Last popular in the 1970s disco scene, roller-skating is coming back into fashion.

These Hong Kong skaters are gliding around at their weekly gathering.

The return of roller-skating is linked to social media trends.

However, the pandemic created a huge rise in interest.

Many were attracted to this fun, friendly, socially distanced activity as an outdoor alternative to the gym.

Milanie Bekker owns Madame Quad in Hong Kong.

She says there isn't enough supply to meet customer demand.
