yes I had a pair of those, but they were sooo heavy on my feet they weren't comfortable to skate...instead I went to the roller rink and the Roller Disco at weekends.. and wore roller boots instead.. ...remember these old roller boots ?
Where did you keep the key? Favorite place to skate?

My first pair were like the picture the OP shows. I wore the key around my neck on a cord. I skated all the sidewalks in my neighborhood.
When I got a little older, I got a pair of white shoe skates and began going to the roller rink.

At the roller disco on a Saturday morning, they always played the latest chart music for everyone to skate to... but this one was a favourite at the time, and got everybody up skating and dancing.... and everytime I hear it to this day 55 years on, I think of those halcyonic roller skating days

Thanks Dolly! I hadn't seen this thread before.
I did start a thread about roller skating, a few years ago. If anyone wants to visit....
Everyone Loves to Rollerskate!
Yes, I loved mine! I used to go down the hill on it and what felt like high speed!
Later, I got my fancy white ones and like others, I went to the roller skating ring.
When my daughter was young, I would take her skating at the ring during the small children hours. They had disco balls and they listened to Michael Jackson while skating! She had the white skates too. That was so much fum!

She sang that song when I saw her in concert in Central Park in the 1970's. I had all of her albums on vinyl. She had a lot better songs on her albums. But I also loved this song too. Always loved her music.

I had similar roller skates then moved up to roller blades.

My roller skates would often come apart and Iād fall out and scrape my knees so I didnāt use them often.
I loved my roller blades though. I wore them at a base that had paved paths and would skate for hours and while I didnāt fall often, Iād wear knee and elbow pads just in case.

I grew up rollerskating at the rink, and especially remember going skating with my dad at the BIG rink on frequent Sunday afternoons, where we'd "dance".
The last time I was on rollerskates (reluctantly, for good reasons), was on the Daytona Beach boardwalk in 1980, where I fell, landed on my face, and broke my nose.
End of rollerskating.
