The first skate on the renewed floor is AMAZING!!! There’s nothing better than a shiny new floor that your wheels love to hug!! Enjoy guys!!😍😍🥰🥰💗💗💗💗🛼🛼🛼🛼🛼🛼
True about hearing impaired feeling music through the wood floor. My sister is deaf and we grew up in a house with wood floors, we could get her attention from across the room by stomping on the floor. She loves loud music 🎶
My rink is closed for all this month for a new floor installation, so it's really interesting to see how some of the maintenance is done. I appreciate the care and effort to keep everything in great condition for everyone to use, thanks for being so awesome! Looking forward to getting back in my rink soon!
This is awesome to get an insight into the inner workings of the rink, I hope you do more videos like this!!! , as a skater we never can appreciate what goes on behind the scenes in running a successful rink and love getting a glimpse into the trials and tribulations of rink management :)
Watching this video at 2am, because the rink is closed again Monday and Tuesday for refinish. Appreciate the care taken into this, but looking forward to coming back Monday the 11th for Flashback night and another birthday party.
Birthday moms are scary!!! Everyone complains about the kids (well, teens) who start fights at my local rink during night skates (Friday nights are typically when parents drop their kids off - as young as FOUR! - and go do their own thing)...but I've seen more than my fair share of fights between moms at the children's parties during the Saturday and Sunday "Family Time" sessions. The "Party Room" is just spot in the back of my rink with 12...maybe 16?...plastic picnic tables with the built-in seats, so they can host up to 7 or 8 parties at one time, if needed, depending on the number of guests for each. The last "Mom Fight"? All because a child (probably 3 or 4) sat down at the wrong table. Throwing punches and all...not just yelling/screaming...a physical fight. Like...seriously???? (.........and then people wonder why the Friday Night Kids are so bad around here.) *sigh*
Nice video and made me laugh..we too have been doing our own floor but next time we will hire someone..we are getting too old for the heavy duty maintenance.
This is where you have a rink owner that actually cares. Have you heard about the rink in Hawaii? (Kapolei Inline Hockey Arena) It's made with abrasive TILES that scrape the skin if you happen to fall. It's awful. There are sidewalks that are smoother. I got my pads, guards, helmet to make the transition to outdoors, otherwise I'd spend $50-$70 per month to skate just once a week!
Cherelle :D yes you can sand too much. My grandfather sanded to the point of seeing nail heads and to gue and groove (the favored area of the floor). Push came to shove and we finally had no choice but to replace our 3rd grade hardwood maple floor. When the company came to measure we were told we made a 50 year floor last 85 years. We celebrated our 96th anniversary memorial weekend of this year. Our track is only 50 x 100 but as a new rink in 1926 I am sure it was a dream come true. We are still family owned and operated.
i use to skate on a concrete floor as a kid, the problem was i live in the south with high humidity add that to air conditioning, you get water condensation on the floor.
Is there ever a time when you have to redo the entire floor? Is that a thing? I know that would be SUPER expensive but curious 😅! Like is there a point when the floor is TOO old to skate on?
Haha well I didn't know my comment would show under the video, so I'll explain. I'm fascinated by these beautiful rink floors and how you maintain them. Love how informative your videos are. We watch practically every night.

Wow, thanks for sharing about your deaf sister.

I'm down in SD but bringing work colleagues to skate your new floor in November when we are up in long beach for a conference! You're rink is legit!
Been trying to get there for a skate- inflation has this mama struggling.
Soon enough from Colorado! - love that you are continuing your legacy.
Love skating on a Maple floor! The floor, music and energy of the fellow skaters is what I love about skating!! Your floor looks awesome !!
Yay! I am going to visit you at the end of this month!
Nice to see you on UA-cam, Ryan!!
Isn’t the floor 48 years old? Lol!
Ryan and Debra are the coolest! Can’t wait to visit! Love y’all!
I feel like this was just done, like I just watched last years video... Only, I watched that last year... this year flew by!!!
It’s the happiest floor in the world 🙌🙌🙌

🤣🤣🤣🤣 the spin intro love it

7 years on a coat ? we do our rink twice a year in oil base. Im stunned
Sadly, we don’t have a roller skating rink where I live, but if I ever go to California, I know where to go!!!
Roller rink floors seems to look more difficult to refinish unlike an ice rink where you just drive a bigass Zamboni over it after a session
I said this on another video I skated on the roughest indoor floor I’ve ever seen. It was so hard to move.
Can you sand the floor too much? Silly question, but I'm wondering if the floor will eventually disappear with sanding often?

@@rjabja thank you so much for replying and answering my question. I'm so happy you guys are still running ☺️ well done!!

I was hoping this was a video on watching the work being done.... I was sorely disappointed 😞

Hello! What is the name of the water based coating you all use?? Thanks!
Whats the best floor you ever skated on? (Rink/location) my opinion … 🔥RIVERGATE SKATE CENTER🔥Nashville Tennessee
Have I been watching too much scifi? Can maybe put in a floor that doesn't just do rollerskates but ice skates too?
Thankyou🥹even though the floors aren’t fully finished but the new polish has given the floor a fresh feeling💕🫱🏽🫲🏾
Thanks!

@@Dirtydeborahharry Of course I love your channel and you!! I’m looking at getting a pair of reidell 395s with outdoor wheels get some exercise
