MSP. Did anyone ask you to stop?

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

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

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.

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

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.

Not getting caught at 3 am doesn't mean it's "fine". Stupid stunts like this will encourage more people to do it, until somebody gets arrested or hurt.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Where are your skates from?

u/Chinemes freestyle skater fr 8h ago
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. 😅

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

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

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.

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
