What is the best music to listen to while roller skating?

Asked by keobooks (14322points) August 12th, 2013

I like disco, 70s and 80s pop and funk. How about you?

I used to roller skate a lot in the 60’s and 70’s. This is the first song that comes to mind.

I lived at the roller rink when I was a teenager.
I took my son roller skating when he was younger. I’d like to point out that roller skating IS NOT like riding a bike! I totally forgot how!! lol

@marinelife—I’ve learned that not all music is good for roller skating. There is a certain rhythm that works and other rhythms can trip you up. It’s also good if long strings of songs have the same tempo so you can skate a long time.

It’s just a fun question anyway.

I am the farthest thing from a fan of disco, but when my kids were small we took them to a roller rink, and when they played “On The Radio” by Donna Summer, I suddenly became a much better skater.

(Or, more accurately, this song made me FEEL like I knew what I was doing out there….)

I’m not a girl, obviously, and I don’t skate (not on rollers, anyway), but how could this one not be on the list? Better that you should just listen to the audio. She’s a pretty girl, but that video is so dated.

Crappy 90’s pop/quasi electronica. Ahhhh brings back memories of being 14 at the roller skating rink :P

As long as you like, anything can be and I suggest you that you can light music and some piano. Thanks!
