My most favorite thing to do in the summertime when I was young. Always had that skate key around my neck.

They were responsible for many a sprained ankle. Cheap and dangerous, but we we desperate for fun things to do back then.

I ride my bike, I rollerskate, don't drive no car. Don't go too fast but I go pretty far.
