Anyone else roller skate as a kid?

[cranny]

I think those were some of the best times of my life as a kid up until i was about 14. I notice not many kids do this day in time. But in the late 70's and early 80's it was THE thing to do for me and my friends. To this day the best Christmas I've ever had was when I got a pair of speed skates. You couldn't tell me shit after that!

Those were the good ole days! I remember going to the lock-ins (all nighters)

 

[Cutiebaby]

roller skating and ice skating!
Yep.

roller skating and ice skating!
Yep.

I've only ice skated a few times but I was a very good speed skater. We had my oldest sons birthday party at the skating rink a few years back. I think the adults had more fun than the kids. hahahaha Was sore for days though. Great exercise!

Roller skate and ice-skate. I went as a kid and I would take my kids every chance I could.

Though I must admit I was HORRIFIED by what I saw at the local skating rink the last Friday night I was there. Was more like prostitute wannabees on ice.... The rink is in a VERY nice area.... sad, sad, sad.

Yea, the last couple of b-day parties we went to at a skating rink, I was thinking how much it was like doing cardio.

We use to go all the time! I barely remember it because I was so small, but I do remember I was real good and could even skate backwards. Teenage girls loved me and would take me by the hand (one on each side) and skate around the rink with me. I was so little I had to reach up for their hand.

True story btw

Man I have always been such a pimp.

Yes but I was a cute lil squirt. Don't know what happened to that.

I am a 70's child and I roller skated every Thursday, Friday, Sat night and Sunday afternoon at the Caesars Palace...haha!
I skated to Donna Summers and the Bee Gee's..haha!
I was thinking of bringing the roller skate back since blading is somewhat dead and kids are not that into blading.

AAP did a cute little squirt? Where?!

The skating rink around here was Leo's and I remember practically living there, and yes the lock-in's....those where the days!

Every Christmas they have the centroplex turned into a ice skating rink, went once and I don't know why but I loved it. I never got to far, stand up bust ass and do it all over agian. I was soaked and freezing by the time I left. It is nothing like roller skating.

Kids today are big into skateboards, or at least my son and his friends are and damn to the prices of them! Ugh!

Hell yeah every time I hear a song from the 90's it reminds of the skating rink.

That's where I macked on girls in 4th/5th grade (by mack I mean hold hands)

 

[jnevin]

Roller skating was a bit before my time. I skateboarded.

 

[gonelifting]

Yep, me and Bilestew used to hit up a local Skating Rink here. Good times. A lot of chicks there, arcades... nice.

I used to skateboard as well. i had the first big skateboard around when all of them were tiny little fiberglass ones. I had a nice wooden big board with all the extras. Conversation peice. lol No skateboard parks though. Ehh.

I hear ya. That's where I first held a girls hand as well as kissed a girl. Looking back I started out skating but by the last year or so, me and my buds were scouting for girls more than skating.

Hell ya. Skating around listenen to Vanilla Ice and M.C.Hammer. Didn't care much for the Hokey Pokey but did it to be part of the pin spin to win a free pass.

 

[c-sharp minor]

DJ'd at a roller rink for 4 years in the early 80's. Tried to slip some metal tunes past the manager whenever possible.
