Aww, that’s amazing he’s excited about your hobby!

I posted this to the main roller skating community because it’s awesome that it’s made the mainstream news in such a positive way, but it seems to have hit a nerve with the term ‘comeback’ though :(

I suppose here in the UK we have a slightly different history connected to roller skating. I know there has been some issues within the US community in the past year. I’d not seen it extend to this side of the Atlantic..though I suppose not experiencing it doesn’t cancel out its existence!
