Where are all my 70 babies raised in the 80s ? This is all we did down South baby. I’m so damn happy to see the skating culture is still alive. I remember Superskate on Tidwell and Mesa. Now it’s a Kipp Academy. Damn I’m old
Skating gave me a lot a wife 2 kids and 4 grand kids i miss it no good rinks here anymore we have to drive over an hour to get to one . I'm glad the skate culture is still strong in some places
it doesnt matter where you look on RUclips, you WILL NOT find another channel that puts you IN the rink, in that inner circle of people like these, shining like stars, that even if you never meet them , you feel like you're there with them. Thanks Malik from all of us that can't be there, or do the magic that you do.
This was so dope! I totally enjoyed every moment, every angle, and every individual skater featured here. The whole Black People vibe was incredible, and big props on the soundtrack!
I moved to Houston four yrs ago and had no idea. My sister and I use to go skating every weekend in austin when we were younger. I would love to do it again. Thank you for putting me on..
I’m watching from London 🇬🇧. The skate culture over here has nothing on the US scene & I love it! 😩. Thanks for your content, it’s motivating me to be like all of you 😄
No. Be yourself...that is what is best for black culture and keeps it fresh and moving forward. Instead of mimicking others, we add our unique input...
Uk don’t have no skate roller skate culture......your right lol However this has inspired me ,I’m going to find my behind to the US,find one sexy American man to teach me 😝
I never skated in my life and don't know anything about it (randomly ran across this video) - but this, THIS, I can rock with. All I can say though, damn my people got so much swag, rhythm, style, finess, grace and can make damn near anything lit or look good. Plus, good to see my people genuinely having fun /without the drama.
left NYC in 1982..haven't skated since.. in 2018 was diagnosed as not to be able to walk again.. Fooled them rehab, by the sweet GRACE of GOD and my own determination I will not only walk but run and SKATE TOO !! got my CHICAGO'S staked with Precision bearings and great wheels.... thanks to Mr. RICK @ ROLLER SKATEs OF AMERICA IN Lawndale, CA.. I will be out there West Covina, Pasadena, Rose Bowl and VENICE.. Gotta get that GROOVE TURN IT IN TO A BOUNCE AND ROCK OUT ROLLING BABY
I ain't gonna tell no lie, I clicked on this thumbnail because I thought the cool cat at the beginning was Jonathan McReynolds... but I'm sure glad that I did. I used to skate 30+ years ago and this video lifted my spirits way up high. For real. Thank you so much for sharing. Y'all keep skating and spreading those positive vibes across this nation! 🛼🛼🛼🛼💕💕
After watching a bunch of these videos, it is nice to see a positive group drop the drama and enjoy the music together as one people.. we are all the same with or without skates
Maaaaannnn looking at these videos are making me want to go to these cities that are keeping the skating culture alive. I loved skating as a kid but faded out. Love my people. NO OTHER CULTURE LIKE OURS
I can only hope skating has made a comeback (to the mainstream) and we can keep some roller rinks from closing. I love seeing people enjoying themselves in unity!
I love every skater on here y’all are sooo beautiful so talented😍🔥🔥🔥🔥the soundtrack hittin🔥🔥🔥🔥shout-out to the camera person excellent job capturing this greatness
I am loving these videos, I never knew anyone was still roller skating, it is so great to see all these people out having fun, exercising and putting down their cell phones!! Too much fun!!
Shalam, Brother. Naw, you're wrong. I just copped some skates after 25+ years of not having skated. My daughter saw some old Skate Key vids and asked if I went there when I was young. Soon as I said yes, she was looking for spots. Lefrak Center/Prospect Park is dope. Brooklyn Bridge has a nice view but you're forced to wear wrist guards. The best bang for your buck is Branchbrook, in Newark. Longest skate times and it's peaceful. Have met many brothers and sisters. All love. Good fun, mixed with cardio, for the babies.
I'm loving these videos. All them Kings and Queens in one place vibing off each other and having a good time. Just glowing all over the place and lighting up the building.
