You should consider it an honor to have worked 30 years with the same company. Yeah, that’s true. You know how many people wish they were in your shoes right about now? You’ve accomplished some great things in life, and I know there’s more to come. Thank you for the encouragement.
You know, I needed to hear that. Yes. Thank you, sweetheart. Okay. I just want to make sure you were okay Okay. I’m okay. I’m okay. Oh, sweetheart. By the way, what you call me for? Husband of mine Don’t tell me you forgot, baby. Remember, we’re going over to your brother
That’s not tonight, is it? Yes, it’s tonight. And we can’t cancel because your brother catered, just for this event. So. Listen, you know I love my brother right? But I can’t stand him. And my sister in law’s Donald Trump conspiracy bull crap.
Its been months now and they still think the election was stolen from them. Well, it don’t even matter right about now because Trump is no longer in office. Besides the Democrats ain’t no better, They be lying to the people. Can’t trust none of them if you ask me.
Stacy Betty Harrison, please don’t tell me you done turned confederate on me too. A last I checked, Confederates lost the war and I never lose. You sure don’t. So go ahead get dressed. All right babe, all right. How in the world he’s going to forget about his brother’s thing? Bruce. Dinner was amazing. Yeah, it really was tasty Who cooked? Oh, we didn’t cook, we got it catered Through a good friend of ours. Well, you know, he used to cater at the White House for our president before he left office. Such a shameful thing they did to such a wonderful man.
Ummm, what shameful thing are you referring too? Trump in his MAGA followers almost starting a civil war, storming the U.S. Capitol that shameful thing? Wait a minute now, Don’t let the media fool you. Now Trump was just giving a peaceful rally when Antifa and BLM stormed the Capitol, making it look like us
MAGA folks that’s right. You tell him, baby. It was a very peaceful and respectful gathering. Yes. Oh, so I guess you two were there that day. No comment. I guess not. We see your love for Trump hasn’t changed a bit since the last time we was over here.
You’ve got to be crazy if you think Black Lives Matter. Had anything to do with that riot at the capitol. Now, wait a minute. Do you think we would joke about something like that? Now Trump was making America great for all people and since the presidency was stolen from him
I don’t know what’s going to happen to this country moving forward. Since when is America ever been great for black people? We’ve been climbing an uphill battle since we’ve been in this nation. Any greatness in our community came from our own blood, sweat and tears. That’s what made it happen for us.
Make America Great Again was not a statement necessarily meant for our people, if you know what I mean. Sweetheart, Sweetheart, please. Not tonight. Naw, naw baby. He started it. I want to know, when was America ever great for our people? I understand. I understand. But we are here to celebrate Anthony’s retirement.
Please don’t make this a political debate. You’re right. I totally agree. Because these conversations, they never end well. I agree with you. Yes. So shall we move forward? Karen, I love what you guys have done with the place. It’s very um, uh interesting. So you don’t like what you see?
I didn’t say that. I’m just saying it’s interesting. See, this is a problem I have with you people, Karen, What do you mean, you people? You Democrats, of course. What do you think I meant? Listen, that y’all should know that Trump has done
For the black community than any other president has ever had. That’s true. So you want to try to tell me that Trump has done more than Lyndon Johnson and Barack Obama combined. Huh? So enlighten us. How much has Trump done for black America again? Well, Trump created new policies
In the prison reform bill that helped a lot of your people. Oh, yes. She keeps saying your people. We are the same people, for crying out loud. Now, I know your name is Karen, but you got a black man, so you should be able to relate to something color. Nobody takes us seriously. America has gotten worse since he left office. Mm hmm. Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. Did Trump take Heather Heyer’s life seriously when she was killed by white supremacists? Or how about Colin Kaepernick when he took a knee for police brutality?
He was more like them son of a… Girl, watch your mouth. The last time I checked we didn’t hear anything from him concerning Black Lives Matter when he was in office. And you know what? I think that you should be happy that the first woman of color was elected as our vice president.
Now, that’s making this country greater than it’s ever been before because the country is moving forward, not backwards. Well, on a personal note, Trump believes that all lives matter. All lives matter! Some people never get it. Ain’t that the truth? ♪ Do you wanna ride with me? ♪
♪ Come and take this drive with me. Ride with me ♪ ♪ Do you wanna ride? ♪ ♪ Come and take this drive with me. Ride with me ♪ Oh, that was interesting. Yeah, it always is. And, you know, that’s exactly why I didn’t want to come tonight. I know. Exactly.
