's important for skating um rudimentary and obvious but I don't think it was obvious for me and I don't think it's something that a lot will talk about Wednesday yeah dive deep in this place yeah all right so I think one of the first things I think you have to think about if you're thinking of starting skating is that I think when you're walking and you're holding your legs behind underneath you 've got like an A-frame you've got two feet and you kind of seem balanced but realistically if you're only a one foot you're not I think it's hard to describe probably better to show but we can do that in a minute yeah the first sort of thing to understand with rollerblading is that you're actually more often on one foot it's a little bit more like skateboarding like one foot on the board one foot pushing and you just alternate one of the hard things to get used to is when you're walking your your stay to the left to right but if you're only balancing with one foot you probably do it subconsciously but you actually want that foot right in the middle if you make like a line between your shoulders and look down that foot has to be directly in the middle of you to actually support you anywhere slightly to the side and you're going to wobble off um so yeah I think like the demonstration as I'm standing now this is what I recruit the A-frame if I make two lines for my shoulders down to the floor they're both supporting me the second I lift one foot up I'm gonna fall over now try a balanced I actually have to shift my body like this and if I look between my shoulders my foot is actually now directly in between that line so if I face you so when you're skating you're not trying to wobble onto one foot until you fall back over trying to twist yourselves and get that foot in between that line as you go forward all right so it's more of a two o'clock kind of ten o'clock movement you push you ballot you get that foot underneath your body you push and like put it underneath your body hard to describe the skates on I think it's easier to do it with your shoes all right if you're with your boots off okay how long you've been skating a year a year a year a month ago like maybe like three weeks ago it's a year all right yeah you can show your skills now I mean I did sort of demonstrate what I'm talking about play to practice is like you want to be able to get one right you're not just sort of one foot down coming

twist your whole body

[Music]

and that averages to a forward momentum all right thanks a lot for that lesson uh what would you say for anybody who just become as a skater uh

it's good like uh low impact exercise like you don't damage your knees you can do it safely uh I'm 34 and I just started my 30s I met people who started their 40s um and I don't know it's fun I think like for such good exercise like it works all your lower body all your core it's probably your arms are the only thing that don't get like the best workout but like I don't know it's not boring like going to a gym like uh it's fun and I think the things you learn to do just make you feel kind of graceful and cool you know [Music]

I don't know I can do this all day you know like it's just I've never quite felt as agile as I do now

but a nice one well thanks a lot for the interview is there any way people can get hold of you on social media so I have no you're not that person all right thanks a lot up until next time till next time cheers

[Music]


different place


all right just trying to keep my head above water at a shovel I mean just avoid the Sharks out here


[Music] dogs out here


we've been like apart a couple of times yeah yeah they said um there's really violent out here really violent I said last Saturday the four stabbings I witnessed one of them on this road that I'm sitting right here right now somebody was stabbed on Saturday and that's the constant fear everybody out here has to live with on a nightly basis I mean because like it was just a run-of-the-mill white guy who got stabbed didn't look like he was involved in these batteries no I don't know anything but it just looked like any normal person [Music] okay so you don't think he was involved well who knows who knows you know I mean you can't judge a book by its cover these days


[Music] in the Bible it's only the Bible Well somebody said I had the heart of King David yeah so I kind of like take that as inspiration and like try and sometimes like reset verses in the Bible but sometimes I said when life doesn't go your way it's hard to keep the faith


