Roller Skating

  • Roller Skating

  • Roller skating (particularly roller disco) was one of my first major performative physical activities and a key social outlet during the 1980s.
  • This scene was also shared by Bill Harp, who worked as a DJ at Hillsboro Skate World, anchoring a shared community that blended rollerskating, performance, and music.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