Thank you for going. You know, family will be family and sometimes all we can do is just. Pray for them. Amen to that. Right? Yeah. But, you know, I’ve been wanting to talk to you about your life going forward.
I know you and you are not going to sit in that house all day. So why do I feel a pep talk coming on right now? Because it is. No, seriously. I just want you to just think about the vision God gave you years ago. What vision would that be? You know.
Oh, the one about you opening up you own roller skating school You’re funny. You can’t be serious. Oh, okay. Oh, you are serious? Yes, as serious. As the day I was born. But no. Hear me out With coronavirus… people losing their job, Racial tension on the rise.
We’re slowly losing a lot of our young folk to the street. Not only that, but the gentrification happening all throughout the DMV. We’re slowly losing the love of our culture. Mmm, hmmm Lord knows they tried to mute Go-Go music, but the people spoke up and said no. That’s true.
But seriously, I want you to just realize your dream. You know, God gave you this vision a long time ago. How do you know if it’s not for today or for a time such as this? So just pray about it, okay Okay, baby. I will. Yeah. There you go. There you go. Oh, you got to spin in it. I love it. Cool, I knew you could do it son. Told you I got this. So what’s the next move? What’s the next move? Can we just sit down and talk for a second? Ok. I’m old, man.
I can’t be sitting out here skating all day long. So what’s up Dad? Anthony, I just want to talk to you because you officially about to be in high school this year. How do you feel about that? Well, I’m excited and I’m ready. You ready for what? The school work or the girls?
Well, since you mentioned it. No, I’m just playing. I’m ready to move forward in my education. Okay. And then the girls. And then the girls, of course. Listen, Anthony, I just want to say this to you,
Me and your mom’s raised you to know that leaders lead from the front and not the back. Okay? Dad, I got you. I love you. You wanna work on some more moves? Yeah. Alright, let’s do it. Hey, Granddaddy. Hey, Breonna. Hi Mr. Harrison Hello, Casey And Breonna What did I tell you about calling me the G word? Sorry about that, Papa. Like that sounds any better. But granddad sounds a bit old for me. You know, I still got a lot of life to live. You know what I mean?
I get it. Yeah. So, what are you guys up to today? Nothing much. Just hanging out at the mall. Oh, yeah. I can’t wait. It’s been so long, I felt like I was stuck in that house forever. Papa can we use your car to go to the mall? I knew there was something.
I knew there was something in your eyes. Okay, if I let you use the car. What am I supposed to use? You like to skate, right? Has the same amount of wheels. Real funny. Real funny. Well, I tell you what. I will allow you to use the car.
You guys have to be… wait a minute you guys got to be really careful. Look at you. All giddy. Be careful. We will. Hi Mrs. Harrison, bye Mrs. Harrison Hi Grandma, hi sweetheart, bye grandma Where y’all going? Oh, those kids are always in a rush. Yeah, baby, they always are.
So, what are you working on? Well, you know, baby I’ve been giving it a whole lot of thought. And you’re right. I need to step out on faith and follow through with the vision God gave me years ago. To Yahweh be the glory.
I knew you could do it. And I know it’s going to be successful. So what’s the plan? Well look, I got a friend of mine who happens to own a skating rink. Mm hmm. And he and I have an appointment later on this afternoon, So I’m going to meet up with him.
Faith without works is what? It’s Dead. Dead That’s right. So, come on. Let me see what you doing. Let me help you. Alright, so put your cursor in this cell right there, okay. Mm hmm. And where’s your wedding ring? My wedding ring? Mm hmmm I left it at Susie’s house
I still cannot believe your granddad gave you the keys to his car. Yeah, my grandfather’s the best. Yeah. Here we go. Girl, I cannot wait till we get to this mall Oh, my God. My brother, My brother. It is good to see you, man. How you doing? Yes, sir. Yes, sir, If it ain’t the the one and only Keith Newton. Yeah, man. How you been? How you been, man? All is good, Keith. All is well, man.