[Music]


apparently in in his uh we had only one mic going but now we've got two mics well yeah well well basically like I didn't know much about King David from the Bible yeah but apparently he went for a situation where he was that myself yeah he got put in a situation surrounded by people that is not quite fit in when he was with all the rapists and murderers and that all right and you feel the same yeah because it said like


um hearts and souls rather than who they are because I think that a lot of the drug addicts out here they're masking up pain yeah and I know that it can do better yeah especially the young ones who are like under 30. yeah who haven't experienced life they've kind of like given up and like there's more to life there's so much out there for the young the younger generation like a apprenticeship chips and stuff like that utilize it while you can [Music] alright my friend so what's happened to your life since the last interview and it changes not not really still trying to fight a good fight and how is the situation with your misses and children well um as I said I keep trying to find out information about my children yeah but then my ex-partner um likes to reclassify that as not desperate to concern but harassment because as a man in today's society obviously we're kind of labeled before we'd have got what's got known and it's just I I don't know what to do anymore because like the social services won't listen like I said she says that you hurt us yeah and the police like the other day yeah I actually caught caught caught the police lying about me


I I caught them lying and I'm like hang on a minute the police lied about you yeah it's not cold no it's not the DC statements the DC lie to the costly sergeant and I had to put them up about it and this is what the site we're living in the the authorities that be can get away with being so uh disingenuous I mean and not held accountable for the the misconduct like when I went to the the social service said look yeah because you didn't listen to my child the first time and put it back with her mom yeah she ended up running away and nearly got murdered and raped yeah so the the the blame is on you because if you listen to the talk in the first place and actually helped me yeah as the biological father wanted to said raise my child and not go against the child wishes this wouldn't have happened mm-hmm sorry to hear that so what what is it going to what is it looking like for you like are you going to have access to your children or well I don't know there's so much weird type and are they writing this for things that whatever it's just like everywhere short staffed and what stuff they have got they've got too many caseloads it's just like but do you have access to your children at the moment no you're not allowed to see yeah there's there's nothing um like legal or by the court say anything to the country yeah yeah but I said even if I go near the house you just always arrested me all right she calls the police yeah like the other day yeah it was my um it was my child's birthday 14th birthday yeah and I was I had to get my friend to go deliver the birthday presents


and it was like I can't even say sing Happy Birthday to my own child without the woman making up some [ __ ] and the police believe in it and I just don't but I just understand you yeah it's like that we want equality for women and all this yeah but not any expense of demonizing every man yeah I understand what you're saying like we said last time England is the kingdom of women it's hard to to win those cases so good luck my friend with this one and you said that the streets are getting more dangerous those days yeah there's a lot of arguments uh like for instance there's a rumor that one of my friends uh got stabbed to death but it was just a rumor thank you thank goodness for that but


yeah it's um it's a game of cat and mouse out here sometimes where are you sleeping those days uh I feel sorry for surfing sometimes in a hostel hidden everywhere whatever the wind takes you're slipping rough as well you that's your sleeping bag and sometimes you will just sleep yeah sometimes yeah the doorway oh mostly I like sleep in a parks and that because I don't like being in the open in the park but you sleep on the on the ground on the grass on the grass yeah when the bushes I'd rather be surrounded by Foxes and rats by these people see what you mean all righty well is anything else you would like to say Aaron um stay clear of Gordon


please


no come on there's a whole heap of trouble if you get home and let's stay out trust me well now it's not that bad folks you end up with more mental health then you came with


all right thanks for the interview and I will see you next time God bless peace and love to you

Mel lives in a tent - he suffers from depression - Life on the streets - London, England

 I met Mel on Leicester Square in London. The rest is a history. Have a look!

.

