There was a moment in time when life moved to a different beat, the rhythm of disco filled backyards, living rooms and car stereos with what felt like swirling colors and glitter, but mostly, it invaded roller rinks.
In the ‘70s, there was not a better pastime than going roller skating, in fact, it was way more than just a simple pastime, it became a lifestyle to many people, until it wasn’t just roller rinks, but people were roller skating anywhere.
Crowds gathered everywhere, and everyone from kids to adults rolled through the streets like it was an endless vacation, showing how fun, carefree and joyful the ‘70s were.
