Talk:Magic Machines

Quad Skating to Funk music is sweet and the most fun you can have standing up. Yet you never hear tell of it in the wide world. If it's reported at all, it's rolled-in with Roller Disco, Rollerboogie or Jam Skating. I submit it warrants it's own official category or sub-category designation.

There is a special Soul, a smooth rockin' and rollin' to Sweet Funk Skatin' that sets it apart from those earlier, originating forms of Dance Skating. It's just very hard to try and accurately describe the experience of skating in this particular style. Why? Because it's all about a subtle uniqueness - of motion and physics, of bio-mechanics and music - acting together like no other.

Fundamentally, it all begins with the skates. There are some basic mechanical reasons why Quad Skates, and therefore Quad Dance Skating, are different and can perform moves in a way that no other type of skate can match. It's been tricky trying to explain how they all snap together like a perfect picture-puzzle - when the music is right and you've got on your Magic Machines.
