Rolling Through the Vibes at a San Jose Roller Rink

There’s nothing like switching up your routine and doing something fresh, and recently we took the good vibes to a whole new level at a local San Jose roller rink. This spot has quickly become one of our favorite hangouts, not just for skating but for bringing our own flavor to the scene.

The first time we hit the rink, we decided to go all out and bring vinyl. That’s right—real records. It was a bit more work setting everything up, but the sound and feel were absolutely worth it. There’s just something magical about skating to vinyl—it gives the entire experience a warm, nostalgic edge that digital can’t replicate.

On our next visit, we decided to push things further. Even though the rink already had a solid DJ setup, we brought an extra system to sneak in some quick mixing sessions. The goal? To layer in our own beats and blend them into the vibe already happening. It was spontaneous, fun, and added a unique twist that the crowd loved.

Musically, we leaned heavily into the old school—think classic funk grooves that keep your feet moving and your soul smiling. That funky, retro energy perfectly matched the rhythm of the skaters rolling by under the neon lights.

It was the last weekend for the roller rink. I am looking forward if they come back next year.