You still looking good for a old man, that is. Thank you. Thank you. And who is this cutie pie you got with you? Yeah, man. This is my granddaughter, Aliyah. Aliyah, say hi to my friend Anthony Can we go now? You said this wouldn’t take long. Oh, let’s walk inside. Let’s talk, man.
All right, So tell me, man, what you been up to? Oh, man, I got 50 kids now. Have you been having a good time with ‘em? I’ve been having a good time every day of the week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand. Man, this place sure has changed since we were kids.
Yeah, I know, man. Remember when we used to skate on those metal skates on the sidewalk? Yeah, I remember that. Sparks flying everywhere we went. What was it again? They used to call us back in the day. The Firework Gang. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I missed those days.
Those were the days. Yes, sir. So tell me man, how’s retirement working out for you? I mean, I know it’s only been a week, but tell me, how are you feeling about things? Retirement’s going well. That’s not the issue. The issue is where do I go from here? Okay. What’s up, my brother?
You know I got you 100%. I’m glad to hear you say that, because I’m going to need you skating rink to start skate classes. Skating classes? Yes, man. I thought you was going to ask me for some money to open up a donut shop or something.
Ooh, can I be your first customer at your donut shop? But hold up. Hold up a donut shop. Why the heck would I want to open up a donut shop? You got something against donuts? Yes. First of all, you know, I eat healthy.
But the point is, look, I’m not trying to start a donut shop, so let’s drop that. I’m trying to start a skating class. My brother, my brother, my brother, a skating class? There’s no money in it for me. There’s no money in it for you. Now, listen to this. Imagine this.
A donut shop, man. Keith and friends. Now, man, that’s golden. You know what, man? You know what? You ain’t changed. Not one bit. You still the same. It’s not even about the money. It’s not even about the money at all. Okay. And please drop the donut shop stuff for a minute.
I’m trying to start a skating class. Huh? I thought you had my back? You tell me you really serious about this, huh? This is a dream I got to fulfill. Alright, my brother. I tell you what, my house is your house Alright. With 25%, Of course. Okay. Okay. That’s reasonable. You know what?
I wouldn’t have it any way other than that. It’s a perfect deal. Good job, good job. I’m so proud of the young folks. Hey, hey, watch where you going! What’s wrong with you? Man, old man, you need to get off the floor. Especially if you see us coming. Old man. Who you calling old man? See, that’s the problem with you young folks today.
You have no respect for your elders. Oh, we have respect for our elders. When they move their wheelchair off the side of the floor and over to the side of the rink. If you can’t keep up with the times, old man, you need to get off the floor.
What’s going on? What’s going on? JaJa I told you, if I have any more problems out you and your crew I’m putting all y’all out of here for two months. It ain’t even no problem. No problem Mr. Keith, we just had a little misunderstanding With the Senior Citizens. That’s, that’s all that is
Keith, Keith, the problem Is this, these rookies right here think I’m too old to be on your skate floor You guys don’t even know, you’re talking to a legend here, you hear me? Oh, you’re a legend? Since you’re a legend. How come I ain’t never heard of you? Who are you?
You don’t need to know who I am, huh? That’s right. You all don’t need to know that information. All you guys need to know is that his crew will smash your crew. Tuh your crew gone smash our crew? Where is your crew at? Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. I don’t. I don’t have. That’s right. Like I said, smash your crew. Sound like a challenge to me. Huh boys? Hold on, listen. Challenge accepted. Keith, hold on Let me talk to you for a minute. Alright, Keith, listen, I appreciate what you’re trying to do,
But I’m not ready to battle these young kids, man. I’m not ready. Listen, somebody need to put these young punks in their place. And what better time to do it than to do it right now? You’ve got a point. But there’s only one problem. What’s that?
I don’t have a crew to battle with. Are you crazy man? Don’t worry about that. I know where all the old crew lives. You may know where they live, but you don’t know if they’re still skating or let alone ready to battle some young kids.
Listen, listen, listen Skating is just like riding a bike, bro. Once you learn it, you never forget it. Besides, they all owe me favors. So listen, don’t worry about it. We good. I got this. Listen. Hey you two lovebirds y’all going to accept our challenge,
Or y’all going to continue painting each other’s nails all day. Oh, yeah. It’s on now. So where do we start? Let’s start with getting Chris. Okay, okay, great. You know what? He was just at my retirement party. Yeah, He owns auto repair shop over in Capitol Heights. Oh, okay. You know what?
