Speed Skate

Speed Skate at Fountain Valley Skating Center on a Sunday Night. Most everyone was there and in rare form. The floor had just been redone and was shiney and grippy so the speed was outstanding.

Great video Chris,

Makes me Homesick, but I still skate every Wed Night here in South Dakota too, so I am motivated again when I see this. 5 Stars.

I think this is my favorite myself. When you watch and see all the little things going on, it is quite revealing. BTW, I go a kick out of that video where you had bad day and everything went wrong...I was howling! I have had those days!!!

One more thing. When you get down to a low amount of people, like 10, you remove one paddle and keep going till only one person is left and that is the winner.

If you stop forward motion or go backwards or get tagged you are out or if you decide to tag someone to hard (slap the hell out of them). The paddle were usually made out of rolled up newspaper that had been taped up. The paddles were about 12 inches long. Man I miss those days. You all should give it a try. I worked at the Skate Center in Smyrna, TN when I was younger. Best rink I have ever been to.

At random the dj would say drop the paddle and you had to drop the paddles and now you were being chased down. Ohh yea I forgot to mention that 4 cones were lined up down the middle of the floor. Everyone had to go around the 2 end cones. If you had the paddle you had the option of going between the two center cones to get after people on the other side of the floor.
