I love skating too, when I started I wish I had friends to skate with me. it's going on two years and I still skate by my self but that's ok some of the people the skating ring is pretty cool...
Ramona, there's skating every where. Check out "throwback 80s and 90s at the rink" on RUclips. That's Chicago style. Enjoy..... Oh, hope you're rolling.
I absolutely love skating. I got back into it in my 40's and there is a freedom and feeling of pure joy when I skate. Something powerful in the act of throwing your fear to the side and embracing the moment. Skating has allowed me to practice the art of embracing my fear (will I fall, can I go backwards, can I do that move) and live more in that moment. And the skating community is one of the most colorful and accepting people I have ever met. I am so grateful I found this beautiful community of people. Keep on skating ya'll. :)
I agree with you! 🥰 It’s been 4 mths and we’re in love! While not everyone there may have a pleasant vibe (kid party attendees for example lol) those who are there to actually skate are quite pleasant. I find that men are more inviting than women, in some instances, but that could very well just be my experience, so far. I’ve met lovely women as well. My whole family, husband and 4 children, are all learning and relearning (husband) how to skate and I believe it’s a til death type of situation 😂. Happy skating!!!
I started skating so i can do something for myself that doesn’t require friends.... it was annoying waiting for others to confirm with anything. That’s why I love skating because you can do it by yourself and for no one else!
I must say watching this makes me remember when I was growing up in the 90s and we would go roller skateing on the weekends and would listen to the loud music and hang with all diffrent people and ages,it was alot of fun and I remember feeling very free and happy rolling around,good times! Nostalgia!!
That was amazing. I’m only 13 and I have an intense passion for skating. I really love skating cause it brings all of us together no matter what we look like, talk like, etc. I hope that one day I can travel the USA/World and skate in every state or country. Always remember to have fun you guys! Chase your dream! Love yourself! Peace 😊✌🏽
Miss Mabel Madison is such an inspiration to me and the roller skating community. I had the pleasure of meeting her in Detroit 2 years ago. May she continue to enjoy her passion for roller skating and benefit from the many physical and mental attributes of the art.
Totally Awesome beautiful film😃👍😍🥰♥️‼️ I actually started skating in GG park in 1978 and I’m going tomorrow and still have the same high energy as when I was there at 16. Luv my skating family 🌈🌏☮️🎶💃🕺🎵😃👍
Loved this!! I have been roller skating for years and I used to be a skate guard at a rink while I was in college. I could use it to practice skating because I had a key and it was my job. So Yeah I used to skate professionally 😎🤷♀️ I bought a pair of skates with light up wheels. ❤️❤️❤️ last year during pandemic because the gym shut down... then I moved to SF area. Be seeing you all soon!! 🥰🚀 LETS ROLL!!
This is a good video. It sends a great message, no matter the ideology you have. What prevents you from agreeing with the message, is what is shown only... But the subliminal effects of the message can work with any culture. I find it a great way to unite the nation again.
Doing what you love is the key to living!! I love this wonderfully put video, bravo National Geographic!!! I am praying for a pair of skates with green tires and helmet and knee pads and elbow pads. I want to start living again, I have never skated, but each day is always a good day to start living.
@@mignondee Hi, Waiting on Yah's Lead!! I started for like two days (five feet is the furthest I can go). I then found out I had a brain aneurysm. I just had surgery to fix it like one month and two weeks ago. It was found on time and I have been healing. My dream, my wish, is to start skating, funny how your post showed up on my email. I am going to put my skates in my car today, and I have found a nice basketball court with green on asphalt (I am not sure what it is called, it looks safe) where I am going to skate today. I also found a indoor skate place like two miles from where I live and on Thursdays is adult skating, I am guessing the lights are low and older music, I am in!!! I need to embrace life with this new chance God gave me. Wow!! I posted the post a year ago! I could be skating backwards by now, lol. I even wrote in my journal that I want to skate like a week ago, just got confirmation from you, thank you!!! Hope you have a blessed day and thank you for asking. P.S. I also got elbow pads and knee pads and a helmet.
@@paperjellyfish143 That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad that you’re recovering well! I only comment when I feel led to, hence my username. I’ve started to skate after decades of fear and I’m in love! My husband and children skate with me as well so it’s become family fun time. What skates did you end up getting? I’m already wanting another pair, even though my first pair are great!
You guys filmed me but cut me out. Only in the background on one shot. But I'm use to getting cut out of exposure when it comes to skating here in the Bay.
He said a girl from puerto rico that pick poketed !! Lolo thats messed up , here i am tryning to leavr this island to move up there ...jajajaj, i dont smoke ....
San Fran is a terrible place, It’s cool people be skating all over California tho, I grew up skating. And I think California is known for skating in ways because I haven’t heard of other states having anything good
@@Unknown-rp8eh a happy person is wrong to see? What about war and homeless veterans on the street? It’s life. Respect for others should be taught to kids.
they say everyone is welcome . That's a lie i took my long board there and the black guy with the fuzzy boots pushed me off my board and called the cops he said rolerskates only' it is a public space he doesn't rent it out and there is no signs saying no skateboards
Sorry you were run off like that. It was actually a different guy that you're referring to. Not this guy. Despite there being no sign, it is legally a roller skating area per SF Parks & Rec.. It's the only place we have to roller skate safely.
That one guy with the Mohawk punched me in the face repeatedly when I first came out there. I said hey cut it out I am not into that. So it’s cool. You just have to be explicit about what you like and don’t like and wear clothes there and you will be OK. And don’t choose the blue pill, k? 😂🌈👍🏻

This is why I skate but I wish I had friends to skate with. It's hard to convince others to love it and try it.

KoroCreations get on Instagram! Big skating community there. Make you skate friend virtually and then meet up at skate events. :-)
I skate alone :( but because im too shy to make other friends
and im too old for that (?) :(
@@levit143 too old to make friends? No way! I skate with everyone when I went to the rink even older people.
I was so sad when the video was over!!! I was like, "Noooo! I need more of this!" Beautiful video. I was born in the wrong state and town.

I grew up skating, and thats all i was ever did and still do at 53 years of age ill keep going thank you to my mother and friends
Yes my mom is in her 60s and skated her whole life but stopped. I wish she'd skate with me.. God gives life in abundance..
I get it, me too - There is something magical when I roll. Something no one can take away.
Proud to be a part of this beautiful piece! Thank you Daniel.
Yes. I remember walking through Golden Gate Park as a kid and seeing all these colorful weirdos rollerskating and blading. Please, never stop! :)

Dude at 1:52 is talking about the manga Air Gear. Love it!
'Morpheous' chose the right pill and exists in the right world with skating in it. Inspiring.
I started crying. I miss sf so much
"You find when you take the skates off, you move through life skating."

Wise words my friend. You can. You can.

Yes! Life just feels so good on skates.
I was there in 79' too.. I worked at Skates on Haight :)
Now let’s make this global and definitely in cold climates please
This made me smile. Great portrait
I'M on the east coast and the west coast looks the same. There's something that's universal about skating.
I never knew about this! This warms my Cali heart 🩷🩷
life goals
Life goals, amen!
watching this was time well spent. I feel lighter. I'm going to go skating.

The guy a 4:42 has a piano shirt on. I think it is the same shirt that Michael Jackson wore in Beat it.
Haha! That's me, I'm actually a woman (my hair is tucked into my hat), but you are exactly right on the shirt!! ;-)
This is so SF heaven on wheels Is a channel that is participating in this same dance on skates check it out
