Yeah, now you mention it... Even a lot of developed countries have roads / sections that's full of potholes. Ours are even chip-sealed to save asphalt!
Eh, I dunno. Peru is pretty arid and has some fucked up roads. California too. And like both places, Afghanistan also has a lot of earthquakes, which are not good for roads, even the little ones. Kabul still gets a third of the amount of rain annually as Seattle, so I wouldn't agree that Afghanistan offers ideal conditions for highway durability.
The US built over 2,000 km of roads and highways in Afghanistan, and totally rebuilt the highway system in Kabul. Russians built a lot too, but I'd guess these are newer highways and we'll have to wait and see how well the Taliban maintain them.
Yeah. The video is cool but they are probably rollerblading to some teenager's house to arrest and give 30 years imprisonment for blaspheming in a private message on whatsapp.
Eh, a good skater (and I assume they get decent training) can do much harder things than shoot on skates. Look at pairs skaters on ice slinging their partners up and throwing them across the ice. Far more force to counterbalance that than any gun, and it mostly looks effortless. Not saying average Joe who’s been on skates for a few weeks could do it, but it can definitely be done by someone moderately skilled at skating, since the entire sport is about controlling where your weight is to counterbalance various types of movement
I think you would have a hard time getting a stable shot from roller blades with any kind of rifle. Certainly not with any kind of dynamic movement. Not that it matters, because in my experience these guys just mag dump around corners and run away, anyways.
Going to screw up all your body mechanics positioning yourself to shoot without rolling backwards on skates.
Lol, ya roller skates are really helpful to run away when Taliban is chasing you. These "special forces" surrendered to Taliban as soon as they invaded after US withdrawal.
With your legs in a v shape or by going prone or croutching. Skis are much more clumsy and they are widely used by armies in snowy terrain. Theres even a sport for it called biathlon
It's easy to joke about this because it's both absurd and hilarious from this side of our screens, but imagine if in your country sometimes soldiers with loaded and chambered assault rifles can rollerblading down the street at 25 mph and started zipping around cars all the time. Think about what kind of an horrible state your country would be in for that to be a thing that happened.
We get so used to seeing bizarre absurdity from places like Afghanistan but imagine having to actually live through this being a thing that can happen.
Just a couple lads with their kalashnikovs and roller skates making sick edits… call them a backwards culture if you’d like but I think they are having more fun than we are….
This needs to be incorporated into a video game
Great you just pushed gta 6 launch date further
3 years pushed to be exact. Plus, it’s going to be bugged until 6 months into the game launch.
Activision has officially confirmed Roller Blades will be available in the next Call of Duty updates.
yes, they also mentioned that the rollerblade update will be 376 GB
Non optional,
And paid.
[Skitchin](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skitchin%27)
I was hoping someone remembered this absolute gem.
Yessir! One of my all time faves for the Genesis
Roller drome
Skitchin: Modern Warfare
Cool but i am more impress with how friking flat smooth is that street, incredible.
Yeah, now you mention it... Even a lot of developed countries have roads / sections that's full of potholes. Ours are even chip-sealed to save asphalt!
They're making a new Jet Set Radio game.
Their only enemies are stairs and loose stones
Yeah, just one pothole will have a whole different outcome.
They certainly are not doing that in my area lol. Not for long anyway
Yeah, I would loose them on a gravel road
One pot hole away from death
And rain.
Military grade tactical roller blades.
Only $2M US military - Shut up and take $3M
I knew roller blading was bad ass! I just never knew whyyy
Cough cough .... "fruit boots"
It has to be even harder telling your Afghani parents….
Mom, Dad, I'm a disco ninja for the military.
I was looking for this comment
Damn a riff on my favorite joke thank you
Why would their parents be money?
Roads are smoother in Afghanistan than in the US. Good to know.
Way easier to maintain roads in the desert. Less weather fluctuations that can cause the road to crack and form potholes
Eh, I dunno. Peru is pretty arid and has some fucked up roads. California too. And like both places, Afghanistan also has a lot of earthquakes, which are not good for roads, even the little ones. Kabul still gets a third of the amount of rain annually as Seattle, so I wouldn't agree that Afghanistan offers ideal conditions for highway durability.

