Not me. This one slim fine broad who let me take a turn years ago skated religiously. She stopped. Now she about 60lbs overweight :mad:
 
I always wondered about the economics of owning a rink. Those who skate love it. And it’s a good low impact exercise.

I saw a special where a lot of larger rinks don’t like the “black “ style of skating. Shocking

Just pondering the business opportunity
 
I hadn't went skating for over thirty years, so the wife talks me into going about two years ago. My wife used to double dutch as well as skate, she's really active.

I pulled my skates out, get to rink and put them on. Shiiiiiit, I had issues standing up on the carpet. Wifey goes straight to the wooden floor, goes around a few times, then she starts skating backwards. I'm like damn.

I get to the floor, and I put my arms in front of me like Frankenstein. I go around a couple of times, I'm really timid though. Little kids are zooming by giving me the side eye like, "Get your old ass out the way Old Head!" LOLOL. I had to stay near the rail because I had forgotten how to stop.

We had a good time though. There's a skate builder in LA called "Sk8 Fanatics." I'm getting wifey some custom skates made from Doc Martins. I already have some Stacey Adams skates that they made for me last year.

Its great exercise. Not to mention the ladies. We try to go on adult nights when there's not any kids, and that's also when the Black folks are there. They play R&B on those nights. There's not too many white folks in attendance on those nights as well. We have our own flavor when it comes to skating. Most white folks just can't keep up.