I think he would be down for the cause too. Mmm hmm No, no, no, no. Man, heck naw! Y’all trying to get the crew back together after all this time to battle some disrespectful youngins’. Who cares about that? Not me. No. I thought the idea was crazy myself until these kids disrespected me right in my face. Yeah, man.
I mean, these kids are crazy disrespectful. I mean, they are getting out of hand, and somebody’s got to do something about it, bro. You’re right. Somebody needs to do something about these youngins’. But guess what, fellas? We ain’t the crew to do that. Besides, we haven’t skated together in over 25 years,
And I don’t have the chops for that no more. Man, I tell you, this man. It’s too bad you ain’t trying to battle these kids with us man. Especially what they said about your mama. They were talking about my mother? Mmm hmm God rest her soul. What they say about my mother?
They said, your mama is so ugly Till when she had you, you wouldn’t cry. But as soon as the doctor showed you her face, you started screaming. They said that about my mother. Yeah, man count me in. That’s what I’m talking about Yeah. That’s one down, two more to go.
But tell me, do you think Brenda is going to be down with us? Of course she’ll be down with us 100%, but if not. I have a little something up my sleeve, Oh, okay. Well, whatever you say. Wait right here y’all I’ll be right back. Come on baby, we’re late. Y’all keep working
I know why y’all here. Chris already told me. Man You guys are crazy. Who in God’s name thought of this foolishness? Look, we don’t matter who thought of it. All I’m saying is it’s a dumb idea. Ain’t no way in a million years am I going to be battling again on wheels.
It’s ludicrous. It’s ridiculous. And look, it’s a no for me, fellas. Listen, Brenda, we understand. I mean, we really do, but, you know, I’m gonna need the money back that you owe me, Especially if we going to do this crew thing without you. What money?
You know, that $40,000 that I loaned you when you first started this business. You gave me that money as your friend. No, that was a loan. But listen, you know me. I’m a reasonable man. Hey, we could work something out here. Ohh, you dirty Dog! But, I like that. Okay,
Count me in. Alright. Alright. Okay, so we got Chris and we got Brenda. So what do you think our chances are in getting Pam back on the squad? Oh, I think they’re pretty good. But I must warn you, Pam’s a little rough around the edges these days. Rough around the edges?
What’s that mean? Oh. You’ll see. Get the heck out of my house and don’t you come back any more! Pam, what are you doing? You know how much I paid for these clothes Correction, how much I paid for these clothes. You ain’t got no job. Pam, when I’m gone, I’m gone Pam!
Do you think that I care? You take a number and you get in line. This is my shirt from Kmart Kmart, Kmart, Kmart!!!! What are y’all looking at? Throwing away my clothes from Kmart! And by the way! Nope, Nope! Anthony, Keith, you wasting your time. Coming down here.
I am not down for no midlife crisis. Showdown with some nappy headed kids, so you might as well turn around and go home. The answer is no. How does she know? Chris! Yeah, that’s right. Chris called me about an hour ago and I’m.
I tell you the same thing I told him the answer is no. Do you have anything on Pam that we can use to persuade her to get on the team? Yeah, man. It’s you! Me? I don’t understand. Y’all were best friends at one time. Look, if she gone listen to anybody, it’s you.
So go ahead and talk to her, man. I’ll give it a shot Pam, can I talk to you for a minute? Sure. As long as it’s not about skating. Okay? It is about skating, but it’s about a lot more than skating, Pam. You know, we used to be the best of friends.
What happened? You mean we were best friends, Anthony? Yes, we were the best of friends until I got married and we drifted apart. No, Anthony, we didn’t drift apart. You left me just like you left the crew. We were like brother and sister. I didn’t understand it
Then, and I don’t understand it now. That hurt me. I understand Pam, listen, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I apologize if I hurt you, okay? But I didn’t know getting married would change my life the way it did. And once my daughter was born,
I was a brand new person, And I was responsible for a whole family. But I thought I was your family, too, Anthony. You are my family. That’s why I’m here. I need you. I need you. Well. What is family for If we can’t forgive each other. Thank you Pam, thank you.

It’s like the moves are stuck in my head And my body’s telling me no. Well, I’ll put it this way. I hurt all over my body. I don’t ever remember ever feeling pain like this before. Well, y’all know what the old saying is right? No pain, no money.
