@Hunchoz x Not everyone is a pussy. Wear a blind fold and plug your ears if you don't want to see/hear different races. Also can you not say 2 guys and say 2 entities instead? Its weird that you have to mention gender..
This was truly our life growing up! It kept us out of trouble all through our teens. My daddy had taken us skating since I was 4 years old. It was wonderful back in the day!
@@marleyjanim5033 that's really debatable, you can't just have a cam on your back and keep it in frame like that. Maybe uv seen that, doesn't meant that's what they're doing here. I'm guessing this is a competent skater going backwards.
@@marleyjanim5033 don't think u understood what i said, that vid has nothing to do with this vid.... and it's not that hard man, i can do it myself as well as many others. ur being defensive instead of rational.
It's the cost of the floor. I looked into buying an abandoned rink, and the floor needed replacing. This rink was about 3/4 the size of the one in this video. It was going to cost 1.7 Million to replace the floor!! Deal breaker!!!!
@@goneflying140 why so expensive? Is the wood material? I have seen some skate rinks made of concrete the slippery ones in the garage but that's more for speed skate
My mom skated in the late 70’s, the place was always packed with everyone having a great time. She made a lot of friends skating, all colors and nationalities, no one cared about any of that - just the skating and having a blast with each other.
Ok I'm a 57-year-old white guy from Portland Oregon. Yet I remember the golden age of Roller Skate on the west coast. When I was in my early teens I loved to go to the local skate rink, not outside of town but downtown where the real skating went down. I like the music and I liked this skating. See this takes me back and all I can do is smile. I wish there was a someplace like this out here. I'm glad I found this channel.
Well, I'm a 65 yo black lady who remembers the same thing. My daddy was a great skater and took us on the weekends when I was 4 years old. It kept us all out of trouble. We skated to everything from organ music to R & B. My husband says I skate better than I can walk.😁 This channel really takes us back!
I'm almost 60 and used to roller skate every weekend as a teen. Loved it, was good at it. Watching this is like a tug at my youth, but also I know I can still do some of this! I see some people my age representing here and it makes me want to do this now!
I'm 36 and I am from the Western New York state area like Niagara falls NY Buffalo NY and around there, we had a sking rink called Rainbow roller rink and every weekend we'd go there Fri and Saturday nights it was Soo much fun from like 5th grade to 10th. After 10th hanging round the kids wasn't as fun but it was great for us. It kept us off the streets and we were able to hang out with her friends in a safe environment it was really nice.. Id love to take my kids to do it but in fortunately my 6 and 4yr olds have special needs. My son has autism spectrum disorder and my daughter has a cognitive functioning and OCD co-occuring disorder so they wouldn't do too well with other people around. My daughter actually goes to a private Christian School where there's only 14 kids in the entire School, it is not for kids with special needs but it really helps her being in that small environment. So I'm not sure she would be able to do this. But I remember the memories I had it was so nice. Maybe when she gets older I'll try to take her. I have an 18 year old son and when he was little I used to take him. We would have so much fun. He actually played hockey all the way through high school and loved it. And the roller rink was a good way to practice getting his ankles strong. I hope you can find a way to get back to doing it seems like you really loved it and I'm sure you would be great still!
Being aware of your surroundings and knowing if something or someone is there. That's why I miss rinks. Used to have so many birthdays or Wednesday an Saturday there. Now I can only think of maybe one still open in Arizona. That's when you would watch out for other people and they watched out for you, too many phones taking up too many peoples time. Kids today don't know skates or any activity that doesn't involve the phone.
This is how we all should be living, having fun Black people an White people enjoying each other!!!!! Look at these people just having the time of their lives!!!!
I absolutely love the positivity I feel from watching these skate clips. Awesome fun! Whoever does the camera work on these deserves a cinematography Oscar! That person good!
Ikr! I was just thinking why do they let them sit right there.... sorry to say but get you a good ole hater sitting right there and somebody cud be visiting the ER🤦🏼♀️
That first pair, what a beautiful sight at a time like this. Watching you guys and ladies skating is so relaxing. The skating, outfits, music, everything is just right. Very impressive work by the camera man. Thank you for sharing.
