Roll down memory lane with this Twin Cities skating guide

• Each outdoor route has a detailed map, clever nickname (like "Viva La Skate" for French Regional Park) and information on difficulty, surface, terrain and available facilities.
• While the routes aren't explicitly listed as skating trails, many still appear to exist today, like Fish Lake and Battle Creek Regional Parks' paths.

State of skates: The indoor rink scene is no longer as robust. In 1992, the Twin Cities area alone had a whopping nine roller rinks.

• Today, with the impending loss of Twin Cities Skaters Studio in Uptown, we're down to just Cheap Skate and Skateville.
