I have performed at their intermission before.

That's fun.

And so we have the Detroit Derby girls.

We have some that are down river.

So Derby is popular.

And then soul skating is huge here in Detroit.

So there's always a place to go skating.

You know, soul skating is a, so there is an event called soul skate that happens once a year in Memorial or once every two years Memorial weekend.

That is a regional roller skate meetup.

So, skate crews from all around the country will come and they'll show their different types of skating, whether it be JB skating from Chicago or a Detroit style here is really cool.

Very high kicks, very impressive.

You can learn them on Monday nights at the rink on eight mile here in Detroit.
