  • Skates on

    Ws just thinking ( dangerous I know! )..
    Late seventies and into the eighties there seemed to be skates on loads of films/progs - - -
    Rollerball .
    Then there was an episode of Charlies Angels where a similar but non-lethal version was played and the girls had to infiltrate one of the teams.
    Then we had an episode of Buck Rogers where the big entertainment was some couples spinning round on roller boots.
    Then there was some film (I can't remember title ) where these teenagers on another planet ran away from the tyrant controllers and skated about in the wastelands.
    Also roller disco's popped up all over the country and I think there was even like marathons but they wore skates instead of trainers

    Anyone else remember any of these or feel like adding to my list?

    I remember one of the Baseball Fury's in the Warriors had skates on as he entered the toilet backwards,also a waitress in American Graffiti at the diner wore them. I had a skateboard but a car destroyed it and I lost interest ,I then got a bmx, "rad man" I think the saying goes.

              Love the old pics of Butlins.

              Used to have a pair of skates i inherited off my sister, a metal pair that attached to the bottom of shoes. I was never any good at skating, should have had them on my backside
