I wouldn't call that fast backwards skating though. ![]() I had to laugh at that video when near the end some people fell and you can hear a guy say "you gonna learn today!" - LOL

These are better examples: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OBc5Mr5U_zo Melinium - I have skated here. Very friendly people and management. The floor could use some work but the atmosphere helps overcome that. Franklinville - I skater here 35 years ago. Clean and large with a great floor as I remember. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c37qIglq0MY The idea is to skate as close to the wall as possible all the way around. Multiple people skating together allows them to go faster (Train). It's heck on the first person at times has he/she can be pulling the group somewhat. At times the other skaters can push the first person but that can make the "train" look sloppy as it can get out of line. We back then would go faster than the videos.

I want to go to Millennium so bad. They have the best video of fast backwards I think I've seen so far. I can't tell how fast they are really going but its the fastest looking one I've been able to find.
A friend of mine and I were cranking it out last night backwards. Dude made a cut through some traffic that was unrealistic. I talked with him just after it and asked him" that was one of thise, you HAVE TO make it cuts wasn't it? Because your all out of options." He goes " YEA! haha it was intense" Another "wish I had a gopro" moment... EDIT: Heres a video from Eight Wheels 2013. Last songs opposite direction skate. At 1:18-1:22 you can see someone go floating backwards on the outside passing everyone. That maniac is my bro Scottie. That is fast backwards. Heres a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHRGKT-URSY

The style in the video is a roller skating style similar to the style used in ice skating (opposite of Rhythm skating). I'm not saying one style is better than the other - just different. Anyone care to comment on there observations?

I dont mean to imply that this video I linked is any kind of rhythm skating, or shuffle... at this point as everyone is preparing to leave for the most part. Just what I consider fast, the blur at 1:18-1:22 on the outside in what seems to be a gray shirt and blue jeans(scottie).
Rhythm and shuffle are close to each other, but to me a shuffle line will contain many different movements, close quarter skating and usually a fast pace. Rhythm is almost the same, the main difference is most if not all of the line is in synch with each other. Be it simple strides or advanced backwards close quarters skating. The footwork is almost identical. In some cases if its not identical skates bump and falls often follow.

Really (Elmwood) it's in Southwest Philly (Philadelphia). It is a small rink that is about 70 years old. It was a place that sported organ music back the day (before my time). In the late 60's - early 70's the organ music was replace by a DJ and eventually R&B music. It was the rink to attend in Philadelphia despite it's size. It's now owned by a person who was a security guard and floor guard for years. I haven't seen the place in 3 decades but I read that some think that it needs some work on its floor and facility. Others have said it is old school great.

The Palace is in Northeast Philadelphia (opposite side of the city compared to Elmwood). It is mainly a Shuffle skating rink. It is a decent size (close to double the size of Elmwood). It is on a large thoroughfare (US-1 / Roosevelt Blvd) on a commercial strip. It is clean. Pick your poison!!!

Note that his skates are JB classic, old school, high top and heals boot with a classic rear mounted, plate where the front axle is mounted under the ball of the foot! I watch this video frequently and it challenges me every time I see it! Cheers, Dan |

Personally I think that they would hinder serious footwork but the kids like them. Cheers, Dan |

JB/Rhythm/Groove/Roller Dance all involve intricate footwork that I find fascinating and challenging.

Thanks for sharing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiqEsKGbn6Q They are playing Funkorama (Eddie Harris). I think this is awesome, smooth and can fit into and Rhythm session at any rink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXx9-Uo0r4o I think this looks good because there are two skaters in sync. Alone nowhere as good as the first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVRYsR4IuXE I'm on my iPad so couldn't see this one.
