Roller Skating

If you have been following the new show "America Best Dance Crew" then you can't help but be taken by Break Skate, the roller skating dance team. If you were like me and grew up in the 80s you have probably been exposed to roller skating in your life time.

My family members are avid roller skaters. In fact, all the adults go roller skating every Sunday night religiously. I go with my friends, with our leather skates with the wheels matching the shoe strings and the little puff ball on the front... don't hate.

Anyway, then back to how much fun it was to roller skate. Certain things to you remember, but nothing can compare to the feeling of rolling around a corner so fast that you feel like you are flying or racing after your friends after they almost made you fall... on purpose.

We don't do that anymore. Thanks Break Skate for single handedly bring back the roller skating (not blading) and saving all the roller skating rinks from the brink of bankruptcy. Seriously, the old skool crew would never let roller skating die. I was at the roller skating rink two weeks ago and the was an 65 year old couple skating together, a 46 year old retired figure skater in a blue wind breaker (yes she brought it back) and 78 (not kidding) gentleman with one roller blade and one roller skate on (yes he is still that skilled). Meanwhile, the rink was filled with every body from 18 year olds to 45 year olds and everything in between. We have fun.
