I’m 61, and lost both my legs above the knee. But I was a floor guard and DJ at a roller rink for 5 years, and won many competitions. My goal is that by the time I’m 70, I’ll be back out there Jammin!!!
@@darksparkle6174 the name of a roller rink that used to be near me was called Good Times! We still have the other one I used to go to and I am going to check it out when I am back on my feet!
What I love about this video is it looks like there's a lot of people around my age still doing this. Makes me want to get back in my skates that much more
I hope you find a rink! Took my husband and daughter (her 1st time on skates) last weekend. It was the 1st time in 22 years for me! It was awesome! We're going again this weekend!
I didn't think I could do it but at 50 I decided to put them back on and get out there and it felt amazing. Thank you for another great video. Great filming and awesome job everyone 👏 Peace and love from New York ❤
We started skating when the skates were 25 cents to rent and you paid 50. Cents to get in the door, we went every Mon. Wed. AND Friday because it was ladies night for 25 cents and 10 cent skate rental. I'm now 79 and I still love it and go as much as time will allow. The only way I'll give up skating is when I can no longer walk!
I am so impressed by how under control everyone is with those skates...amazing!! I skated as a kid in middle school, but never knew indoor roller skate rinks even existed???
I was a dedicated pre-teen rink rat here in the '90s, when it was Starlight. Glad to see that it's still around and essentially unchanged. Funny, I remember them playing this song (and other Miami freestyle) all the time.
Started skating in the 70's as a kid thru the 80's, 90's and into the 2000! Age and the pandemic abruptly stopped the fun but I'm not totally giving up! I'll show up with big neon pompoms! I never had any and my dream will come e true!😊
This brings back so many memories from 90-99 I'm 42 years old and use to go to skateland northpoint in maryland every Friday and Saturday night. Met tons of friends wish it was still those days. This was the best music to skate too. I take my kids once in a while but wish I still had my riedell 395 with proline plates and wicked lip wheels
This is so much FUNFUN!!! I really wish I could do this again. But I'm disabled from a cancer battle. Thank you for sharing this. Brings back so many amazing memories. 😘
I really miss skating. My husband was an excellent skater. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do some of the above skate with their wheels completely loose like Duane and he didn’t lace dlayes ! we quit scamming in our 50s after our grandkids got to be teenagers. They didn’t want to go anymore. I wish we had continued, but my husband didn’t want to go anymore anyway I watch skating on my iPhone. I love the shuffle and the type of skating we did and adding in waltz ..😊
Glad to see the shuffle, free style skating still rolling on!! My generation started this trend back in the late 70's!!! We don't like to be lumped in with DISCO skating & too many ppl. like to label this type of skating as Disco!- ugh!! Nope, as you can see, we were the trend setters & so glad to see the tradition still going strong!!
@@azrielechols5184 that's racists!! Stay woke & stay a racists by believing your evil government & indoctrination camps you call schools & college's!! Second of all, were you there back in that generation? Because I was & I have actually HISTORY of where when the SHUFFLE movement was taking shape!! Stay in your lane Miss " WOKE " BLACK LIVES MATTER IDIOT!!
Nice group of smooth rollers...love the soft rhythm I'm seeing. Thanks for posting this video...much appreciated! I'm in a different life chapter and can't do this any more...so much fun to watch.
Love this ❤️❤️🎶🎶And I have speed skates.. bringing memories for the 80’s 90’s .. this hits I skated back then with my boys.. we did all these routines!
I love these videos so much.❤. When I was younger, "80's" my thing was street skating. From New Orleans to New York city. Loved every second. whenever I went to a skating rink I got kicked out for going too fast, lol keep the videos coming. 😅
I live in Alabama right now in Dothan, there’s not that many skating rings around here just one it’s OK but not great, I’m moving to Houston Texas because I hear they don’t play around when it comes to scan and I can’t wait to see
Watching this makes me want to cry because I can't be there jamming out because I'm on parole for 2 more years but as soon as I get out I'll be 60 years old and taking my beautiful Asian daughter to teach her
this is so very awesome. When I was still living back in Boston in southie I use to rollerblade everywhere. Back in the 90's. I been seeing on instragram and here the skating videos. Makes me really want to get back in there somewhere and do what you all are doing and film people. This is what we need more in the world
you should I'm 56 and I would love to get back into it, great exercise. I used to do it back in the 80S when I was a youngster at midway skating center Miami
You should all do it...Im 55 and just started back on quads a month ago inspired but the rising trend here. At my age there is no muscle memory but it comes back w/ practice. I live in SoCal so skating at the beach is epic. I plan to join a beach rollout next month. I also have two rinks near me. An indoor rink for "coffee" skate or nights for jams. There is a wonderful, unknown outdoor rink great for me to practice moves. I'm so happy I got back into it and brought others along w/me😀
I grew up at the roller rink. Every Friday and Saturday night mom would take us and we'd meet up with our cousins and friends. I met some nice chicks too 😅. Good Ole days.
Got to admit....I came here thinking the vibe would be different from the other skate channel I watch....but nope...lol. Great video and my man in the black shirt and jeans is lit...lol
at 0;17 notice blue Jeen and black shirt he master the beat on skates the up and down movement is a must to balance you dance the whole skating becomes a art
@@rollerkingonce i learn to skate and dance some skate stiff but he has a style hard to find i bet he is a great performer in Miami i learn move that i never seen in videos like the rope my friends where the ones who will do the dance and win the price it was something to see each week new move and new performance Miami Midway Skating Center the Cradle of shuffle ..305.
Many many thanks for a joyful moment !!! I'm not fan of speed but I wonder what's the average speed of the people you filmed ??? Thanks for answering :)
I think they call it the shuffle.. We called it the bounce back in the 70's ...because... well, they did! That's the main reason I learned to skate backwards;).
I wish my bf now would go skating with me and do these fancy foot work routines.. but her would fall on his ass! I have my own speed skates and been skating for ever! Get it!! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg please more videos of the ormond astro skate I know right now there redoing the whole parking lot and putting in new speakers on the floor check it out
I started skating at 2. My much older brother had to take me if he wanted to go on a date with wife to be. By the end of the night I was keeping up with everyone. I just mimicked what everyone was doing. Including skating backwards. I was hooked. The owner of the rink gave me figure roller skating lessons for free. All my parents had to do was buy the skates. I already could ice skate but I didn't n don't like being cold. I am 57 and skated for 30yrs 4 to 6 times a week. I was in a terrible car accident a 16 yr old kid high and drunk put me in a wheelchair for 2yrs. Since then rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, type 2 insulin dependent diabetes. A heart attack, a small stroke. 7yrs ago my great nephew had his BIRTHDAY party at the rink. He dared me to put skates on, my niece still has the last pair of very expensive awesome skates I bought. I went around the rink with my rolator Walker with a seat 10xs. It was so fun.I even skated backwards. Everyone thought I was crazy. But I got to choose when the last time I got to do something I loved doing so very much, not the 16yr old who almost ended me. The next next 2 days I pretty much had to stay in bed. But the pain was worth it. I always loved the feeling of moving fast so effortlessly.
