Zooming around the wooden oval rink to playful music with a kaleidoscope of colors illuminating room as we make a feeble attempt to defy gravity by holding on to friends and family. There are a lot of fond memories that come with roller skating.
This nostalgia was taken to a whole new level by the incredible roller skating content on TikTok. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, take a scroll through #RollerSkating.
We can relive our childhood memories, and aspire to be as awesome as TikTok skaters at one of Portland’s last remaining roller rinks.