🎉 I'm 60 years of age, wear my hair gray, my fiance 59 years of age took me skating Friday night, he skated backwards for about 30 or more minutes to help me get comfortable again on the floor. I was AMAZED at how he held my hands, and knew every move to make when he felt me about to fall to keep me from hitting that floor, I don't know how he accomplished what he did so smoothly and effortlessly to keep me from hitting the floor, but he did it. Kudos to him. ❤️
I have mad respect for folks that skate with loose skates. Most people would say it's unsafe, but these skaters have SERIOUS ankle and leg strength to stay sturdy in their movements. It's frickin awesome! And Push is the best!! Big fan of his
You got that right, I used to be a pretty darn good skater in my teen years and if I didnt have my skates laced up solid? I'd be all over the place. Not to mention, they're on a wooden floor, which is slick af. I used to skate on the slate floors, which gave you good traction to go fast and jump around. They've got serious strength and skill.
Absolutely, when you lean the skates follow, it allow you to work with the edges. I am just a old-timer. Always been passionate about roller skating. "EMPIRE ROLLERDOME" BROOKLYN.
Oh soooooo sorry for you my friend🥺 We used to go to the rink when I was a kid and not just to skate either. If a true jam came on, everyone ran to take off their skates and go DANCE on the other dance floor in their socks lol 😆 😂 🤣 A real party!! It's not too late to try...🤷🏾♀️
REAL pivotal. now I am ice skating because of THIS video. SOUL on ICE. thanks for the inspiration. yeah, I live up north where it is too cold to skate outdoors in winter so I bought a pair of ice skates and HEAT up the rink with my moves on ice. It all started with this video. Don't miss out anymore my sista. Betta get some NOW and now wait 63 years like I did in some other extreme useless sport like kickboxing.
The skaters are off the chain, but you have to be insanely good to navigate all that while filming and skating at the same time. Thumbs up for the camera man.
I just love watching you all skate and it makes me miss my roller skating days -- 40 years ago when this craze started. I live in the suburbs, north of NYC and my friends took me down the city to a skate shop where I met this guy named Hiawatha! He helped me create my own custom skates piece by piece...the Riddell black leather boot, a something or other plate (can't recall the name right now) and wheel bearings, and American Dream wheels! I loved those skates and still have them. I used to skate 3-4 sessions a week and truly miss it. I do not believe there are any roller skating rinks around here anymore and I have such good memories of when I used to go! I miss it and want to go!! It's amazing that so many of the skating moves and ways have not changed at all!!! Sure wish I could skate with you guys and you could teach me all the new moves! Keep up the great videos and good!!
@@annmargaritha4723 heck naw. I got overwhelmed with all of the online options to purchase & haven't found a local place to try some on, so i temporarily gave up looking. 🤣🛼🤦🏾♀️
@@jovialjae Awhhh.. its really worth it😍😍😊. I live in The Netherlands so many option indeed. All I know is it really doesn't matter wich ones u buy. As long the wheels are little stiff. So not the very smooth/ polished ones that can roll to easy. One with a little more firm to stand one. I do practice everytime I can. And came across this clip. I say buy them tudayyyy hunn... 🛼🎶🎉.... #keepmeposted
The guy in the blue t shirt was bouncing and stepping and skipping with that all time soul....love it !!!...this film capture so many styles of skating and see the community shift in movement shaking to the beat 💚💽📀🎵✳️🎶🚶💃🕺❤
Dayuuum! This make me wanna go skating so badly. But i'm skating with the lil kids, cause i'm 57 aint got no time fo broken hips, jacked up ankles, or a knee popped out of place. Keep filming please!
I'm 53 and if you use to skate back in the day you haven't forgot you just got to go it will come back to you. Trust me cause I go every now and then and I still got it. Lol
I use to skate like this back in the day, I'm now 63 an after watching this, I want to ask my foot surgeon if I can skate again, with tons of padding 🤣🤣🤣
My son is having a glow in t3ge dark skating party March 14th. You guys inspired us to do this. Even though we don't get down like you guys. We going to have some skating fun. The only thing that we are missing is all of you guys. The get down skaters. Wish that all of you guys csn come. Keep filming. I love to see you black beautiful people enjoying yourself, eachother & skating ✌🏽
Ummmj, wow. This looks nothing like the old "roller rinks" of the early 70's! It's exciting to see skating becoming popular again. This contemporary style of skate looks like a lot of fun.
