When you're 55 and know you did every move here and even more in 1985 and your arthritis kills you today, sucks. So sad when we get older. Enjoy skating as long as you can in life, folks. It's a short trip on earth.
I have early advanced osteoarthritis and it’s a lot to come to terms with, especially when you see other people doing things you still want to do. It started at 40, disability at your age and it’s spread throughout my spine and hands now at age 62. There’s nerve interference when it’s inflamed. It took a while but eventually I got so tired of my own self pity that I decided to focus on the things I can still do. That’s when I saw that community and love are actually what most makes (skating and) everything in life fun. We can still do that part, and that idea helped me to feel somewhat like myself again. I continue to bellyache about it because it’s hard, but I don’t feel like my life is over anymore and I hope you don’t either. You’re not even very old! Joy still exists for us and for so many who share physical challenges. Go get it ♥️
I feel ya! We didn't ask Arthur permission to enter our body It's sad when we were younger we never listened to our parents about getting old So when we got that Email things started falling off😂 it's not what we ask for
@@kathyhames2200 I still think we are a little better physically than our grandparents. I couldn't imagine them roller skating. I was shocked at Ms Mable who is 90 with a boyfriend in his 60's. She credited her longevity to a clean lifestyle. Never taking drugs, alcohol or consuming pork.
Hey l'm 81 years young and after watching you brothers and sisters l just added Rolling in Memphis to my Bucket List Y'all Straight Up Rolling Been rolling since l was 10 My love for has never diminished 1st thing do when l visit another city is to check to find the Rink😂😂🔥👍💯💪☮️👃🏿👃🏽👃💜💛😇🌄😅👍 Old School
I am an 80-year-old white woman and I spent my growing up years wearing my mother's shoe skates that had wooden wheels. Best years of my life. Wonderful seeing these youngsters and oldsters doing something wholesome and fun. Just gave up rollerblading. 😂
This is awesome! Wish they did this “rollindance” around here. So slick…..men are so cool and women are soooo sexy. A skating rink could have an 21 and over skates and 12 and under family skate. Practice nights. And how the skate teems dress alike 🎉
Oh god, I can watch them for hours! Memphis!!! So, many different skate styles, skate swagger, personal styles, all ages, and good skate music. But, best of all, everyone is having a really good time! Community! Excellent video editing & quality. ❤
I'm sitting here watching in awe. Weeping to see the joy, the skill, the swagger, the chill, and the utter COOLNESS of having so much fun doing something that requires so much focus & alignment with so many others-all kinds of self-expression. 😮😊😮😊😮 I thank you all. So generous of you to share this MAGNIFICENCE. TRULY TOUCHES MY HEART. Y'ALL ARE THE ABSOLUTE BOMB!!! To the people putting this video together: the skating camerawork is beyond excellent, the music, editing, and the LOUD & PROUDNESS... OH MY GAWDZ! I feel like I won the YT JACKPOT TODAY. THANKS SO VERY MUCH. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS TODAY. 😂❤😂
I am glad they are upholding the skating culture with a fresh twist..I remember good times in the late 70s as a kid every body loved to go to skate centers listen to music and have fun.sick of all the bull these days we need that old school stuff.
Yeah this was nostalgic. Saw some people from our generation in their still holding it down. Great to see. BTW the demographic changed a bit depending on which Airbase my mom was at the time (SD, NB, Germany) but this is what it was like everywhere- skating and hanging out. Glad to see it still exists in some places - thought it had went the went the way of the drive-in theatre.
I love it! Also, I need this mix for my workouts/practice time. Also, ALSO, this Memphis massage therapist is on deck to help elongate those skate years. 😊💜🤗
Love it! Why so many went to those big, klunky, inline skates I will never understand. Skating in the 70s when I was growing up was fun like this. This awesomeness taking place right up the road from me and I had no idea! Well done! Rock On #901
Man, I am born and raised in Memphis. I live in Las Vegas, and I just happen to see this video. This does my heart well to see my people enjoying themselves like this. Brings back memories. Proud of my city simply because of this video.
I'm English. I've been to a lot of the world and the US but not Tennessee. I've never seen anything like this. Not the foggiest why RUclips decided to suggest it to me but I now have the biggest smile!
I'm 65. Parks & Rec temporarily removed our neighborhood backboard so I went to another park & the hoops were right next to the skate park. Now I want to roll again. That led me here. Looks really fun. Thank you.
First time on this channel.I live seeing Black people do there thing on skates.There is no one like us.I love seeing skate culture.Even the sixty plus crowd is boogeying on skates.
Umm, psst, 🤭, Indian, American Indian, in the words of Belinda Carlyle," We Got the beat!" Drums just run all through my blood all the time, lmao. When I die, Bury me deep Put speakers at my feet Wrap some headphones round my head And watch me Boogie, when I'm dead!!
I'm 66 and spent most weekend evenings in the winter at the skating rink during grade school. Loved it. I have watched a lot of these videos of skaters and it's great! Looks like they're enjoying themselves.
it’s amazing how amazing the vibe always is at these roller rinks and parties. It was the same back in the 80s, 90s and it’s the same now. everyone’s just having a good time listening and vibing to good music, learning moves and all. There’s something about skating.
Thanks for sharing and showing that there are other things besides drinking and partying. Live the life and love the beat and the styles you all share. New England here
Beautiful! I want to have a partner like the wonderful couple at 3:01 ! Just the whole video is a joy to watch. Thank you for whoever put this together. Much love to Memphis!
I used to roll at the rinks shown. Back in the days of cowboy, Greg, Pops, Griffin and others. Crystal Palaces was the home base. Brings back memories.
I love that there are people who still do fun stuff like roller skating for entertainment. I really appreciate that.
Started my kids young on skates my 4 year old shocked me at the skating rink out there without nothing holding him up😂❤

What a vibe! Really love to see the older aunties and uncles doing their thing!
They are the best because there was no social media in their day.

I swear I love seeing Black folks roller skate and steppin' (couples dancin)...makes me feel sooooooo good lol
Memphis is where it's at!! They all were jamming, sequencing, gliding, and doing the unthinkable on their skates! Loved it, Go Memphis! ❤
So much more wholesome than gong to the club.
Proud of 901!
Memphis did not disappoint! Let's go Memphis!!🎉
Thank you for showing Memphis in the positive!
Me and my arthritis STILL rolling on these skates in my 50s!!!

Greetings from Germany…i thought Roller Skating was only in the 70´s and 80´s?? Love to see it😍
VERY GOOD exercise!!!!!! Very impressed with the skills
it’s amazing how amazing the vibe always is at these roller rinks and parties. It was the same back in the 80s, 90s and it’s the same now. everyone’s just having a good time listening and vibing to good music, learning moves and all. There’s something about skating.
I enjoy watching the young peeps coming together like this.

The whole point of skating is having fun. That was 50 yrs. ago for me. Love this!
Mad skills to be able to do all of these sick moves in a rink!!!
All I can think about is how much better ice skating competitions would be if they had this kind of flavor in them.
Enjoyed watching the performance of the skaters 😊
Thank you for sharing

Nothing but absolute love for this. Beautiful.
Love skating, remind me of the good ole' time! Looks fun😉
