viphitman Posted April 6, 2009 Author Posted April 6, 2009 some neat moves there, i cant even stand still with rollers on, never mind dancing If you Skate'n'Dance to a quite fast and frantic tune you may get away with it. Well, it does look a bit like the good shuffling style then! Mind you, dj'ing is a bit of a bugger I can tell you !!!
Guest SteveC Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Have to admit it does look good I'm astounded that I've never heard that track before!!!
Guest Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 skates should be worn everywhere! must dig mine out for next time I'm allowed to play out
macca Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Have to admit it does look good I'm astounded that I've never heard that track before!!! Me neither. It sounds like a Ric-Tic type thing. Who is it?
Guest SteveC Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Me neither. It sounds like a Ric-Tic type thing. Who is it? San Remo Golden Strings - Ric Tic m8
Guest SteveC Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Me neither. It sounds like a Ric-Tic type thing. Who is it? Just had a thought Macca......did you never go to the Wirrina on a Saturday night and don the foot wheels mate (not not The Phoenix do's)
macca Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) That was my much missed mucker Mark Draycott. He donned the skates & a witch's hat he found while rummaging in the dressing rooms upstairs and approached a bewildered brian rae and requested a record for me & my then girlfriend, it was probably around 6am. We cracked up, but a lot of people in there took it badly, due to the over ingestion of this and that, if you know what I mean. Edited April 7, 2009 by macca

ImberBoy Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Ooh this brings back painful memories! We had an old cinema in Hull that turned into an under eighteens disco on a Sunday called "Wally's". Hull's Northernsoul Boys and girls would frequently pop in as Northern was played, I remember Peggy Scott "You got it all" being played almost on a loop? Later Wally's was converted to a roller disco and my "Cool Crown" was taken from me as my skating ability was shat to say the least! Roller Disco took off for a couple of years but there was such a chasm between those who could skate and those, like me, who just looked like a spaz!

Rob Wigley Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Isn't there a Roller all-nighter in Derby ? (every month ?)
Madmandy Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Isn't there a Roller all-nighter in Derby ? (every month ?) I dunno Rob ..I used to ice skate at sutton centre or roller skate at the dukeries ( where I used to work) every saturday I can't do nighters (family commitments)
spirit Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Isn't there a Roller all-nighter in Derby ? (every month ?) There is or was skating at RollerWorld near Time Nightclub, which was itself a former occasional Nighter venue over the last couple of years. I used to go to RollerWorld as a kid to play roller hockey. I didn't know they did allnighters though. https://www.derbyrollerworld.co.uk/index/AllNightSkates Edited April 7, 2009 by spirit

Guest Scarborosoul Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I just wonder where Soul Sam learnt to roller like that?? Rick

Pete Eccles Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Isn't there a Roller all-nighter in Derby ? (every month ?) Yea right next door to Time all-nighter (or what was) and last year when I attended Time, I broke the night up by goin skating for an hour or so isnt like riding a bike though, was half decent back in the day, Mr Bean lookalike now,
Guest isis Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Wow..... thats my vid, first one I've made, didn't know it was up here. Was a bugger editing in the sound track ...the original was a shite jazz funk thing, got there purely by luck in the end. I'm trying to make unusual/funny vids with great northern tunes, so if anyone can point me in the direction of good footage I'd be very grateful.... in the meantime....here's one I prepared earlier "> Edited April 10, 2009 by isis
