Jonjay - A Rollerskating Jam Called Starburst

Jonjay - A Rollerskating Jam Called Starburst

In America, this hobby was most popular, first between 1935 and the early 60's and then in the 70's, when polyurethane wheels were created and "Disco" oriented roller rinks were the rage and then again in the 1990s(In-line Skating)

Couples & shadow skate, the hokey-pokey, Four Corners game, the Limbo, the money machine, and the amazing feeling of cruising around the skating rink backwards – that was roller skating in the 80's/90's. When the weather was bad or you needed a cool escape from the summertime heat, the roller rink was the perfect retreat. Either if it was skating to a DJ mixin' good music, a fun activity; the toliet paper bash, playing video games and foosball tourneys, junk food a-plenty (Starburst Pizza-the best) and the making of new friendships.
Dark and wondrous inside, even in the middle of the afternoon, the roller rink was like escaping to another world. It was all very innocent, but it felt oh-so-grownup at the time.

Enjoy!
...............And Keep On Skatin'