Love it glad to see these youngins making skating popular again it's one of most effective way to work out and have fun at the same time .great full body workout.
It didn't matter where or what rink you went to, my peeps and myself visited rinks all over back in the day if you could rock you could rock ,as long as it wasn't organ music lol.
We used to have a good time at the skating rinks when I was growing up. Sparkles in Atlanta was the bizzness! No fighting, no violence, just skating, music, and FUN!
Bro I just fucken love this like you have no idea how much joy and happiness and excitement over brings me just skating at seeing people State and doing tricks and dancing it just it brings that feeling I can't explain I just love it it's an old-school feeling I grew up on to those were the good old days
This is just crazy good. Some of these choreographed dancers are off the charts. This makes me want to get my skates on and go right now. This just kick started my energy level to 11. I love roller skating. I went for my first time after a 30 year long hiatus. Once I warmed up I got back in the groove quite fast. No phones, no computers, just pure fun. And the music is just amazing. Going to do this again this week.
I love skating. I had fun watching everybody live happy, carefree and positive lives. When you see grown and young together its a beautiful thing to see and feel. Different generations in on room having a BALL......Oh my gosh these are those times we need to get back to and hold on too because these kind of activities allow us to live long lovely lives......with each not against each other. Tgank you for the video💖
Yo dude in the blue shirt with black skates killed it. He got skills. That’s what it’s all about. Strangers coming together as a family and skate. Much love.
He probably has black in him. Or he would have to be hanging around blacks His whole goddamn life. I was trying to critic One flinch of his wrist is the only thing I thought it was off🤷🏽♂️
Sooo Cool! Smooth movers on skate! Each groups are awesome! I keep returning to that video when I need some energy for my day. Thank you for producing it!
I just bought my first pair of skates in like 30 years and i wish we had a rink nearby. The streets are so torn up here I'm having a hard time learning.. This was so soothing to watch, like visual ASMR!
Yeah baby!!! This brings back memories of Roller skating 😊. That's what we were up to back in the day instead of hanging out in the streets. Guys you made this fun again😀
Hey Shay, I also grew up w/ our fam going 2 times a mo. to a local rink.. It was a great time , met a bunch of girls( hey that was a part of it) and got decent..Yeah i watch these vids and go b a c k..
Seeing this made my night !!! I have taught skate lessons for years, just the basics. Of course we are all on lock down right now. Ya'll be safe... Thank You
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS 💯 Love the vibe...all people together just feeling the music... having fun... everyone's got their own sense of style... Sometimes I swear I forget how to walk and you all danc'n on skates! C'mon now 👏 Wish I had this place near me.
Man "Backbone" made me blow up a few sets of Solo Barics!Been skaing dam there 35 yrs next time ATL has a session i'm going to skate and watch the lady with the golden hair, dam! Salute ya'll rollers🙏
@@hearmichaelsavage lol I did, I gave men a chance for most of my life and I hated every second of it and tried to off myself because of it several times. I’m 100% into women and at peace now
I wish this was everywhere! I love learning and loving other cultures and styles and appreciating all the spices of life. In school traveling to other areas and seeing differences in dance, marching bands and cheerleading was one of my finest memories. Cheering for each other not bitching about each other ... We need to fix things ❤❤
ATL Squad is my favorite. But everyone was fun to watch. So talented I couldn’t do that, it takes roller skating to a new level love it. Need more videos ❤️
I like that everybody has their own little group with their own dance. So much community.
They're people from different places too I see the difference in styles a skating
That's the way it was back in the day... tight crews rollin' all alike. Coordinated looks AND moves.
Dj name
Dj name like the beat
Yeah. 😆👍💯
The opening sequence with the white and black dudes is so chill.
That white guy has a you tube the real push you should watch his vid giving it to you raw 👍
@Hunchoz x its weird that you're that you're weirded out by describing someone
I know that black guy looked like Jamie Foxx a little. I loved their style of skating.
