Pandemic Revives 70S Roller Skating Craze Bay City News Service FacebookTwitterEmail Bay City News Foundation Unlike most of us, David Miles, Jr., has plans this weekend. On Friday night, he ll strap on his roller skates, be they purple, green or blue, suit up in an ensemble fit for the Burning Man Playa and cruise down to an area of Golden Gate Park known as Skatin Place. San Francisco s biggest park was a perfect host to thousands of skaters during roller disco s peak in the 1970s, with as many as 20,000 people on wheels on a Sunday, when the park was closed to car traffic. They didn t even have to own skates-as many as three dozen roller-skate vendors, like a fleet of food trucks, parked nearby to provide the wheels. Miles, long ago dubbed The GodFather of Skate, believes skating s one of the last pastimes the pandemic hasn t impacted. In fact, he s feeling pretty good about it.
