Wow this thread brings back memories and also reminds me how old I am.
Before my obsession with mountain bikes I was obsessed with skating. Tried to do a little bit of everything but was mainly into cone skating. Started the cone skating scene at Overlook Park in Leonia. Would spend many weekday evenings there skating and met some great people. Spent weekends in Central Park skating cones at the location of @EJphotos meme. Pretty sure skating is what caused the hip issues I have now. Fun times.
Would be in for an mtbnj skate party.

yooo I used to spend 99% of my free time during elementary and middle school playing street roller hockey. Ironically, this asian kid and my best friend who is black used to dominate. Two versus how many ever wanted to play against us. These were the good times playing in condo parking lot and probably dented all the cars there. haha
I had my hockey skates up till a few years ago. I whipped the out during a fundraiser for my kids school and I took them to the franklin park rink. I did a couple of sweet moves and the plastic toe cap shattered! Plastic breaking down from storage

Used to play a lot of street roller hockey back in a day.
It is no secret that Skateboard industry killed Roller Blades with these type of slogans -
"What is the hardest part of Rollerblading? Telling your parents you are gay."

I have CCM hockey skates that I retrieved from my mom's house now that my kids are learning to ice and roller skate to play hockey. It's been fun playing with them.
Years ago when I was playing regularly I was telling my friend that I'd sometimes play roller hockey at the outdoor rink in Monroe on Saturdays. She was like "oh so you Rollerblade?" And I kept responding with "to play hockey". This exchange where I didn't explicitly say Yes went back and forth at least 5 times before I finally said "yes", to which she asked "is that how you told your mom you were gay?".

Ouch, haha.
Having been in the skate scene at that time, all the sudden you had rollerbladers flooding the parks and it quickly became the easiest was to “get rad”. Xgames added it and the average age ended up being like 12 years old, which was an indication of the difficulty of the tricks. Typical to any groms at the park, he becomes a game of snake the whole time you are there because kids DGAF.
Scooters are the new rollerblades, btw.
All that being said, it had nothing to do with roller hockey.
Because it's fun and I like it, and I don't care what people think about me.
I watched this video on youtube and thought it was pretty interesting:
X-games definitely blew it up, though I always thought skateboarding was more exciting and interesting to watch. I've never been to a skate park, not sure if they were a thing in my area when I was a kid.
Lol, I heard this joke from my brother in high school as "What's the hardest thing about rollerblading in Central Park?" Funny enough, I was in Central Park over the weekend and thought how awesome it would be if I had my rollerblades 🤣
What's the hardest thing about wearing spandex and playing bicycles in the woods with a bunch of other men wearing spandex?
