Thank you sooooo much! I skated for years and years every Friday and Saturday night in late 70’s. Miss all my skating friends and my old girl friend Lori J. Love those couples sake! Air hockey, pinball, concession ladies, coat check, silk shorts and jeans and of course my long hair Thst drove the girls crazy. Thanks so much for this. Wish we had those days back.
I miss Roller Rinks , they all went by the way of the drive In movie , those 4 wheels were great , 1975 was my first year at 14 at the rink , we skated every Wednesday night at Hialeah roller rink to Americas Top 40, It was fun times growing up in the 1970s .
I cant believe this video is actually on youtube what a great job..I used to be there all the time when i was 12 up to 15 years old lol thanks for sharing :)
Great video. I wish there was more footage of the crowd of skaters at Montvale. My girl and I skated there every Saturday night at that time. I met her there and we are still together. Married to her 45 years now. I also went to Paramus rink occasionally.
I remember 2 roller rinks in and around my old neighborhood , I personally didn't go to them , my friends and I would roller skate in the schoolyard or the streets themselves , we all played street hockey ,,,,, and most of the time the puck was a roll of 1" masking tape or electrical tape ,,,, I also remember our skates had the metal wheels and they needed to be replaced every so often , we also had a key for tightening up the skates on our shoes and doing repairs on the skates ,,,, What a great time most of us had , whether it was going to the roller rink or skating in the streets,,,, Thanks so very much for sharing this video with us all 👍
I was never great on Roller Skates! But tried a few years ago in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. It was fun. Like a look back to an earlier time. Where I grew up in New Hampshire there were a few rinks, namely a place called "Al's Casino" in Enfield, NH. I'd like to try again! Fun to watch the "Rollers" and listen to the music! A good Roller Rink song from the 60s is "Telstar" by The Tornados!
Yes, people were much happier and better off all the way around during this time period

Are you kidding? Just look at them! Smoking cigarettes and making obscene gestures at the camera and that older woman should know better. It's revolting.
I wished I had a time machine and I would go back and blend into that crowd to experience the 70s. As an added bonus I'd blast an N'Sync song over the sound system just to see the looks on all their faces. LOL Then I'd have to destroy it of course. LOL
Este video es espectacular!!!ké epoca ké looks ..la gente ..es impresionante como cambian los tiempos ..definitivamente esto es un documento muy valioso y nostalgico...y otra cosa muy importante ke keria remarcar es:ké hermosas chicas ke abian en esos tiempos y en ese lugar..encantadoras😍💖💕
Hello! I am a freelance production coordinator currently working for the Japanese TV program and we are currently producing an urban street program (FOR INLINE SKATE / ROLLERBLADE EPISODE) for Japanese viewers. I would love to use this clip for about 15-30seconds in our edit so TV hosts can watch. Is it ok to use this clip for our show?
Can't tell you how many times I fell in the skating rinks in the 70s, LOL. I was a teenage in the 70s. I finally managed to break my leg skating, but not at a rink, go figure, LOL. I was born in 1961 and I plan not to skate again at 61, no more broken legs, LOL.
I started skating when the Everly Bros, Cascades, Cliff Richard, Dave Clark 5 were playing in the rinks. October 2023 I bought a pair of skates from Amazon and realized that skating *is not* like bicycling where you just hop back on and take off. Took some time to relearn my balance but still being very careful not to fall hard. Never too late to try again. Turning 71 soon. ☮
People used to go out and do things before cell phones, social media and internet. I would say it was better times. Except for the cigs. That's something they got wrong back then.
There is a second video on this channel made on Video tape is named Roller Skating Memories 1983. It captures the original music played from the same rink. You will notice, this rink played traditional skating music. This homemade silent film was made 1972-1974 and wasn't able to capture the original sound. What you hear in the 1983 video is about what was heard back in the early 70's. I don't recall grooving 70's music being played at this rink.
@@scottmervis8554If you ever went to Great Skates in Queen, NY back in the 1980's they played EXTREMELY loud rock music!!! You could not have a simple conversation with anyone because you would not be able to hear each other. My ears were hurting when I finally went home. I never went back again.

Went here in 1967 and 1968 as a 16 and 17 year old teen.Lot's of fun and great memories.This film brought it all back, thanks for posting.
Everyone was so much skinnier. Fond memories of roller skating. Thanks for posting.
@Michele S. plates weren't the size of manhole covers and portion sizes were not enormous.
@@ykk239. People also went out and did things rather than stay sitting in front of computers and televisions…

Absolutely wonderful. Who would have thought while filming this it would be a time capsule of sorts. Loved it, thank you for posting.
4:50 I remember clearly that kind lady at the concession stand. She was so nice. She made us feel right at home.
How old are you if you don’t mind me asking
I remember her to. Her name was Bernice Henderson. She was a sweet heart! ❤️
We had so much fun skating to knock 3 times, the archies, simon and garfunkel! Great old days!
Can we please just go back to that time?

Thanks so very much for sharing this video with us all 👍
Our roller garden was a big building in St. Louis Park Minnesota. Still in business as far as I know.
Awesome video!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!! Watching this is so much fun!!!
They had a DJ when I use to go skating as a kid. They played the hit songs at that time. No organ music. I lived in Ohio.
My favorite place every weekend!!!!! Paramus and Montvale NJ
Hey Pat, the restored footage is awesome. Love it
Thanks for sharing!

You mean that you were unable to find some decent music? I couldn’t finish the video.
Where is this?
Paramus, NJ Route 17 North
i know that's not the music they played. They had to be grooving to some 70s music.

I.ll bet it was plenty of weed smokin goin on in the restroom
Cool footage,but that organ music sounds horrible!
Organ music 😂😂
Needed better music. 70s music would’ve been better than that carnival music you had.
I think the RUclipsr put this up im sure these folks wasnt actually skating to this look st them u know it was some weed smokin goin on !!
Sorry, but organ music is a staple at most roller rinks.
@@scottmervis8554 What roller rink did YOU go to, you poor thing!!!

Pipe is MUCH better than electric, but there’s only one rink in the world to have one left
Could you put worse music to this video? It was painful listening to it.
the worst music ever created
