Roller Skating Memories 1972-1974

Went here in 1967 and 1968 as a 16 and 17 year old teen.Lot's of fun and great memories.This film brought it all back, thanks for posting.

Everyone was so much skinnier. Fond memories of roller skating. Thanks for posting.

Thank you sooooo much! I skated for years and years every Friday and Saturday night in late 70’s. Miss all my skating friends and my old girl friend Lori J. Love those couples sake! 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.

I miss Roller Rinks , they all went by the way of the drive In movie , those 4 wheels were great , 1975 was my first year at 14 at the rink , we skated every Wednesday night at Hialeah roller rink to Americas Top 40, It was fun times growing up in the 1970s .

I cant believe this video is actually on youtube what a great job..I used to be there all the time when i was 12 up to 15 years old lol thanks for sharing :)

Absolutely wonderful. Who would have thought while filming this it would be a time capsule of sorts. Loved it, thank you for posting.

4:50 I remember clearly that kind lady at the concession stand. She was so nice. She made us feel right at home.

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.

Awesome video!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!! Watching this is so much fun!!!

We had so much fun skating to knock 3 times, the archies, simon and garfunkel! Great old days!

Hey Pat, the restored footage is awesome. Love it

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 👍

Thanks for sharing!

Our roller garden was a big building in St. Louis Park Minnesota. Still in business as far as I know.

They had a DJ when I use to go skating as a kid. They played the hit songs at that time. No organ music. I lived in Ohio.

My favorite place every weekend!!!!! Paramus and Montvale NJ

Can we please just go back to that time?

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!

Hey this video is awesome!

Yes, people were much happier and better off all the way around during this time period
