Roller skate resurgence: How the bygone craze is making a big comeback outdoors

Usanewsposts
April 8, 20210

If there was ever a scene to put to rest doubt that roller skating is back, big time, it would be here on the open beachfront blacktop of Newport Elementary School on the Balboa Peninsula, where dozens of people show up on weekends and evenings to sharpen their skills on wheels.

It’s a scene playing out on beach boardwalks from Venice and Santa Monica down to the South Bay and Long Beach and at popular places such as the Huntington Beach Pier. With many indoor roller rinks closed during much of the pandemic, more roller skaters have been gliding into parking lots and parks throughout the region, even pushing boundaries on half pipes and empty pools at local skate parks.
