My homey from The Shoe Game, G-Roc invited me to go rollersk8’g at the Atlanta hotspot called Cascade. This is the joint which was highlighted in the movie ‘Roll, Bounce’. Sunday night is the popoff at Cascade when all the college heads and young people get they roller boogie right. Sure enough the crowd was ready to ‘TURN UP’ (newest Atlanta lingo for going ham).
I haven’t sk8’d since the closing of the Empire roller rink in Brooklyn so I was a bit rusty, actually dusty, but I finally got around the rink with my stiff leg technique. It was fun to watch the sk8rz go in on their favorite jams. The deejay was spinning strictly southern rap and when the hottest song in Atlanta dropped the whole rink got on the floor to ‘TURN UP’.