I thought it was no pain no gain? Gain is money to me. It’s the same thing. It is always about money, with you. What we need to do is concentrate on these kids. That’s what we need to be doing. Right?
You all remember when we used to skate Kalorama in DC back in the day? Oh, yeah. With the holes in the floor that we used to have to skate around. Oh, I forgot all about those holes. Keith Didn’t you fall in one of them? No, that wasn’t me.
I was to busy being smooth around the ladies. It must have been Anthony who fell. No, it wasn’t me, it wasn’t me. Hey, what about Alexandria skating rink? Remember that? Yeah. We used to go over to the grocery store across the street. We used to grab the candy and run out.
None of us had any money to pay for it. Wow. Where did the time go? I’m not going to lie to you all. I’m so glad we got back together. Even if it’s for one last time. Me too. Yeah, me too. Me too. What the heck? Me too. Yeah, that’s what’s up. Yeah.
And by the way, Anthony already made up a name for our crew Old School Rollers? I like. It. Yeah, I like it, too. What do you think, Chris? Well, I feel old, so I think it fits me at least. You ain’t the only one.
I hear my bones cracking every time I sit down and try to stand back up again. No. I don’t like it. I love it. Yeah, it’s official. We are the Old School Rollers. Let’s put it in y’all. You know what to do. On three. One, Two, Three Old School Rollers!
Okay, Papa, we need to get started. If you guys are planning on beating JaJa and his crew, you guys’ image and followers are going to be important. So we have to get your followers up on your social media platforms. What social media platforms, we don’t have any.
Casey and I have already set up a couple of platforms. We have 250 followers on Instagram and 175 friends on Facebook. But we’re going to need more than that. How much more you need than that? A whole lot more. Oh, wow. Okay. First, we need great photos, especially for Instagram.
We, the younger generation, love what we see more than what we hear sometimes. That’s true. And then we need to spread the word. We can do promotional videos and we can do various interviews with online bloggers. Yes. If we get the bloggers talking about us, then that’ll be a huge plus.
Ladies and gentlemen. It’s an old fashion skate battle. That’s right. No ordinary skate battle. This is new school versus old school. So we’re going to take you on site now with a reporter, Lisa Miles, who’s going to be with one of our skaters that’s going to be participating in this local event. Lisa.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is your girl, Lisa, and we’re at the one and only Skate Palace. And I have with me here Anthony Harrison, who’s going to tell us a little bit about this skate battle. The battle consists of the youth versus the seniors.
And we’re hoping that we can bring the community together. So do you think your skate crew, the quote unquote, seniors can handle those active youth? Yeah. You know, we haven’t skated a number of years, but I think we’re ready. I think we can pull it off.
So what’s the name of your skate crew so we can cheer you on? Old School Rollers. Okay. So the Old School Rollers versus the youth are here for a skate challenge. This is Lisa. You do not want to miss this event, peace. Oh, also, we’ll need some hot merch.
Uh, what’s hot merch? I don’t even know what that is. Hot merchandise. Oh merchandise, Okay. Okay. Young people love keeping up with the latest trend, So if you don’t have any merch, then people might not take you seriously. And finally, we’ll need a hype theme song and something That says we’re back
We’re serious and we’re ready. Okay, I like that. And I know just the person who can make that happen for us. All right, Give them a call. Let’s do it. Okay, ♪ Go, Go, Go, Go!

And we hope that it will bridge the gap between the two and reconnect our neighborhoods. Okay, so who came up with this idea to put the old with the new to remix it and all of that? Well my grandfather Anthony came up with the idea
And his roller skating team is called Old School Rollers. We just want to bring a sense of unity within our community. We need stuff like this to bring us together. So I’m so glad you’re doing this. So where is this happening at?

My mother passed away a few years ago. Man. I’m sorry to hear that. She was such a nice person. Yeah, thanks. What’s up Dad. Where you been at? How you been? Just been hanging son. What’s up? What you’ve been up to? It’s a skating competition next week. Think you can pull through?
You still doing that stupid stuff? What you need to be doing is working a real job, making some real money. Give up those skating dreams, man. Hold on, Larry. How are you going to put your son down like that? That’s not cool, bro.
