I always thought roller skating was as fun as ice skating or rollerblading.

God do I miss roller skating! The problem, where I live, is that the majority of the people where I used to skate is ghetto trash and it is not safe and the music sucks- you cannot skate to slow hip hop- it has got to be skating jams dance music(disco, funk, r&b, house) old school style.