I missed out this year but you definitely captured the vibe perfectly with this edit. Saw some familiar faces and many new ones. Loved how comfortable you are in the middle of the action. "No skaters were harmed in the making of this video!"🙋 🚨
Ahhhhhh this brings back memories. I started skating at 2. And skated 3-5 days a week. I took figure skating lessons on roller skates. I am 57 and I was disabled by a car accident 20 yrs ago. I could do all of what I see and more. I'd love to see one of these really good spinners try a flying camel spin . Thats on one leg forwards or backwards with one leg at a 90 degree angle going in a tight circle. The only bad thing I can say is there are too many skaters on that rink to have some real fast synchronized jumping and spinning, kicking your feet upward to your head fun . Great video.
Some amazing skaters and dancers out there in Houston!!! It is beautiful dance art!!! So inspiring to see skate culture keeping on!! Stay safe peeps and wear them masks!
Super duper dope! and for those who watch Malik on youtube and think he edit out the bad takes aint no bad takes dude is really like that in the RINK!!! Shoutout RENTAL! lol #salute nice meeting you brody!
looks like mad fun!!! so cool to see people coming together and just having old fashioned fun, no drama!!! respect to all skaters, wish that i had just a few of smooth flowing moves like the ones i see up here
Incredible video of amazing skating from the greatest city! Thank you so much for making this. My wife and I can't wait to get back to Houston via Maine on 4 wheels though. Best video, thank you thank you thank you!
Malik, WHY weren't you out there skating?! I am ALWAYS ready to see the symbol that points to you says "Malik Thomas".Lol. Everyone is so talented but you are by far MY FAVORITE skater! The edits and so freaking clean and the camera is so steady when filming others. I don't know how you do it but please don't stop. We sincerely appreciate the hard work and time you put into making these amazing videos 👑💖🤎💖🤎
It was entirely too much traffic for me to get out there and trust someone with my setup. I'd cry if someone were to trip my friend while he recorded me. I know my trust and ability to maneuver through people but not anyone else's.
First, thank you as always for another hot vid. Next, appreciate the "real" report on what things are really like. How you do one thing is how you do everything. Fan tastic👌🏾
hello Malik..You actually peaked my interest in skating in Texas. I went to a Black owned rink in Houston and skated 2 days there.The food and people were incredible and the skating scene is alive and kicking. From there,I visited San Antonio and skated there and in Austin, and had a great time. Hell yeah I will be back, and I need some suggestions which rinks to definitely visit...
I miss skating much it used to be such fun the scene died here locally for me we still have a skate rink but it is like a ghost town and that is such a shame considering how free we felt skating many years ago @ Malik Thank You Mate love watching the vibe these skating vids pump out
Back in the 80’s Houston’s Rainbow Skating Rink and Fondren Great Skate were the places to get your skate on.. Good to see these places still exist in the H-Town. The last one here in San Diego closed down about 2-3 years ago.. Places where people of color can go and enjoy a drama free time are slowly disappearing. Oh yeah, you still can’t top a step show on skates. 🤘🏾
Wow beautiful video , just like back In the days thanks everybody was wonderful and very talented too you just made me want to skate again. I loved it and thank you again. .......bye Ms.Reddflo
Just came across this channel today n Can't stop watching them now. U did a great job filming. I cant believe though how many people r pulling there mask down ...half way.... or all the way ...wow!!!

Exactly!!!😊
I think people are confused by the cameraman/woman zooming in on the "Mask Required" sign in the beginning of the video.
@@melaar9496 They are required off the floor. Not on

Super skate was the place to be..
Now that was back in the day real talk
Skating gave me a lot a wife 2 kids and 4 grand kids i miss it no good rinks here anymore we have to drive over an hour to get to one . I'm glad the skate culture is still strong in some places
I'M 70S AND GOD BLESSED THE SHIT OUT OUR GENERATION.....I PRAISED GOD HE DIDN'T LET ME BE BORN IN 2DAY'S WORLD.....
I'm a 60's baby who skated in the 70's!

Feeling good vibes Roller Houston Party, catchy tunes, I was dancing my butt off
