I'm white and I love to see groups of people like this come together and just have fun, i just wish more white people would start skating instead of being the dumb unsocial people we are lol
Bianca Chase.....This is great fricken work. I'm a grown ass man and this thing touched me greatly. Like one of the posts said...It make me so proud to be BLACK!!!!
These people can skate. So far Detroit Rock the skates. This is the best video and Music mix, I've seen. It reminds me when I skated. I learned how to skate in 1975, at Empire Roller Rink, in B'klyn, NY. Since then I, lived in skates One time during the transit strike I, skated from the George Washington Bridge to Canal and Broadway ( 8 1/2 miles). I held a job at River Bank State Park, as a Roller Skate Monitor. I skated 7 hours a day, 6 days a week.Then ride my bike from 145 St. to 178 St. to and from work (3 miles round trip). Then I was most fit. Some of the Rinks I stated; Empire, Spin Easy, Roxy, Park Circle, The Garage, Dominican Republic, California, Virginia and elsewhere.
Five years ago I discovered this video and watched it EVERYDAY for a good month. It inspired me to get back on the 8's after a 15 year hiatus. Now I come back and watch it from time to time to learn some of the moves I admired.
This makes a person forget about most of their problems for awhile. I am so PROUD to see the young people having a nice time and doing physical activity that is very creative and will keep them in shape. Keep doing it y'all. Somebody should start roller skating as an international competitive sport (seriously). God bless.
Hats off to who shot the clip and really loved the music....The love of skating was very much alive on each of the ROLLER SKATERS....the BEST OF THE BEST CLIP EVER SHOT....I LOVED IT SO...MUCH...💝💝💝
So happy to get a peek into this event. The skate rental shop attendee looked lonely cause looked like most people had their own skates! Incredible feel and joy from the skaters.
Used to skate like this back at this place in the 1980's when it first opened up. We used to go to several different rinks. Certain rinks were for certain nights. 3-4 days a week we would skate
Here's a pure sample of the real Skate Community capturing them in their element letting it go on the floor with no regrets! I t's something that we all do as skaters, no matter where you roll. The Skate Community has founnd a way to pull our people together in a positive way, no matter if you're an Old School, Middle- Generation or New-Age Skater. I really enjoy the fact that you see our people having a good time in a peaceful and positive way! I think y'all got some that we need to spread across the Country! Do your thing my people in the Skate Community! Big AL
I love this video! It's the real skaters and it's the best fun ever! I am charging up my iphone and going to the park to puts some skating moves out there today.
The music CALMS everyone... even those just sitting and watching!!!! Absolutely Beautiful!! People can demonstrate their own STYLE!! On the Floor with SKATES!!!
Great video, very well done. That rink is also really beautiful, so colorful and huge and filled with people. Down here in Tampa there's nothing even close to that size.
Bethany Johns I know the Tampa rinks. I was a skate guard at united skates back in 07, 08. Back when I was there adult soul night was Sunday nights not sure if it's still happening then
Bethany Johns it's actually three different rinks! Every 2 years there's a huge party up here in the D and several rinks participate (soul skate)! So fun!!
It takes very large spaces, high quality wood floors and a great deal of investment for keeping the rental Skates in good condition. Most of all, a great sound system, good D.J. and security. Very few people want to make that investment.
Great video! this is old skool! I think everyone out there needs a piece of this, too much fighting going on these day's we need peace!! Keep it Classy yall! Grand Haven, MI Representing!
So inspired by this video, went and bought some skates, and love using them! Once I don't fall so much, love to get some headphones on and get dancing.
Native Detroiter loved this video as a child love Skateland wish I was part of the video I am a good skater. The music is on point and the skaters are talented this is what it is all about good times and partying. Detroit and Atlanta best skaters hands down ♡♡♡ cool video thank you again.
Maurice from Harford County Maryland I grew up skating I was a floor guide Starlight Arena Route 40 Edgewood Maryland my type of skates is black men men skates All American Dream Wheels with the flat bar that's the that's that's official pair of roller skates right there I love Sandy videos about roller skating on love to see how you folks out there in Detroit still rolling I love it thank you God bless
I F-N love being a rhythmic soul person. all of the world aspire to be like us. we ALWAYS take stuff to the next level. I have been skating since 8yrs old and i would practice at the white rinks and show off at the black rinks. when i came back to practice new stuff at the white rinks they would be amazed. this was a beautiful video. i LOVE the harmony at skating rinks. and whatever state i am in i always look for a black skating rink. Tears of joy. I love us , black brother and sisterhood. YESSSSSS, RIGHT ON! lol Chicago love
I am a 50 year old black woman and I want to skate with these young people.......happy that most people think I am in my late 30's but I don't look as young as they are......LOL
What a great feeling when watching to this... Everything's matching perfectly (editing, people, atmosphere, music...). You captured all the essential elements and added your own vision. Not easy... BTW, just saw your video on a news channel in France. Now, I'm watching it on RU-vid again and again... Ok, now I'm down telling I like it...... But I do love it ! ;)
Maybe, I'm not sure. I jumped into the TV room when I listened to the music first (the channel is CNews, a canal+ group). I couldn't look on the title of the program bc it passed when I came by. Be sure I'll check your website !
This should be made into a weekly competition series that airs on a network and the public gets to vote for their favorite skating team or skating couple! These are some super creative talented folks!! That melanin
merci Bianca, j'ai découvert votre superbe vidéo sur l'émission L'oeil du links de la télévision française. vos images sont magnifiques et la bande son incroyable. merci de l'île Maurice (Mauritius, East Africa)
Yeah my skating style is ummmm try to stay up on two feet...but I do admire the different skate styles of Jersey...Detroit...Chicago...all different but with sooo much swag
Spent many hours roller skating with my family, and now with my grand kids....Great video! Skating is very dear to my heart. Beautiful job on your videos, Bianca
