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.

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!

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

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.

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. ☮