. . .Vlog in text: Right folks we are here with Mel who's been on the Streets of London for how long about four and a half years now all right and is this your like yeah like favorite spot this is where I have no favorites but I sit here all the time sometimes during the day sometimes come here about five o'clock four o'clock stay till about midnight one o'clock then I'll go back get my tent out and uh beautiful dog next to me and you with that with that dog yeah what's the dog's name Kaiser Kaiser yeah all right right milk tell us about you you said you your parents came from Iran yeah and you were were born here yeah so tell me how is basically been growing up in London in 60s yeah you said 63 said it was a very good in the 1970s I I went to a school in Wales I wasn't actually in London but yeah I came back to London again but I mean City Life is totally different to the way where I grew up in school you know there's more people from all sorts of nationalities which is all what I love I love it in London you see a Mini World here you can absolutely mention every nationality World career of zero almost every nationality to be here last four years [Music] most of them lovely people most of them great majority people of the world that I love so much yeah remember you you told me that in 60s no people were more aggressive probably in London carrying weapons and all sorts but now it's no longer like this because it's change shape it's changed exchange character you know it's more welcoming for tourists which is good it's like it's good for breweries to come out into our country knowing that um they're not threatened by violence and when it's all robbery and vinola so I see the difference yeah not the 60s or this probably late 70s early 80s yeah those periods yeah so that you've seen the transformation in Dalia absolutely yeah it's a much safer place than it used to be I would say that it's I can see why there's more tourists and Etc I can see the reason why that would be yeah the doggy got interested about the camera yeah you must fix the scratches here come here I'll scratch you come here come here to know what you're doing with Daddy so tell us about yourself have you got a like family wife and children okay family I don't have children I don't have a wife you know my friend in this world or family we may have it's just fake don't [ __ ] punching me and um I have always been alone since I was born in my head otherwise you'd be relying on fluffy things like that they can't always now life is serious homelessness is a serious subject you know I want to take care of them I've got to be a proper daddy make sure he gets fed he sleeps all right he's not attacked by anything so it's a whole heap of uh agenda that goes with that which I mean I've settled with it but it's not exactly appeasing it's not as if I like to do it but it is what it is and I take what I've got and I'll go forward not what I don't have so we've got our guy in front of me opportunities create that's what life is you just gotta realize that that's the case for everybody the more you expose yourself in life the more you have opportunities to improve or to not improve expose yourself to what in life you got to be active you've got to be active yeah you got to be active you gotta take part in the world whether you're homeless or not it doesn't matter you know you've got to be part of this life be being homeless is just a misfortunate situation that could happen to anybody you know I never thought a few years ago that would happen to me but it happened so you go with what you call you know not what we don't have and it's normal life is not about sitting there crying life is about challenges this is a challenge to me nothing ever stays the same the planet we are on moves 1 000 miles an hour even though you think steady nothing ever changes opportunities are always created in Frontier you've got to just have the right side to see what those are and take the right decisions maybe I took their bad decisions I ended up on the street I don't know but we got thrown out because of my dog attacking another dog and he's just continued you know the local Authority had it in for me and it just they just bombarded me with nasty nasty intentions I'm still paying rent for my flat but I'm not allowed to go in there because of the forecast between this one another doggy so I'm being bullied in a way and I'm disabled I've got disabilities mental and physical and yet I'm on the street with him in one of the richest countries you know what shut up come on man I'm just interviewing on YouTube Sorry Sorry Youtube my friend is just trying to give me a cigarette life industry that's what the serious Point here is I am Highly Educated I'm an average job because we're British shouldn't it in this country we're the praise of the world now I know very well one of the richest countries in the world and when I sit here I see sorry here I see billionaires from all sorts of nationalities walking in front of me going to casinos spending Millions thousands of pounds every night some of them come and are generous they help me out but other than that this is the life it's one of the richest countries in the world I'll speak to a lot of people from different countries and backgrounds and they say to me they don't have all those people on the street like they do we have over here so something conspiracy the Richer we are the Richer we are the more we are cruel to the people and I've got disabilities as well I'm a disabled person this is a rich country first world country to reaching someone like me on the street and there you have it what else can I say you know as for the government the shambali government we've got all tries to rip us off printing money printing money printing like no tomorrow not alone tomorrow and this money as printed is done under my name every taxpayer is given to the bank at zero rate interest