http://www.carousel-skate.com ... When the Dr. told my wife "I'll do everything I can to save him", I already had a burst appendix for 15 + hours! It was a struggle, taking a long time to recover. The Dr. told me that because I skated every week, my body was strong and helped a lot..
Then moving from So. Cal. to the Midwest, I dedicate this to the Carousel Skate Rink in Sioux Falls, South Dakota where I made all new friends and can still keep my health up.

They make me feel right at home, so I decided to make some videos that some of you may already have seen. (I fly and skate in the rink at the same time in a couple of them)

So still skating at 62, I really look forward to showing up on Wednesday nights for the fun, music, and exercise..

So in keeping with tradition, I have made this promotional video for the Rink.
2901 W 3rd St
Sioux Falls, SD 57104
(605) 332-7915

I hope you enjoy this and maybe see another side of me. Can you find me in the video?

Best regards and thanks for watching and subscribing.

Dave

  • Cool way to put it, that "skating saved your life"... I had a similar experience when I ruptured my intestine and docs took *5 months* of it slowly leaking before they agreed it was peritonitus just like I guessed in the first *week* of feeling crummy -- my survival attributed to how "generally" healthy and active I am. Talk about a long recovery... ugh!

  • I am happy they found yours too. Mine was leaking a long time, too, I guess. Wish they found it the first times, I went to have a pain in my side checked. Thanks for the comments.

  • Very nicely done Dave!

    I"m guessing this was done using that new *free* camcorder?

  • PS, I got a new HD camera for tonight, I'm going to try. LOL. I just cant seem to find a camera I really like.

  • Glad to hear it helped you :)

    Have never seen a skating rink around here in South Africa, though we spent many a night at a local Ice Rink. The local one closed down, so the nearest one is now uncomfortably far :(

  • Thanks kindly.

  • hehe top gear theme tune

  • hehe I remember when we had a rink like that.

  • i use to go to Carasel Skate all the time when I was little. Birthdays and school night skate sessions. One of my favorite places to go when I was little in Sioux Falls. I look at the other videos of rollerskating rinks and this one blows everyone out there, out of the water!

  • I haven't skated in almost thirty years but I think I may look into it again... Those lighted wheels look seriously cool.

  • Classical version, of the Top Gear theme!

  • Wow! That is a nice rink! The rink where i live sucks :(

    The floor is on a slight incline, and it's made up of tiles. The vibrations give you sore ankles. I stopped going their a long time ago.

  • The Allman Brothers - Jessica

    in the background.

  • thanks dave i use to skate and because you made this vid i think i'll dust off those old skates and get out there again!!!
