Insta and iso driving ‘absolutely mad’ roller skating revival – The Age
No, you haven’t been transported back to the 1970s. Roller skates are making a comeback driven by viral videos of young skaters on social media.
Ana Coto, one of the new skating stars, has more than two million followers on TikTok. The sun-drenched retro California vibe of her videos is a common theme of the new skating aesthetic.
Flight attendant Jessica Maddock said she took up skating after a visit to the Church Of 8 Wheels roller rink in San Francisco.
The trend was most popular with young women aged in their 20s and 30s, Ms Maddock said. Men, she said, still preferred to roller blade.
