[@KM-px8cs]

I love seeing my people have good fun.

[@alwaysastudent]

I miss skate key and empire!!!! I moved back to the east coast in the past year; where are the rinks at I can go to now? I looked, and they mostly seem to be closed down...? I miss this kind of music too. Last rink I went to they played mostly modern rap music... I am also rusty on the skates these days too... I need more practice! Where can I practice! Somebody help! HA!

JohannaMarie125 facts I grew up at the key..

[@cocobrowns]

[@castoputa]

I started skating again after watching your videos! Wish there were places as amazing as these in the UK... :)

[@evamclaughlin4158]

Im Brooklyn for life'''''''' miss and love empire , do that shit Big Bob

[@bellalegosi7850]

Looks like a Damn good time. Greetings from chitown!

[@moiseomri]

Will always miss those memories! Nothing but sheer "fun" every skate session!

[@irishopkins5248]

This is amazing!!! Just got new skates, replacing my wheels to 98A and bearings, tightened up my trucks. I'm committed to practicing for the next coming months to get like this.

[@ericjordan6059]

In order to do what you see here, get some 103A (All American Plus) wheels and loosen up those trucks some. The slippery wheels help with spins and slides and loosening the trucks helps with turns and edge play. It will take some time getting used to but once you do, whhhhhhooooooo!!!!

[@irishopkins5248]

I wish I would have seen this sooner! I just got some Bones Super Elites 101a and Reds Bearings. Do think I’ll roll and slide just fine? Also is it normal for skaters to have multiple wheels, I would be willing to get some 103a.

[@ericjordan6059]

@@irishopkins5248 .... I've never had experience with the Bones 101A wheels. From what I've heard they don't have as much slide as the AA pluses. It also depends on how slick the skate floor is as well. You can try em out and see how you like em.

[@ericjordan6059]

@@irishopkins5248 ... With the Bones Red bearings you'll be fine. It'll take some getting used to because Bones bearings roll fast. I have the Bones Swiss and they roll super smooth and fast.

[@Koro098]

My local rink doesn't wax their floors so I settle with some soft outdoor wheels to skate :/

[@LoyaltyChild777]

I miss these days and I'm only 23. Where these still happening at I most definitely travel to a different state. 😇😇💪💪

[@ericjordan6059]

Branchbrook in Newark, NJ is the spot on Sunday nights, Mondays and Wednesdays. Sunday mornings, some of the Skate 22 crew come out and practice at Woodbridge community center in Woodbridge, NJ. 12pm-5pm

[@nuffflavor]

Nothing but Good Times ! keep rollin !

Everyone is so amazing!

[@ashantizulu144]

I use to skate with all of these Cats back @ Empire in Bklyn . Shoutouts ta Big Bob.. now I’m here in Orlando Fl and their Roller Rink is wack as ever 😑..

[@ericjordan6059]

There aren't any good rinks nearby? I'm taking the family to Disney this summer and need a place to at least get some practice. Thanks.

[@ashantizulu144]

Eric Jordan not that I know of .. I heard Universal Studios but I’m like whatever.. 🙄.. my skates got dust on em

[@geraldparks6428]

[@johnnykhalifa23]

13:10 what's the song name

[@Tsacchi94]

need too..

[@JavaStrider42]

larenceluv, or anyone here, whats the name of this rink? I gotta check this out!

[@desidesiree6358]

What city is this in?!?

[@valerieann8007]

This is not a tiny bit as good as Skate Key or Empire, and all their other DJs where 100 X's better than Big Bob. Big Bob NEVER DJ'd at Skate Key, and when Big Bob DJ'd at Empire instead of DJ Q, he played consistently lousy music. It's hard to skate well to lousy music. If the music's this bad, all the good skaters leave, or won't come in the first place. The best roller rink DJ's should be great skaters with apprentice DJ's assisting.

[@stephaniemcelroy1011]

whatsup seeya soon newyork