I’m trying to teach my son how to be a man and give up those stupid pipe dreams. Man, you wasn’t there for me when I was growing up. You weren’t there for me when I needed a father. He wasn’t even there for me. When I buried my mother.
Man, to think you gone be here now! Man, you’re a loser. You call me. Wait a minute. Larry. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you’re dead wrong my brother. So now you’re going to teach me how to raise my son.
Larry, you can’t be a father to somebody you ain’t never been there for. The streets my father. I’m out! Man, tough guy. You need to fix it. Ummm, he’ll be alright. Hey, fellas. How’s it going? What’s up? Hey Larry, can I have a word with you? It will be real quick. Yeah, that’s cool. I’ll be right back. You know who I am? Yeah, I’ve seen you around. You know, me and your dad, were good friends We grew up together.
We even went to high school together. Okay, that’s cool. I really didn’t know my dad like that growing up. Yeah, I know, I know. But, you know, that’s not why I came to talk to you today. Damn baby, you’re looking good! What are you doing later? I’m trying to do you.
Can I get your attention? This sort of is sort of important. My bad, what’s up? But you didn’t see all of that though? This is important. Is more important. I didn’t come to talk to you about women. I came to talk to you about JaJa. You know, earlier today,
I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but I overheard a conversation. And you know what? You know what? You sound just like your dad. Whoa, whoa man. How dare you come over here and compare me to that bum of a dad? My dad was the worst thing growing up. You can cut that short, brother.
Look, I’m not trying to start trouble. All I want to say is, how do you think JaJa feels about you? Because, you know, there is this generational curse that’s going on in your family right now. Your dad wasn’t there for you, and Lord knows you’re not there for JaJa.
And if you don’t break the cycle, JaJa is not going to be there for his kids either. Do you have a point to all this? I have some way to go, brother. You know, it would mean a lot to JaJa if his father would come out and support his skating event.
I done told JaJa I’m not going to no stupid skating rink. So you can drop that. Tell me what sounds more stupid. Okay. You not coming out to support your son who’s going to be doing something great and wonderful, or you losing your son
To the streets because that’s the direction he’s going in right now. Listen, listen, all I’m saying is it’s up to you to break the cycle, okay? And you can start by showing up at your son’s event. That’s all I’m saying to you brother. That’s it. All right. Yeah, I’ll think about it. Okay.
Thank you. Hey, thanks for spending time with me today. You know, I really do enjoy these moments with you Breonna. I enjoy them, too. Oh, wow. I can’t believe it’s already been two months. Time has really gone by fast. Time really flew by.
You think your grandfather and his crew are going to be ready For tomorrow’s battle? I hope so. They’ve been working really hard. No. Yeah, they’ll be ready. I have nothing but confidence in my grandfather’s crew. Well, I can’t wait. I’ll be watching it online.
I was hoping you would come be there with me in person. It’d be an honor to be your date. As a matter of fact, it’d be an honor to be more than just friends. Really? Yes, really. I thought we were already more than just friends. Good day, everyone. I’m Camilla Gordon, and welcome to outreach news. We first reported this story two months ago and tonight is the main event. Many people are already lined up to see the Old School Rollers versus the Black Out Crew, an old fashion skate battle. Once again on site.

I believe in every single one of you with all my heart and soul. Okay, so let’s go out there. Let’s get the job done. But most important, let’s have some fun. Yeah. I can’t believe we are here right now.
Anthony, Keith, thank you for just believing in us that we can do this again. When we started this journey. I thought this was the stupidest thing ever, but now I know it was the best thing that could happen for me. Oh, we can do all things if we just believe.
You two knuckleheads pulled me off my good paying job to follow what I thought was some fantasy. I couldn’t be more wrong. Hmm. This wasn’t a fantasy. This was a vision. And I am so glad to be a part of this vision. Now, I’m ready to kick some young folks behinds.
After 25 years When Anthony walked into my skating rink, I knew it was a divine setup. I mean, I knew it was straight from above. And you know What does the Word say? If Yahweh be for you, who can be against you? Listen y’all, this is our time, Anthony. This is your time.
Let’s count it in y’all, Let’s count it in on three. One, two, three, Old School Rollers! Man, you wasn’t there for me when I was growing up. You weren’t there for me when I needed a father. You wasn’t even there for me. When I buried my mother. Man, you’re a loser!
