Beaverton Skate World
Beaverton Skate World
- A roller skating rink in Beaverton that operated as a sister facility to Hillsboro Skate World.
- I skated here on weekend nights during the early 1980s until the rink closed down, likely around 1983, after which I transitioned to skating exclusively at Hillsboro Skate World.
- This was the rink where I became more performative and started showing off:
- It began with goofing around and doing high-kicks to the song "Stroke Me".
- I expanded my skills to learn how to transition by jumping from forwards to backwards and back again, eventually showing off more than anyone else on the floor.