yet I've got to pay that money back with interest or social symbolicness is that Stella robbery we got a crooked government they are absolutely totally gangsters yet they don't want to admit it they never believe in their own lives never ever so you never ask a rapist how much would you how long would you like to go to prison for for rape you know what he's going to say you say I'm not rapist I shouldn't go to prison so it's the same thing with this law their group of Thieves that's why they dress up in suit and tie to fool the public I have no such issues I wear a great beard because I don't want to intimidate people people come up to me all the time and scratch my brain to get some information and I always send them away happy I'm also here all the time no one ever threatens me saying you're talking rubbish I've got senses about me right and I know what's going on in this country actually only people are not strong enough to stand up and fight they'd be ripped off every day the people of this country whilst they're talking about Ukraine and everywhere else we're giving billions to Ukraine here people go and look for sandwiches in the bin how is that fair how is our government doing the sensible thing they never do I consume ultimately my enemy ultimately the only people are my friends probably the police the forces that are helping the country the nurses doctors the people I saw a demonic the evil sons of [ __ ] who just want to exploit the poor and uh make make us poorer and make the Richer richer which is what's been happening during the pandemic and even after the pandemic and it's not going to stop and forever it does I'm going to be crying about it I'm not going to stop just because million people don't understand doesn't mean I've got to go with them just because they're not thinking doesn't mean I got to be like them it's not popularity contest it's about scene what's going on in front of you and man enough for the people in a parliament would never say they're all part of the problem not the solution right that was a very deep inside Mel thanks for that that's all right and what would you like to add to that interview I mean you've been like you said you've seen people walking by what nationalities are visiting in London this day every nationality I've even seen seen people from Peru which we consider possibly third world country the person gave me some money and also said that I'm sorry that you're on the street because even in Peru we don't have people sleeping on the street that's kind of shambolic to hear me to hear that from that person it's called shambolic there's no need you know it's rubbing my face in it and who's responsible the Demonic thief in government become in charge and it's been going on for a long time when Theresa May said we want to help the poor hate is the only thing she meant it wasn't help it's hurt because ever since she said that there's more people there's more people on a poverty line as more people committed suicide because they can't feed their children in the first world country that should not be and you're asking me why shouldn't I stand up to be a privacy damn they are being forced to you know you don't gather all this information intelligence to toss it down the toilet there's a reason why you get it maybe he wants me to do something about it I mean all the same we're all different everybody is different everybody's got a different job if I've got the most important job to be allocated in the future sod it maybe I'm made to do it I just need to wake up to it a little bit more sometimes you're made for a job you may not want to do it but if you're made for it you better go and do it because you're the only person that can do it and I would love to turn this government over just by myself kick their ass kick it out to turn down the street throw them to the Wolves where they belong all right that was a lot of political information here thank you let's move away from the politics smell towards everyday life on the streets where are we now can you describe that we're in Leicester Square Leicester Square London yes and how would you describe Lester Square in the tourist map of London well I think it's a Funland area you want to say hello to a dog he's very friendly circus and to here where is Leicester Square Tube Station that stretch I would call oh thank you my darling love you thank you thank you I would say that it's a what I call it a Funland area from pig in the circus walk way all the way to Leicester Square I'd call it the Funland area Funland area Funland Funland that's what the people have gonna have fun yeah Oxo circus would be for people to do shopping here you got the casinos restaurants uh Cinemas me and basically to have fun I'll sit here because I got depression I'm blinding one eye a lot of depression anxiety it helps me a lot I'm interviewing do you mind it helps me a lot to sit here where the lights are watch young beautiful people having fun and it inspires me opens up my heart because that's what I need men with depression always need to visualize happier things to get themselves out and I think to myself I'm doing my utmost you know the alternative for that would be going into a tent get stuck earlier now meet my dog to do what you know to maybe get drunk and I don't like doing that because when I'm drunk I can't get hold of my dog you know he can take advantage of me so yeah that's life I'm so lucky I don't have children and wife and that and I'm on the street with just a dog it's very lucky because I could have worries a family wife children you know I'm lucky in that way in in a way yeah I could say but uh he has Kickbacks yeah I'm sure so describe your depression if you don't mind from long-term depression anxiety and stress and I used to panic a lot I mean I'm taking medications right now I got all my medication I picked up for this month in my bag uh I want to say hello
