From Queen B To Usher this is the summer of roller skating Y’all make it look so easy it’s not hashtag roller skating racking up 7.9 billion views on Tick Tock alone that is no feeling like it every single skater they talk to will use the word Freedom Liberty’s father was behind the original flippers roller rink in Los Angeles in
The 70s and 80s now Liberty’s brought the legend back to life at flippers roller Boogie Palace at Rockefeller Center is roller skating cooler now than it’s ever been I think so roller skating in general is kind of like a fountain of youth we can all tap into that youthful
Side of ourselves and as much Glitz and Glam as you can find something Lena Davis knows a thing or two about said flippers in L.A everybody came dressed up all the time you would see Cher you would see some of the Temptations everybody was suited vested
Hats glitter bling bling as they call it but what about the actual skating Linda bringing in the pros Diva and Mika us how to skate like a star so when you’re doing that you’re kind of leaning on to the outside edge lifting up in the plantain five six seven eight
Until at long last we’re ready to roll Okay so flippers roller Boogie Palace is open seven days a week now through October then of course the ice rink will reopen so whether you’re going for the fun the fashion or the fitness one hour of moderate roller skating Burns 330 calories an hour people don’t be a hater be a skater
Um I don’t appreciate this PR okay I was getting backwards front words um how much ice did you need on your knees and and your bottom there the aspirin that I took afterwards yeah yes um the women were amazing they taught us so many things they’re professionals
Through and through uh this took me back to my Skate World days back in San Diego when you’re like 13 14 at the roller rink but it’s it’s so much fun and like they said this is an ageless sport for sure hi everyone George Stephanopoulos here thanks for checking out the ABC
