20 years old, cleaned em up, like riding a bike, I havent forgotten how to use them. The wheels have had a hard life though, the bearings dont fit snug in them anymore. Those Sims Two Tone wheels cost me £60 about 18 years ago, apparently they are still about the same price now!

There was a group of us that used to skate, we used to spend the best part of 6 hours a day on them 7 days a week. Kept us fit too at the time. Before the days of Playstation etc...

I was of the era of Blades, used to love my baurers.

I seen a bloke around manchester the other week skating, I wonder if it's on the comeback?

You'd get the pish ripped out of you if you were kicking about on roller skates up here

There was nothing fashionable about them really, it was just function.

Didn't want to start slinging insults but no, it's because to be wearing roller skates over blades is in no way beneficial. The only reason you'd be wearing them is to be a contrarian wanker

Or if you didn't have blades, in which case walk.

Down here people wearing blades were the ones trying to be different.

Need hockey socks tucked between liner and boot, then pin the tongue down the front.

Love mine, made sure I bought a pair before they stopped selling them.

I binned my skates when I was about 15. At no point in the next 13 years have I regretted it.

Ive got a pair of Roches in the loft, with some suregrip wheels. Im old enough to say blades wernt in demand when i used to skate. Did see them more and more before i stopped.

Always tempted to get them out for a blast but i dont want to look like a reet donkey, 32 years old flying about on quads with pink wheels. And probably bits of gravel stuck under my skin.

Had roller skates when I was younger, nothing fancy.

Kids around here starting to wear again. Back in fashion soon I think