What you call me? Wait a minute. Do you know who I am? Yeah. I seen you around. You know what? You sound just like your dad. Oh, how dare you come over here and compare me to that bum of a dad! You losing your son to the streets
Because that’s the direction he’s going in right now. Hold up fellas! I got to get out of here man. I got to get out of here. My son skating tonight at the skating rink. I got to get out of here and support him. That’s what’s up. I’m going with you. Take it easy.
Okay, so this is how it’s going to be done. We’re going to do a coin toss, and whoever wins goes first. Okay. You ready for his beat down, old man? I’m ready to give that beat down, if that’s what you’re talking about. That’s right. That’s right, man.
We ready to crush Y’all and become the next legends. Only one problem with that to become a legend You have to beat the legend. You need to learn that lesson first. Oh, whatever old man. Okay, JaJa, what do you call? We got tails. Tails. Heads, Old School Rollers win.
We’re going to let them go first. It don’t matter if we’re first or last. Your team is done. Cut out all the talking and let’s battle. Yeah, yeah!!! Here we go with the first round. We want to do a little outside skating, and the audience is on fire tonight.
And it looks like the Blackout Crew is going to start with my main man, Razor. Yeah, they call them Razor because everything that he do is sharp. We like to also acknowledge our online audience. Remember, your votes will be tallied up at the end of each round. So get your vote in. It looks like my man Razor didn’t come to play tonight. I hope my old school rollers brought their A Game because they’re going to need it. Now that’s what you call a triple spin. And as you can see, the audience is showing the Blackout Crew a lot of love Now up
Next for the Old School Rollers, is my sister Brenda. Let’s see what kind of skills she brings to the floor. Now, I don’t know what’s going on with the Old School Rollers, but they gotta bring a lot more heat if they plan to win in this battle tonight. What’s going on Old School?
Up next for the Blackout Crew is Buck. And as you can see, the audience is giving him a lot of love. Now, that’s some serious footwork right there as Buck is demonstrating his skills. The Blackout Crew has taken no prisoners. They put in a whooping on the Old School Rollers,
But it’s only the first round and we got a lot of skating to go. I think the audience is making it very, very plain who they voting for so far. Up next is the Old School Rollers captain and that’s Anthony. Let’s see if he bring the fire tonight. So we see the audience is trying to cheer the Old School Rollers along. Hopefully they can feel some of their energy because they’ve been sleeping tonight. Up next is the captain for the Blackout Crew.
And they call him JaJa. And as you can see, JaJa comes straight to the floor. He’s ready to battle. It doesn’t look good for the Old School Rollers as these young cats are burning up the house tonight, JaJa and his crew are giving the Old School Rollers a good lesson tonight. Somebody need to check their pulse. Up next for the Old School Rollers is Pam. Let’s hope she can bring some heat to the floor because her teammates were dead cold. Now, Pam looks a little bit better than her teammates,
But it looks like she’s holding back as well. So far, it’s been a one sided battle as the Old School Rollers. Well, they’re looking old, but the audience is still trying show them some love Now, up next to the floor is Queen-T. She rules the floor wherever she goes.
I’m quite sure she got something very special for the Old School Rollers tonight, Wow! A flip over into a split. Queen-T is showing the Old School Rollers. Now this is how you battle. Up next is Chris from the Old School Rollers. Let’s see if he can bring the fire to the floor. Now did Chris come to chill, of did he come to battle?
Look like he’s holding back a little bit to me, But the audience is still cheering him on. Let’s see what happens later on. Ooh, man down, man down. Chris from the Old School Rollers hit the ground pretty hard. I hope he’s okay. And can continue for the next round. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are the judge tonight. And you have spoken the first round goes to the Blackout Crew! But the battle isn’t over yet. As we get set for the inside skating. Round two coming up next. Now, that was terrible, girl. Terrible ain’t the word. That was horrific.
Man, them young cats are kicking our butts out there. We can’t hang with them. We might as well give up right now. Man, I can’t believe what I’m hearing. You guys did look like crap out there the first round. That’s because you went out there playing it safe. Now, come on, y’all
Get y’all self together and get your heads out your behinds. And let’s do this. Let’s let them know why they call us the legends. You know what? Keith is right We have been playing it safe, that’s got to go out the window Ya’ll.