Absolutely agree - they were vibing together. That's what it's all about!

They still do in the south
Im in texas its only a few not plentiful like back in the days..and they are steady closing down

Forget about the dancing, give around of applause to the camera person. He/she really be moving smooth.
I was saying the same thing....they're the real MVP
There would be no reason for the camera person without the skating. So no, let's not forget about the dancing. Lol
@Cj Baxter it is not that serious
I didn’t even think about that person! Kudos to them!
They be? English is not that difficult.
I'm a roller in Ohio, and I must say; they were skilled on the wheels, but the white dude and the brother in the beginning were the best!

Yes! This is truly beautiful and inspiring to watch. May have to take some vacation time to see this skating in person. ATL!! Hoo!!!👏🏼👏🏼😘😎😎
Ummmj, wow. This looks nothing like the old "roller rinks" of the early 70's! It's exciting to see skating becoming popular again. This contemporary style of skate looks like a lot of fun.
Love it glad to see these youngins making skating popular again it's one of most effective way to work out and have fun at the same time .great full body workout.
It didn't matter where or what rink you went to, my peeps and myself visited rinks all over back in the day if you could rock you could rock ,as long as it wasn't organ music lol.
Lol my auntie and nem was doing this in '91-'92 at Sparkles in Riverdale, Ga. Its the only way Ive ever seen it done and I'm 34.
When was it UNpopular?
some of us have been skating all along and never stopped
Hell, I'm still boogy bouncing straight through life! Love this,
Keep it rolling!!
This is how we roll! The two Guys at the beginning were so amazing smooth vibing!
Had no IDEA this was still happening..Sweet as HELL. Nice to see
It's like that every week.
It never stopped lol
I need to break out my skates again. Thank you for the inspiration.
It’s almost 2022, and these skate videos are giving me such life and happiness. Time to get rolling again😃
Can we have a moment of appreciation for the camera man
We used to have a good time at the skating rinks when I was growing up. Sparkles in Atlanta was the bizzness! No fighting, no violence, just skating, music, and FUN!
Bro I just fucken love this like you have no idea how much joy and happiness and excitement over brings me just skating at seeing people State and doing tricks and dancing it just it brings that feeling I can't explain I just love it it's an old-school feeling I grew up on to those were the good old days
To see so many adults skating makes me sooo happy!!!
This is just crazy good. Some of these choreographed dancers are off the charts. This makes me want to get my skates on and go right now. This just kick started my energy level to 11. I love roller skating. I went for my first time after a 30 year long hiatus. Once I warmed up I got back in the groove quite fast. No phones, no computers, just pure fun. And the music is just amazing. Going to do this again this week.
I Love Skating and I Love watching my people enjoying it...I Love my people!! So much soooooooul😌
Love watching. miss these fun activities. The Groups were really having a good time jiving to the music.
Black people know how to live and find happiness in the groove. Love love love this! (Adding….their outfits are soooo fly!)
I may never need to hear that tune again as long as I live, but the skating was cool.
So dang smooth! Like silk! Love it when they're barely rolling too. The team concept makes it even better. Mesmerizing 💖
I love skating. I had fun watching everybody live happy, carefree and positive lives. When you see grown and young together its a beautiful thing to see and feel. Different generations in on room having a BALL......Oh my gosh these are those times we need to get back to and hold on too because these kind of activities allow us to live long lovely lives......with each not against each other. Tgank you for the video💖
Yo dude in the blue shirt with black skates killed it. He got skills. That’s what it’s all about. Strangers coming together as a family and skate. Much love.
Go ATL!!!!
This white boy is dripping so much damn swag! I luv the way he moves.
The big boys riding too though.
His from wife swap
He probably has black in him.
Or
he would have to be hanging around blacks
His whole goddamn life.
I was trying to critic
One flinch of his wrist is the only thing I thought it was off🤷🏽♂️
I like watching the ATL Squad skate, but Push is my favorite! Makes me want to get on the rink again! It’s been several years!
Sooo Cool! Smooth movers on skate! Each groups are awesome! I keep returning to that video when I need some energy for my day. Thank you for producing it!
