Patrick Swayze's first film role was as Ace, the leader of a skate gang! Check out his skating in this vid, he's pretty nifty! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuv_YcpM4nU

There's a review of the film here with some stills. Looks like total 70's chesse and I so wanna watch it! Can't find the DVD on amazon though, just the poster - http://oddculture.com/2008/02/29/roller-disco-cinema-skatetown-usa/

ATTACK

Wow - thanks for sharing that Attack! I think I need a sit down in a darkened room, phew, he could send me to the sin bin any time he likes! (dirty grin)

Swayze originally trained as a dancer before moving into films, so he would have had some good balance and poise and all the rest of it. His moves were pretty cool in that trailer.

Crikey, he's got some moves in that vid - so who's volunteering to try out that belt move on their skate out?! One of the comments said the original music was a disco version of under my thumb, interesting! Maybe we should have a cheesy 70's roller skating movies evening? Heehee

His derby thighs are shit hot! What a tribute to the guy; we definately need a roller film night. Xanadu should be on the menu too!

Now, if only I could find a new house with a cinema room and we could get a projector...

:D