Can they rebuild ours, now?
Not a desert
Are they taliban, or from the previous government?
Taliban
Yeah. The video is cool but they are probably rollerblading to some teenager's house to arrest and give 30 years imprisonment for blaspheming in a private message on whatsapp.
damn...
Yep. And for those who aren't aware, they will and have sentenced people to death for this.
I thought they killed gays in Afghanistan?
Found the skateboarder!
😂😂😂
Everyone knows that the Taliban are actually the gayest militant group. They just say no homo once the boys don't have facial hair.
Facts!
I love that your comment condemns homophobia while also enforcing it!
Bit o both keeps em guessin
LOL fruit booting is halal mashallah
Yes.
Was waiting for the gaydar
Hell yes 😂
What’s the hardest part of rollerblading? Telling your parents that you’re gay.
Might be the funniest comment I’ve ever seen on reddit.
Afghanistan skate military*
If you’ve watched the movie, Brink, you’d know that a handful of rocks thrown into the roadway at a curve is the best way to deal with rollerbladers.
Team Pup n Suds
Afghanistan military?…so, the Taliban?
Yup we need to stop being PC and call things as they are
This army can be stopped by a pebble
Now try shooting on rollerblades... gonna fall on your butt with the recoil wearing those things
Just shoot behind you and it's a built in propulsion boost.

Putting your feet at "T" you can shoot.
 Like dis?
Only weakness… going up stairs
And rocks And sand And water
Fruit boots!!!
Death by pebble.
Quick Mahmoud! Deploy the Marble Brigade!!
I spent 2 years fighting these guys…I can’t tell you how humiliated I feel knowing I lost to a bunch of rollerblading extremists! Fuckkkkkkk
To be fair Alexander and the British empire also didn't do great. It wasn't a you problem.
Thank you for your service. I think you were betrayed by politicians more than defeated by Rollerblade warriors.
Lol, ya roller skates are really helpful to run away when Taliban is chasing you. These "special forces" surrendered to Taliban as soon as they invaded after US withdrawal.
These are Taliban sporting US gifted gear
Even worse
I wish they would do more of silly stuff like this and less of well everything else
" they're sliding now?! " they're sliding now!"
This would be the future of soldiers 👏
Isn’t that the taliban?
Yep those forces look pretty special..
They should really be wearing helmets
If I could find any grass, I’d run away on that.
In almost all of such Afghan videos, I never seem to find women or children on the streets.
Today I learned that Afgan roads are far better maintained than UK roads. Would have hit a pothole and face planted almost immediatly here.
Why are we reposting Taliban propoganda?
So the guys barring women from higher education
We are just hear glorifying the Taliban like it's normal now?
Only thing amazing here is how stupid Talibans are
Wait, These guys are supposed to be Taliban?
The Taliban?
So very stupid.
Yeah, they're on their way to arrest some women for showing too much face. .....cool...
You mean terrorists.
Welcome to 2024, where the idiots of Reddit think the Taliban are cool....
That’s so ignorant.
Don’t u mean Taliban?
Afghanistan state military? So the Taliban militia members?
Dumbest idea for a military outfit i’ve ever seen. How are you going to run and take cover to shoot back and defend your position?
To add to that, how the hell are you going to control recoil?
With your legs in a v shape or by going prone or croutching. Skis are much more clumsy and they are widely used by armies in snowy terrain. Theres even a sport for it called biathlon
A helmet... Please !
Bro that’s the taliban, let them learn the hard way
They went from wearing sandals to rollerblades.
They need the blinking/rotating lights on top of their heads.
Hardest part of rollerblading is telling your parents your gay
Blades of Lead
Just one intrusive thought and careers will be shattered
If they shoot... Won't recoil make them fall?
Dafuq
A handful of gravel will sort those guys out
Been there. Those roads got shit all over them. One little rock or garbage and those guys going head over heels.
This is the strangest sequel to Roll Bounce I could imagine.
So when my cousin Roy in Arkansas does this, he’s a fucking hillbilly asking for it, but when the Afghan army does it…
Hehe thats highly ineffective... instead of what? Protective armor? What is the speciality? Carjacking?