I just bought my first pair of skates in like 30 years and i wish we had a rink nearby. The streets are so torn up here I'm having a hard time learning.. This was so soothing to watch, like visual ASMR!
The best skating vid. Specially the song. It's simple and very cohesive. It's like people are singing at the same time.
the anxiety i get from watching the skaters weave in and out is so heavy, but they make it look so damn easy.
The A is my hometown and we still got it. Hav'nt lost an beat yet...
Skating was MY LIFE... we did all this... I'm so happy to still see ppl getting it...
LOL it's Soul Train on wheels
Shoooot!!! I need to get these old knees back together! 😜
U can do it baby, I'm almost 50, got back to working out, feel young again.
Same. That was my literal thought watching this.
DAAAMN! This is old school! This is how we did it back in the seventies in NY! ❤❤❤ I wish they had a place like this in Houston 😢
I was an 80s rink kid and I love seeing young people enjoying it too. You’re really amazing at what you do!!
More power to ALL of you!! I see y'all in the future doing your thang! And I thank all of you for sharing your gift with the world💜
I'm just super impressed that so many people know how to skate! And they are all awesome at it!
The first dudes are named “Ebony and Ivory”. Loved them!
Kids just think mom and dad are going to the grocery store. Nope they are hitting the roller rinks. Love it!
Yeah baby!!! This brings back memories of Roller skating 😊. That's what we were up to back in the day instead of hanging out in the streets. Guys you made this fun again😀
Hey Shay, I also grew up w/ our fam going 2 times a mo. to a local rink.. It was a great time , met a bunch of girls( hey that was a part of it) and got decent..Yeah i watch these vids and go b a c k..

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS 💯
Love the vibe...all people together just feeling the music... having fun... everyone's got their own sense of style... Sometimes I swear I forget how to walk and you all danc'n on skates! C'mon now 👏 Wish I had this place near me.
Man "Backbone" made me blow up a few sets of Solo Barics!Been skaing dam there 35 yrs next time ATL has a session i'm going to skate and watch the lady with the golden hair, dam! Salute ya'll rollers🙏
🦾
The two men in the beginning stole my heart and I’m a lesbian so that’s saying a lot
Lolol hilarious 🤣
Haha me too!
They were smooth af!
I was looking for this comment
Your heart is tellin you to quit mimicking lies to yourself and give man a chance, okey?
@@hearmichaelsavage lol I did, I gave men a chance for most of my life and I hated every second of it and tried to off myself because of it several times. I’m 100% into women and at peace now
Love seeing such a packed rink! Skating will never die!
This is truly beautiful and inspiring to watch. May have to take some vacation time to see this skating in person. ATL!! Tourism!! Hoo!!!👏🏼👏🏼😘😎
This is fuçking sweet, I miss this so much,🇱🇷🇱🇷❤️
I wish this was everywhere! I love learning and loving other cultures and styles and appreciating all the spices of life. In school traveling to other areas and seeing differences in dance, marching bands and cheerleading was one of my finest memories. Cheering for each other not bitching about each other ... We need to fix things ❤❤
We need to stop giving a damn what other people think about us and our culture and just do us!
They was like at 4:52 who is this girl in the blue joining us? 🤣😂😂😂😂😭
Kkkkkkkkkkk
...All off beat and messing with their groove! 🤣
@@MissTXTee facts like tf sit yah ass down lol
I was waiting for this comment 😭😭💀😂
Yeah, but she didn't have to react like that, so what if the girl wanted to join in.
Glad to see 70’s roller skating making a comeback
Never went away in the South...grew up in the late 90s/00's and the same rink was around until it just closed in 2008 in SC
This is how we all should enjoy life... My parents owned roller skating rinks for almost 45 years and had a blast with everyone 💖 💗
ATL Squad is my favorite. But everyone was fun to watch. So talented I couldn’t do that, it takes roller skating to a new level love it. Need more videos ❤️
them guys were the bomb
...and THEN I thought about how good of a skater this CAMERAMAN has to be!!!
I just love watching the skaters. The talent they display is incredible!
This is just great. Everyone is having a good time together. Keep it up everyone.
