The halcyon days of youth. Bauer Turbo's, wide trucks, Bel Air hockey wheels. We used to skate at a rink in Wigan, just round the corner from "the Pier" nightclub.
Speed skating, hockey stops, Tainted Love, Timerider, Rebel MC, Mad Dog 20/20..
Oh yeah, and meeting Mrs Lucorave. I'm impressed that so many on here are former skaters. 😆
Roller bladers...
Monkeysfeet - and any other north west lapsed skaters - glad to hear there's so many of you - get yourself to Bury Rink. It's great. Really big. It's the full floor above the DW gym. Weekday nights it's quite quiet so you can fly round!
We should get a STW skate night organised!
MF - you soon get it back. It's like... erm... riding a bike 😀
I've taught Binnerette no 2 (ten year old) and she's happily skates along backwards now. Binnerette number 1 (13) rolls her eyes when I do hockey stops as she says it's 'showy-offy' ! It's just how I stop! 😆
