When you're 55 and know you did every move here and even more in 1985 and your arthritis kills you today, sucks. So sad when we get older. Enjoy skating as long as you can in life, folks. It's a short trip on earth.

Truth!!

[@sweetsugarjones]

I have early advanced osteoarthritis and it’s a lot to come to terms with, especially when you see other people doing things you still want to do. It started at 40, disability at your age and it’s spread throughout my spine and hands now at age 62. There’s nerve interference when it’s inflamed. It took a while but eventually I got so tired of my own self pity that I decided to focus on the things I can still do. That’s when I saw that community and love are actually what most makes (skating and) everything in life fun. We can still do that part, and that idea helped me to feel somewhat like myself again. I continue to bellyache about it because it’s hard, but I don’t feel like my life is over anymore and I hope you don’t either. You’re not even very old! Joy still exists for us and for so many who share physical challenges. Go get it ♥️

[@kathyhames2200]

I feel ya! We didn't ask Arthur permission to enter our body It's sad when we were younger we never listened to our parents about getting old So when we got that Email things started falling off😂 it's not what we ask for

[@justallah2785]

@@kathyhames2200 I still think we are a little better physically than our grandparents. I couldn't imagine them roller skating. I was shocked at Ms Mable who is 90 with a boyfriend in his 60's. She credited her longevity to a clean lifestyle. Never taking drugs, alcohol or consuming pork.

[@lbu9542]

No violence, different cultures having fun together, just good clean fun. Love it!

I am an 80-year-old white woman and I spent my growing up years wearing my mother's shoe skates that had wooden wheels. Best years of my life. Wonderful seeing these youngsters and oldsters doing something wholesome and fun. Just gave up rollerblading. 😂

Well said

[@diggledoggledo]

Yeah this was nostalgic. Saw some people from our generation in their still holding it down. Great to see. BTW the demographic changed a bit depending on which Airbase my mom was at the time (SD, NB, Germany) but this is what it was like everywhere- skating and hanging out. Glad to see it still exists in some places - thought it had went the went the way of the drive-in theatre.

I love this so much and it is soooo different to the Australian Roller Skating scene. Without trying to sound controversial in any way, this might be one of your 1st videos with white folk in it. I find that really interesting how these nights are predominantly black folks. Everyone has so much style, it's incredible. There is nothing like this here in Australia. Such an wonderful subcultural experience, including the music. America has so many interesting pockets like this, much like the Detroit Techno scene and Chicago House scenes. I love it. If I ever visit America this will be one thing I want to experience.
