Awesome Nostalgia Video!!! Rollers was such a plus for Milton Keynes, used to always go with friends from Aston Clinton and Aylesbury back in the day! Give me a pair of Bauer Turbo's any day over an electric scooter!! 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️🍻🍻🍻🙏🙏

Thank you for posting, Miss those times, me and my friends used to travel from Bedford to Rollers pretty much every Friday night around 1996-1998 if I remember. Happy times 🙂

You don't know how much I miss this place. Nothing fun like this left in MK now

[@nepzz95]

Incredible video! Wow what a throwback, thank you for posting this. I used to go to activity land after school club and used to walk past this all the time to get to the play area behind it. I’ve tried to find videos and pictures of it and never have until now! Almost brings a tear to my eye. Definitely need to bring this back

[@MidiansMusic]

I worked and skated on the rink for 10 years...so miss this place :( Thanks for your comments

[@nepzz95]

@@MidiansMusic MK is really missing a place like this, it baffles me how we don’t have a proper skate rink here. Can’t believe you used to work there man. Incredible place

[@MidiansMusic]

@@nepzz95 Yeah, that's me putting the cones back at 0:30 and speed skating at 2:20 :)

[@nepzz95]

@@MidiansMusic takes some serious skill to kick cones like that in skates haha, I would’ve fallen flat on my face

[@jodiemccarthy1115]

[@spartakas659]

Wow this gave me chills. Hey Stuart remember giving me those bel air hockeys. The names Marc I’m sure you remember. those wheels changed my life dude. Dam I miss those days.

[@kapzuk]

I used to LIVE at the Agora and Rollers in MK - skating was my life - I loved it

[@TheRetroShed]

Great times! We had nothing like this in Birmingham so used to travel to MK with a few car fulls on a Fri or Sat night in the very early 90s. Such a great place. Many happy memories of Rollers in MK.

[@nrgize77]

Its also so great to see some footage of Rollers from when it was open :)

[@jamienewman1488]

activity world i miss this place, child hood memories this was located at the now MK Dons Stadium. I remember when they had Mr Blobby there.

[@MidiansMusic]

You're close, it was located where Ikea is now

[@jamienewman1488]

so asda would have been the go karts? what was near mk dons, i remember when the xscape was nothing more than a construction site.

[@MidiansMusic]

The MK Dons Stadium was just football playing fields originally

[@mitchelrichardson8164]

but hey, Activity World still exist!! I went there 2 years ago.

[@stregasplasticcartel812]

I used to go here every fri or sat night 96-98. Miss those days. Activity world took too much of the rink. Phil Taylor... Anyone here from the same era?

[@stephenr6427]

Used to go here every weekend from 94 to 98 loved it even see pj and dunken there 😂

[@Hazzar_Dee_DNB]

we need another rollers & sanctuary in mk

[@dantaylor7344]

Lost count of the number of times I've been mashed off my face in that arena! What memories. HSO

[@HerbmanSmuggler]

Forward ever backward never

[@JamaicanMeCrazy86]

It’s bizarre seeing kids sat drinking pop where I was absolutely off my tits having it to HMS and loftgroover the weekend before.

[@monkeyswift100]

Ooh yes indeed.... Make so noise for the awesome memories 😜

[@ash002004]

Miss this place, started off my love for Hockey here, would love to get back in touch with my old team mates

[@nrgize77]

I worked here in 2000. Used to love the "Death Slide " The equipment was very worn out at the end, and thought they made a mistake making the skating rink smaller by adding the carts. I wonder what happened with the statue that was behind the DJ Booth.

[@MarkeyJester]

Anyone know the tune at around 8:48? This video needs a playlist, pronto! Such nostalgia... It's been soooo long since I've stepped foot into Rollers, it's so amazing to see it once more!!

[@christopherliggins5193]

Sounded briefly like Happy Clappers - I Believe ... I maybe wrong though, but still a classic tune :oD .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faa3mmaca6ilnas

[@MarkeyJester]

BINGO! You were almost spot on the money! The samples were exactly from there, so I looked thoroughly for remixes and other tunes that may have sampled from it, and ahoy! .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/on_TlI2vrtCggsk Thanks alot guys, much appreciated =3

[@UnmuffledRyan]

Swear I just saw myself at 2:41. Bauer Turbos boys! LOL

[@rabbit5508]

miss it so much.only 1can watch.

[@PaulRadwell]

Absolute scenes!!!

[@organickumquat]

used to go here alllll the time. miss the place. whatever happened to Curtis the DJ!? didnt his family own the place?

[@MidiansMusic]

No, they never owned the place as it was owned by Paul Sharp (who also owned Rollerbury). Curtis is still around, not DJing anymore.

[@olatron]

Not sure when it opened but I was there 1989 - 1990... that adventure world crap wasn't there at the end and the rink was bigger. The DJ had Technics 1210s It was all new and seemed pretty plush at the time. There was a bar above the restaurant, we used to pass for minors to pay the cheap price to get in, and then get served alcohol (snake bite and black usually) in the bar upstairs, followed by a juicy Rollerdog™. Fucking top times. Big up the oldskool LB Rollers crew!

[@chainsawshack1979]

Great times , fell in love with the Narc arcade here , great times , the Wolverton Agora now do roller disco Friday and Saturday evenings with hire available , type in Jerrys rollerskating on facebook for details

[@chainsawshack1979]

Quality , my old Bauer Turbo died , and you cant get them in my size anymore , i keep meaning to go but I will have to get the dreaded hire skates haha ;)

[@christopherliggins5193]

My name's Chris from 50 Shades of Milton Keynes fan page on Facebook. I've been doing some research for Milton Keynes and come across this classic video. I was wondering if we could put it on our page, with a credit to you of course, as some viewers have problems viewing KZbin videos on certain devices (for whatever reason). Many thanks :o)

[@MidiansMusic]

Not a problem Chris, thanks for asking. I also have 100's of photos from Rollers too...well, I did basically live there for 10 years!

[@christopherliggins5193]

LOL - You probably knew my Sister and her friends .. Popi, Katherine and Aaron McKenny :o) I love the bit near the beginning where someone says to the other "you stink of booze!" ... hahaha quality :-D

[@MidiansMusic]

Not too sure if I remember the girls, but I do know the McKenny boys

[@christopherliggins5193]

My Sister (Popi) was dating Aaron for a while :o)

[@MidiansMusic]

Carts? Statue? Are you sure it was Rollers in MK? I worked there for 8 years, don't know what you mean?

[@mitchelrichardson8164]

I know what he meant, you will see the Statue at 12.15. just above behind where the DJs are.

[@MrJimbob3573]

[@ededdynova]
