Man does this ever bring back some memories. I could never skate backwards, not even for all the money in the world, but I could skate fast. I miss those days but I’m happy to see people out enjoying themselves !! And did you notice that there wasn’t a single cell phone in anyone’s hands. People being people !! 👏🏻👏🏻

I was a competition speed skater in Australia in the 80s. The rinks on fri n sat nites was a party. Then the invention of rollerblades took it outdoors, then no one went to rinks anymore and 90% of them closed down forever ...it looks like quad skates and rinks are starting to come back into fashion again. If enough new skaters take up this fun way to party, and socialize, n get your cardio fix on instead of pumping away in a boring gym, then more rinks will open due to the demand, and we will have the 70s n 80s back all over again ...such fun memories, for life.

How is skating on quad skates like those? I have played ice hockey for 35 years and have used rollerblades extensively, but never tried those quad wheels.

@@sebastienlemay6120 in the 70s n 80s we only had quads. I did basic figure skating on quads (now called artistic) as a kid to learn my turns and improve balance and quick transitions. Then went onto speed skating. And later even did Roller Hockey for a short while. Ive also done some inline (outdoors), and always hire hockey skates if i go to ice rinks. Basically you just get used to whatever you use and learn to milk it to get it to do what you need to do I found quad hockey was fine but I've heard inline is faster. As a speed skater (w the agility of early figure lessons), i took to Quad Hockey quite easily.

@sebastienlemay6120 I grew up speed skating and shuffling so quads feel like home to me. I also skate on speed inlines but feel like I can’t dance anywhere near as much on them compared to quads - simple mechanics. So for me, quads in the rink and inlines for outdoor skate marathons.

So happy to see the resurgence of roller skating in the US!

Brings back memories of when I was 13 and spent every Saturday night at our local roller rink. 😊 The blisters that became the protection for my feet. 😅 How cool that this is making another comeback.

Everyone has their own style and flair - so cool!

It makes me happy to see people having a good time 😊

Roll Bounce was such an underrated movie. I can't skate but I appreciate the art of it.

OMG ! I LOVED ROLLER SKATING!! LOVED IT . EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY, SATURDAY, WEDNESDAY ROLLER DERBY, EVERY ALL NIGHT SKATE ,AND OF COURSE THEY WOULD HAVE SPECIAL ALL NIGHT EVENTS. I MISS ROLLER SKATING SO MUCH,I AGREE WITH AMERICA DOES NEED MORE RINKS !!! ❤

This brings back so many memories. All the different people and all different ages all have fun together!

That looks like so much fun ! I have not skated in over 40 years.

All ages out there. I love it! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I know it sounds silly. Skated (and skied) all my life, of course full time weekends jr. High and High School, then worked in a rink when in college. Went as an adult to stay in shape for skiing and just having fun. Then back injuries kicked in at 42 and haven't been able to skate or ski since. We used to do the exact moves back then. This video had me in tears. Keep it up folks.

Sorry about your back! One of the worst things about skating is knowing that some day you won’t be able to - for what ever reason. Just gotta do it until ya can’t. The classic shuffle stride never gets old when your rolling to the beat.

I never managed to learn to skate well - why does this make me so happy? 🤩🎉

Best days of my life was spent at the skate cemter everytime the doors opened but i loved Friday nights the most

its good to see people roller skating still. It was such a fun time in my young life we used to every week at least once. now im 50 and in such poor health i'd break the floor my hip probably a leg or two from one fall! lol i do need to hear some queen another one bites the dust honestly when i'd hear that on the radio my mind starts my body moving side to side like im skating again!

So many memories of there's always someone you wished you could skate like. I was a straight forward, avoid everyone, all obstacles skater.

My Mom used to just dance on skates she grew up in the 40s was at the rink every weekend. The first time she took me skating I couldn't believe how good she was. All the rinks are gone now. We need these again for kids to have something to do. Great exercise and fun.

Every Friday and Saturday night baby! The rink was the place to be!

Good clean fun back in the 70’s I dated a girl who was really into skating every person on the floor helped me learn just a great group of people

Nice! A wood floor! The best!

Would you look at that, people happy and enjoying life! So glad i grew up in the 80's and so glad to see some of still exists.

This brought back soooo many great memories! Spent every weekend and Tuesday nights in the late 70's at the Oak Lawn rink in Illinois. We did the shuffle, foxtrot, skated backwards, you name it! Haven't been on wheels in about 5 years at least but I keep saying I'm gonna take the grands. I'd love to get back into it but the older I get, the more I worry about injuries! Don't heal as quick as I used to....Thanks for posting this!

I don’t know why this popped up…but there was a flood of memories in my head and a smile on my face for 3 minutes straight!

The skate rink was my 2nd home before I got my drivers license. I was there Tues nights, Fri nights, Sat pretty much all day and night, same for Sundays. Then of course, the over-night skates (those were the best). I grew up in an abusive household and the rink was a place I could always go to and know I was safe. Plus music was a big factor in my life at the time, as well. It was my escape. I was the only girl who could keep up with the speed skating boys, it was just pure freedom! The rink is definitely where I ended up getting my need, my need for speed. Once I got my license and bought my 1st sports car, that became my new escape. Crank the music and just drive... I'm 51 now, still have a sports car (convertible) and some of my best times are hitting the open road, too down and rocking out. I still wish I could skate, since it's making a comeback...but I've had 3 surgeries on my left foot and am left with major painful complications. I can barely wear a shoe, there's no way I could put a skate on and put pressure on that foot needed to skate. These videos make me happy and also cry, for the great times I had and the times I'll never have again...I can just enjoy vicariously through these people. So, thank you!

I use to live at the rink as a kid ! Speed skating was the shit back in the day! Love how it still brings people together!

SkateWorld11 on Oakridge Road Orlando built in the late 1970s, approximately 1978, it became my place to enjoy skating on weekends, after homework Fridays. Our residence was just behind the skating rink, one minute, I was there renting my skates until I saved up from my Disney pay at 3.670an hour, to buy my own skates, rather than renting. I was in my early to late teens. Then, suddenly the rink closed down. The memorable building is still there. I look at in memory of great times as I passed through. Other kids in the new generations would have also enjoyed SkateWorld11. The DJ, I just found out, attended my high school down the road, Aldo Moreno. He played all the way live fantastic varieties of music. It has been made into a religious organization.

Omg this makes my heart happy... now just need some 70's and 80's music

Looks like everyone is having fun, have skated in years

Totally fun!!

Love it !!!

I miss this!!! ❤
