Default PF @ Rollercity - Colchester - 8th of November!!

Who would be up for a PF skate night at Rollerworld in Colchester?

They have a good bar there, play a good selection of cheesy tunes, and would be quite a good laugh i think!

When I was a kid I fell over and a friends really fat dad tried to go over me and stood on my finger with the Ice Skate. I cried lots. Never again.

Sounds quite far from Yorkshire.

The last time I went roller skating was at Center Parcs, I enjoyed it but stopping wasn't easy.

I loved my old boots, Roces with bit fat Fat Pigs wheels i think they were called, 80quid bearings. them stupid socks which people used to put over them

No back stopper for me tho, we used to stop by makin a racket with the skiddin of the wheels. We used to think we were uber cool but in reality we looked like a bunch of twats

I even used to play for a Roller hockey team called The Wirral Pythons, used to go through a pair of boots every season, bauers mainly.

Ain't skated now for nearly 9-10 years since i become a fat cunt

hockey stopping was great.dont try and do it now though.you tend not to be able to 18 years down the line

mine still have the socks but they arent the big box ones

were the belair wheels the small wide ones?

My last set of blades bought from the states cost around 450, on top of that i got Alloy frames for the wheels etc. Didn't make me any better tho

Bearing in mind as it was new EVERYONE was watching, i flew up to it hit the ramp my feet went forward to quick, i landed right on me back and everyone laughed i was gutted. A little girl went next jumped perfect an made me look an even bigger knob head
