My first time at 8otb was in 2001. I used to play DDR at the Keansburg boardwalk and the Freehold mall. Someone had told me about this place and I had to check it out. I miss those days. Remember Para Para Paradise???? I'm 33 now and don't have the stamina anymore but I still play 10 or 15 songs on Heavy at home daily on the PS2.

[@DanVargasFilms]

+GT6SuzukaTimeTrials we definitely remember Para Para lol. That was close to the time we were going. We went almost every weekend.
