I was just there a week ago and I think I saw you. You had what looked like a video camera. Could you come back and videotape me skating and falling on my ass?
You know what? I think I saw you at Carousel Skate other day. I was wearing a red shirt and camouflage shorts. Did you have skates that light up? I think I saw you with what looked like your camera?
i go skating every saturday nite 7-10 its so fun!!!!! i will be wearing a black baby doll top quad skates jeans i scream alot so you may know me!!!!!!! 12-19-09
Sorry, NightFlyyer, my left foot has been bothering me alot lately. I just went to the doctor last week and he told me to stay off it for awhile. So now you know what I've been up to. Thank You.
@NIghtFlyyer: It was just too damn cold and plus I have no way of getting home afterwards. Sorry but I plan to come there when I have the money and time.
Hey NightFlyyer what's going on? I haven't been to Carousel Skate in a long time. I know I was going to go there when I said I would but you know what? No car. So I have to frickin walk or take the damn bus. Thank You.
I don't have a license to drive one nor do I have the money to buy one. I would like to buy a used one versus a new one. What do you think? Thank You.
omg i love this place i go every singel friday(like this friday) and the people r awesome sooo the music i freak out the whole week tell friday cuz i cant wait to go...btw the song to this video reminds me of one of my fav movies role bounce!!!!
I love this place I used to go every wednesday night whenI was in school. it was $3 to get in back in the mid 90's-2000. I remember rolling the dice winning prizes, and having birthday parties there too. Back than i also remember that you could request a song, too and they would try to play it for you. :) Fun Times. :)
i live in harrisburg, and i agree. wednesday nights are the best. i've never really been to any other skating rinks so i cant say its the best. but i can guarentee you its fun :]
God I love watching the older folk skate! Now that is JAMMING! That guy is good! I am an old Rink Rat and STILL LOVE TO JAM! 42 years old and show my kids up everytime I go skating!.LOL. .FUN FUN! I want to move where this rink is it looks GREAT!
This definitely is the BEST skaterink I've ever been to. I've *unfortunately* lived in several states and have not yet found one anywhere near compareable. Sadly, I have not been here in nearly 18 years, but I am glad to see that it has barely changed at all. I look forward to moving back to Sioux Falls.
Get your wheels a rollin at carousel skate! I used to go all the time, I like Wed. nights the best it's not so packed on those nights, and better music is played on wed. nights too! Fun place I would recommend it to anyone who likes to skate.
i love going there but i can't go on wed because im in 7th grade. i love that place whenever we had our school thingmbob there when i was in grade school, we always tried to ghet the teachers to skate. i play hockey so i love that place i haven't been there since 5th grade i might go there this summer with a cupple friends though.
Good for you. Go to the Fountain valley skate. I have lots of friends there too. See the response video just under this video for more on that one, if you like. I lived in San Juan Capistrano, Ca for 50 years and came to Iowa to retire.
Hey NightFlyyer tell me what you look like. I'm Native American and young. I will look for you at Carousel Skate sometime. What nights are you at there?
I am Tall, older and have brown hair. I also have lights on my skates. I am usually there every Wednesday night and will be there this Wed too. Say hi.
Hey NightFlyyer how's it going? I have not been to Carousel Skate in such a long time. I think I'm too old to skate. I'm only 23 but do you think I could be skating with my friends?
it actually wasn't too busy...it was very unusual for a sat night. hey do you like go around to diffrent skating rinks and like put it on youtube or what?
Thanks. Occasionally I go around. I am friends with one of the fellows that was a skater in the movie ROLL BOUNCE. It was shot in Chicago at Sweetwater roller rink. I want to go there this spring and make a video.
haha i went there once in 02' or early 03' for a friends birthday party in 5th grade. I use to live in siouxfalls, which reminds me when i was younger in the 90s a friend of mine had a party at a dumb place called "giggle bees" is that place even still around? lol i was up there not to long ago and wow sioux falls has changed alot!
Haha, I wish. I don't live in Sioux Falls anymore. :( and i'm not 18 yet, so they probably wouldnt let me skate. Eventually i'll be up siouxfalls this summer most likely.
Nice to see a town take pride in their rink. Up here in Canada (Winnipeg), we take pride in shutting down rinks like this. We then come up with lame political excuses on why we did so.
I skate on Wed nights, as Fridays are really crowded. Hope you come Wed. I am doing a flying demo on Saturday at the Active Center for Generatons from 8 to 11 also, so I have to make plenty of driving trips into Sioux Falls next week.
i love carousel skate. i go there many times throughout the year. and i'm pretty sure my 2nd thru 17th birthday parties were all there if memory serves. my 18th will be no different. lol its a great environment to be. sometimes its smashed w/ people who are reall- jerks, but there are even more people there willing to defend people too.
Hey! Nice rink! If you haven't done so you should come and check out the one in Sandy, Utah! It's called Classic Fun Center, originally Classic Skating, and the place is awsome! You can visit our website at classicskatingdotcom or just ask me for more info. I hightly suggest it to anyone who's takin a trip to Utah! Great vid!
I lived in Sioux falls for 5 and 1/2 years and I skated at The Carousel but, that doesn't take away the corruption on the local level in Sioux Falls and South Dakota. South Dakota Sucks!!
tight! i havnt been there since grade school, i live just south of town on 85th street, damn sioux falls is growin i used to live 5 or 6 miles out now auburn hills is right next door! no more huntin :(
I took my girls, Karen and Anna, as often as we could. We moved to Denver in '93 ... I forgot how much I miss that place! Chris and Anne are good folks, -next time I get to SF I'm gonna have to go visit (and SKATE!) Tom
i remember going there for feild trips in elementary...hahaha i remember this dice game that i'd always lose at. i also remember getting cocky with kids i didn't know an racing them around the rink. oh the joy of youth
my daughter and I skated religiously 7 days a week for 6 years and then the rink closed because the owner's daughter passed away from cancer. Boy was that a double shock. We have since moved to another state and have found another rink. Gotta skate!
Hi Retroforever, it IS the original wood floor! It is coated with an Acrylic polymer however (as many rink owners have chosen to do. So ride and smoothness is fine and not as slippery as maple. BTW, just having a good floor is not the only thing that makes a good rink. There are other factors.
The floor has skating circle patterns on the floor and is the original wooden floor, which gets sanded and refinished every year. No built up layers, so it's very nice skating.
Thanks for the video, brings back lots of memories. Chris, Anne and their family are the best! It doesn't surprise me their facility is rated a 10, they have always been first class people.
Your welcome Delaypat. Get those skates on and come on down. Skate for life. It is healthy and fun and a great place for Skating. Are you near here or is there a rink near you?
Can't watch this without thinking of the movie "Roll Bounce".
