My Favorite Hobby

transportation. Roller rinks and skate parks are built for roller

More About Rollerskating
Roller skating was very popular, especially in the United States,
from the 1930s to the 1950s, then again in the 1970s when it was
associated with disco music and roller discos. During the 1990s,
inline outdoor roller skating became popular.
Here in Kenya, you can find street roller skating classes in Nairobi
through academies like
Kings Kenya
and
Nairobi Roller Skates Academy. Options include private and group lessons at venues like Two
Rivers Sports District, with pricing varying based on session type
and number of participants. Many organizations also require
mandatory safety equipment like helmets and pads for their programs.