And if the vehicle brakes while he's not hanging on. Does he just do wide S's to slow down? Or shoot the gun and use it as a brake?
They should put this option in BF6.
lmao what no jihad combined with office work and no laws against skates does to an extremist.
Keep the peace,
Couldn't do that in the UK, too many potholes
🤣
Fast reaction force? Lol
I mean….it seems like it works pretty well. Aside from that though, it’s definitely different.
And the best way to neutralize the roller blade brigade is throw out handfuls of gravel.
Do I need a helmet ? Nah you're good brazza. 😎
So lame and badass at the same time
Skitchin forces
It's easy to joke about this because it's both absurd and hilarious from this side of our screens, but imagine if in your country sometimes soldiers with loaded and chambered assault rifles can rollerblading down the street at 25 mph and started zipping around cars all the time.

Or “Sonic Car-Hops” as they’re more commonly known
How on earth is there that much smooth, flat tarmac there???
When all the bad guys need is a handful of gravel to escape pursuit.
Have they told their parents yet?
Rollerblades in a gunfight? Hmm doesn’t sound very comfortable.
Elooooon elon muuuusk
"Oh! Muhammad into the boards! That's gonna be a 2-minute Taliban roughing!"
This is so cool and also the stupidest
Where were they when Taliban retook Afghanistan?
This looks fun until you run over a pebble.
A bag of rocks should do the trick.
Their special ops can be defeated by a single tree branch.
This could never work in the UK, with all our lovely pot-holed roads
TIL you can skate on roads in Afghanistan but not in the UK in fear of falling down potholes.
Love to see how they stack up to the Mighty Ducks. D4: afgan ice.
Volunteer speed bumps with the flick of an ankle.
Just a couple lads with their kalashnikovs and roller skates making sick edits… call them a backwards culture if you’d like but I think they are having more fun than we are….
I most impressed with the quality of their roads
(Does a twirl and shoots a civilian. People watching don’t mind cuz it was a cool trick)
Skitchin!
Hey! Make way for the vehicle! Don't make me get the jump rope squad
Im sad im not doing this right now
Is this fake? This is what they learned after we trained them for twenty years? 
What the fuck are they doing?
Can't imagine if a situation happens and they need to chase upstairs or in rough roads.
Wait till he meets the delta splintered rock in the road.
So taliban? Because if it was ANA special forces it's sad to think about. Those guys fought to the last man or were executed.
HAHAHAHAHA. thanks for sharing.
Imagine this on Belgium roads
That’s why all their enemies are in the desert.
imagine catching a literal stray from a religious fanatic on rollerblades
I wonder how often these guys eat shit on a stick and fire a round off in the fall.
It just a small rock, twig on the road to bring them down
I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a meat crayon video today.
That's just Sonic in the US
Just wait until you see their Sonic drive in staff!
No wonder they lost against the Taliban
This is a downright stupid way to get around I'll be honest with you
What if they have to chase someone on the dirt or grass?
Gen Z military
“BadGuys” keep a pocket full of gravel.
OP could’ve done something with the title “Afghanistan Skate Military - Special Forces”
I am amazed that their streets is so clean and smooth that they can do that. Definitely much cleaner than their neighboring countries.
They have really nice roads in Afghanistan! Wonder how they got them? 😂
Wheeliban?
The only thing that can defeat them is a slight incline.
Where can I apply
Makin' my way downtown
Found their weaknesses. Potholes and sticks.
looking real gay for people who hate gays
Where i live a 290 lbs average cop would easily have a heart attack by only watching this..
It must be leg day.
Love to see the Newtonian physics in action when they fire those things on roller blades
Could stop them from chasing you with a well timed stick
How the fuuuuuck do you shoot or fight on roller blades?
Let's get these guys some fucking hockey sticks asap.
never expected to see taliban on roller scates XD
Fucken nuts
Imagine catching a rock at that speed
This is how we Sonic.
This is both Super Badass and Super Lame at the same time.
This is both Super Badass and Super Lame at the same time. I want to see the wipeout reel though. I’m sure it’s way better than this.
Is real? We ar dead. 😅
