Rink is 20' x 15'. Plenty of room for experienced skaters. None but experience skaters allowed.
     Snyder Super Deluxe plate. I have vanothane vintage wheels coming soon. Riedell professional boot. My alternate pair of skates. Notice the skating harness.  It's called the "Coffin"  As you can see, I have accomplished a significant room upgrade with the installation of my small skating rink. XVX provides excellent dancing music. It will blast you from the room. What could be better? it's all good when you're on the wood!
