I am so glad you had fun. I never had skates growing up although all my friends had them. Back in the 70's here in America at least, the skates came with a little key, the skates were adjustable and that key was needed to loosen and tighten the skates.
This brought me memories of me watching my friends skate with their little key dangling around their necks on little shoestrings. :)
Yeah, my parents couldn’t afford lots of things when I was a kid. I never had skates nor a skateboard nor tons of other things. Now I’m catching up ;)
Still can do fun stuff since I’m only 21 now.
