I was a major rink-rat....I would walk about 2 1/2 miles carrying my skates over my shoulder! I lived for Friday and Saturday skating!!!
Also who remembers Starz? The Disco that they had on Saturday nights!??
I really had some great times there!!!!
I still have my skates!!! I can't part with them!!!

USA Skating Rink was on Hicksville Road, in North Massapequa. Actually it used to be Hills Supermarket, back in the late 60s... right next to A&P in Holiday Park Shopping Center and diagonally across from Waldbaums. I think it became the skating rink in the mid to late 70s.

Michelle- Great to see you at the reunion, too bad we couldn't spend more time together!
Glad to hear I am not the only one that still has their skates! Do you know where Jairo is? I would love to email him.

Wasn't there a reunion there a couple of years ago to celebrate the rink's 24th year in Massapequa?

Yes, there was. My neices went and said that it was a scream. There were as many "elderly" (her words) people there as there were kids. The kids tried to act grown-up and the gray-hairs were acting like teenagers.

The best part of usa rink was the deli about two doors down that made the best liver puffs. I wish they still made them.

I think I saw "Disco" Joe Iavaroni DJing there last Sat nite. Those were great times there in early late 70's-early 80's. Remember skating to FreeBird by Skynyrd ?

OMG I still have my skates too! I bought custom speed skates when I was 16. Ridel boots, laser nicon racing plates and powell peralta wheels. Only thing different about them now is I have new wheels because I wore the old ones out. My USA skating era was late 80's to early 90's.
