Broad and High

Columbus' Roller Skating Scene

Clip: Season 6 Episode 19 | 6m 10sVideo has Closed Captions

We got a peek into this vibrant subculture that is flourishing right here in Columbus.

For some of us, the thought of hitting up the roller rink and lacing up a pair of skates is best relegated to elementary school children. With the scarcity of rinks and lack of attention to the scene, you might think roller skating is on the decline. But a visit to Skate Zone 71 on Adult Night is proof that roller skating isn't dead – it's just gone underground.
