I hope shyt works out
It'll be a good way of keeping these kids off the streets but it's already lookin ugly. The Yards and Mexicans already hittin up their sets on the building walls..
shyt is corny to me how people come looking for trouble instead of a good time.. but it's LA
Still love my city
I thought the original reason it got shut down was because of repeated gang violence?
Anyone who had access to skates in the late 80's tried this atleast once.

I went to skate Depot back in the day when they had a retro 80's throwback party. It was a gang of bytches in there. I aspect nothing but fukkery once world wheels opens back up since the new owner said he is aiming for that 13-20 crowd
Yes sir!
When I was still living on the West, Skate Depot was our rink of choice and it was ALWAYS poppin'.
When I moved out here we had Skateland, and that was ALWAYS poppin', until niccas started going up there
just to fight and they shut it down. Damn shame.
Hell, even down South in the middle of nowhere, Granddad had a skating rink he opened on the weekends
and it was ALWAYS poppin' when I went down to visit, because there wasn't much else to do in town on the weekend.
But he shut it down when he got ill to where he didn't have the time to run it anymore.

Rollerskating still has a cult following over here in Newark with Branch Brook. Especially on first Thursdays of every month.

Empire and Skate Key both closed around the same time in NY. Empire was the place to be for years and years and I was there on the last day. I haven't been skating since. It was definitely a big part of the culture especially for the youth which was a pre club thing. You couldn't skate to a lot of the bullshyt you hear now because there's no groove to the music. There was a certain bounce and rhythm the song had to have so you could really flow on your skates. My mom and dad were great skaters and they taught me and my sister too so we all loved to go. Also in Charleston when I was down south Stardust skating rink was dope too. I loved going skating every Friday or Saturday night. It was really a freeing feeling with you gliding on your skates and the music bumping especially if it was your song. Damn it's hard to believe and sad that the youth today won't get to have that.

The music changed. Crunk/Snap changed a lot of things for black culture across the country. There was a divide between rap music and black dance music up until the early 00's. Once they became one in the same, a lot of things in regards to black dance culture changed/stopped/scaled down.
