When I was in grade school, we went to the roller skate rink for our birthday parties. We'd roller skate around for hours and then the DJ ( who I am now filled with pity for) would proclaim that it was time for Couple's Skate. This DJanical proclamation would essentially clear the roller rink of all us libidoless third-graders. We'd sit on the sidelines eating red-rope licorice, playing Pac Man and waiting for Couple's Skate to end. Times sure have changed. These days, I won't go to the roller skate rink, because I want girls to like me.
But if I did still go roller skating, I'd make sure to take care of my roller skates. Because practicing proper maintenance is a surefire way to extend the life of your sporting goods. This practice saves money and makes a dent in landfill growth. Roller skate wheels are made of non-recyclable material, non-biodegradable materials. So make sure to take care of those skates!