I’m up first this round, so I’m going to hit that floor with some fire. So anyone that comes after me, you need to be on fire, too. I think I sprained my ankle. I’m not going to be any help to you guys this next round. That’s all we need is another set back.
You guys ready for the next round? Ya’ll be back up in about 3 minutes. What’s up Dad? What are you doing here? I thought you said this whole skating thing was stupid. I did. But, I ain’t going to lie to you. I wasn’t going to come, but I talked to a wise man
And he showed me the light and he made me realize who I was as a man. Look son. I was a terrible father, man. I ain’t spend time with you Or your mom. I apologize for that. Look, watching you Out here tonight I seen a man
Who was born for this. You are an amazing I’m proud to call you my son. I love you. Thanks Dad. That’s all I wanted to hear you say. You’re the man. Ladies and gentlemen, as we get prepared for the second round, we’re going
To ask everyone to come to the center of the floor for the inside battle. Now, here we go with the second round. And I hope the Old School Rollers had time to rest because it was very obvious that they lost the first round. And due to injury, we now down to a three
On three battle as Anthony takes the floor. And from the looks of it, he’s not playing no games. He’s on fire. Man, the Blackout Crew got to put in some work after that performance. Up next, we bring JaJa to the floor. Let’s see what he has to offer Now I think the battle is really beginning. Things are starting to get a little hot. Woo! That was JaJa from the Blackout Crew.
Let’s see if the Old School Rollers can top that. Up next, we have Brenda, as she brings all the sassiness to the floor. Get them, Brenda. Now, Brenda has proven that age is nothing but a number. Boom. And now she’s moonwalking on ‘em. My goodness.
I don’t know what the Old School Rollers did at halftime, but they looking good. I think the audience has spoken that the Old School Rollers ain’t playing no games. Up next for the Blackout Crew we have Buck. Let’s see what skills he has to offer. Now, Buck had serious skills on the outside. But the inside skating, I don’t know. I think he’s out of his element. So let’s see. If Pam from the Old School Rollers can show them how it’s really done. Get him Pam. Yeah. Now there’s some old school skating skills right there.
Young folks don’t know nothing about that. Somebody grab the water hose because Pam is burning up the floor. My goodness. Up next for the Blackout Crew, we have Queen-T. Let’s see if she can redeem her team. Now, I must admit, the Queen is bringing it Get them Queen. Oh, no.
Is she taking it to Pam? It looks like the Queen is claiming her crown. Queen-T is showing the Old School Rollers. The youth know how to bring it just as well. Now, that second round was awesome. But you guys have spoken. And have given it to the Old School Rollers.
So now we’re about to have a one on one with the captains to settle the score. So it all comes down to this old man, me and you face to face. As it should be. But you know what? I hope you learned something from this. What would that be? Respect your elders.
You know, we have a lot to teach you if you would just listen. Just listen. It’s all about respect. That’s all I’m saying. You know, honey, I am so proud of you. You followed your dream, and no matter what happens tonight, we got this. You got this granddad. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we are now set for the final round between the Old School Rollers and the Blackout Crew. And coming to the stage. First we have Anthony. He’s going to hit the wood. You know. Not too many people can do that move. Young or old.
Now, that was pretty good to start this round for the Old School Rollers. Let’s see what JaJa can do from the Blackout Crew. From the looks of it, this battle’s going to go down to the wire. Is Anthony pushing the young cat off the floor? My goodness.
This is inside battle at it’s best. I think the Blackout Crew’s a little bit nervous as Anthony is tearing up the floor. Not to his face Now Anthony was on his A-game Let’s see what JaJa can do Ooh, is JaJa giving Anthony a taste of his own medicine? Watching you out here tonight,
I seen a man who was born for this You’re an Amazing Skater! I’m proud to call you my son! I Love You! Thanks, Dad. That’s all I wanted to hear you say. So, ladies and gentlemen, the votes are in. Because you guys have voted. And the winner of tonight’s battle is,
The Blackout Crew! Hold on everybody! Hold on everybody! Tonight When I came in here, I came in and prepared like I would for any other battle. Confident that I would crush my competition like a little bug. Well, I was totally wrong. Tonight, I got taught a lesson from a group of awesome people.
