Rolling Around on Pier 2

I don't think I ever really truly appreciated Beyonce's roller skating skills in her music video for Blow, because damn, that shit is hard. It's hard just to stand upright, let alone sing, look fucking amazing, and follow along to some dope choreography. That would take be many, many years to get right. But for a bunch of amateurs we managed to at least get around the rink a couple of times without having to cling on to the side railing and that, my friends, is pretty damn awesome.

If you're ever looking to struggle in roller skates with a beautiful Manhattan skyline behind you, I would highly recommend the roller rink on Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. You're right by Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo as well (which is home to a Shake Shack, incredible pizza, and the Brooklyn Ice Cream factory. All of which we opted out of after skating for almost two hours, because we were ready to face plant into bed and sleep until the AM.

  2. Rollerskating is soooo hard! I totally agree. Growing up my younger brother was so insanely good at skating...he had speed skates too! He would always make fun of my weak skating skills. I'm not bitter...really...

  3. Haha, that's Queen B for you - she can do anything and make it look amazing. Us mere mortals have no chance!
    You did pretty good though, hehe, and these are such cute photos :) If I ever get to Brooklyn I'll keep a lookout for Pier 2!

  4. Roller skating looks fun! Were there a lot of kids where you went? I've noticed at derbys and rinks that kids are always zipping around. All that lower center of gravity business.
