Wow, I am an old skater from here in the UK and it breaks my heart to see a beautiful rink in such a state. It must really break yours.

@scoochysteve yeah it does big time. I always looked forward to going there on a Saturday night.

Wow I sure remember this place. I remember the square processed pizza and those drink machines that shot the grape and punch drink to the top of a clear container continually. I remember the benches, red and yellow, at least the yellow is in my mind now. I remember my early era had a person on the organ. I remember the feeling of taking off the skates and how weird it was to walk after skating all night. As teens my friends and I skated at Studio109 in North Babylon if I recall correctly.

That is i put them together as a tribute to a place that meant alot to me and my friends. I wish who ever took them would give me their names so I could give them the credit they deserve. I also wish someone could send me pictures of the place in its hayday

@GriffinMcNally - yes that's from warping. There were leaks in the ceiling. Geez, I skated there every weekend for at least 11 years. I took my now 14 year old niece when she was about 5 & taught her.

My heart hurts a little - thanks for the great video. I can smell the fresh polyurethane on the hard wood floors.

I only went here a few times but it's so sad to see this icon of Bay Shore gone. My parents moved to Bay Shore in Oct. of 1963 and I graduated from BS High in 1970. It's had its ups-N-downs, but it's still a great town.  I love it!!! I feel so blessed to have lived in Bay Shore. I go back as often as possible. Thank God I'm still living in Suffolk County.

Very sad, A bygone era I guess.

whats with the floor? I dont recall it being curved up like that....Perhaps its warping fropm water?

Great job capturing it before it was demolished. I still carry many scars from years of floorburn. Lots of great high school memories.

@Durdeeh I grew up on Oregon ave. I remember it all! The birthday party room, the square pizza, the drink machines. I have so many great memories and good times there as a kid. I was at a bunch of birthday parties there. It was a Bay Shore landmark, it was a disgrace to leave it sit there abonded for a decade. And a real eye sore. Broke my heart.

Wow i remember going there when i was like 4 and i had so much fun. ive never seen the inside since it was abondend. now i live like 4 blocks away from it on chicago ave. islip needs a place for bikers and skaters to go. someone should buy it and reopen it.
