Skate Key in 1995 - Saturday Night in the Bronx, NY
- Thread starter Dynamite James
- Start date
I can only go but so fast and only forward and diagonal. And none of that fancy shyt. For one, because I can’t do it, and also because real men don’t twirl around. Take ya ass around the rink one time, then go get some nachos in the lil food area and get on them hoes. Leave the routines to them skating ass nikkas.
We came up here to look tough and cool, get on the hoes in the food area, and possibly fight. That was my skating rink experience growing up.

This shyt automatically made me skate better
And somebody momma done dropped y’all off
shyt used to go down though. That’s around the age nikkas ain’t really have no sense. Some shyt might pop off in the line outside waiting to get in them shyts. shyt always had a lil danger element to them. Buncha young nikkas trying to hard and shyt. Rolling deep as hell

Down in Texas we was on the same shyt at that time too. Used to be this place in my neighborhood called "The Solar Roller" where Saturday nights was always either the greatest or most terrifying night of your teenage life. Then came Sunday round 5-9 which seemed to be the "witching hours" in small town late 1980s and early to mid 1990s Texas. Great times tho, especially when the skate guys who been taking it wayyy too seriously since what seemed like the 70s would show up. They'd have custom skates, and be doing all types of routines. Ain't gonna lie, 10 yr old me was highly impressed, but by the time I was around 12 those guys seemed like a joke. It was also around 12-14 we realized all the real action was in the parking lot. That's where you get the girls.

I’m pretty sure Crystals here in PG was even more lit asf (and more dangerous asf) back in the 90’s too

by the mid/late 90s Skate Key turned itself into an endangered species with all of the fukkery. But it must have been a great place to chill and skate back in the 80s.
Venue like that attracted a lot of good but also a decent amount of bad elements and the random ass violence became a regular thing (basically a kiddy/teen version of what did Sin City in). But I miss those days when there would literally be artists performing at Skate Key. One time I went and wondered why no one was skating and it was because Ja Rule was about to do a set over on the stage area.
shyt, it wasn’t like I knew how skate anyway
Skate routines hit!!! Practicing and everyone on the same beat/foot. I miss it so much.

- Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
We had Empire Skating Ring in Brooklyn. Closed down due to violence. Every club on that block afterwards closed down due to bS. Now just a bunch of storage facilities
