Patrick Swayze had the leading role as the skater “Ace”, this was actually his first movie performance. The film centers on a Los Angeles roller disco called Skatetown, U.S.A., where a rivalry between two skaters (Patrick Swayze and Greg Bradford) culminates in a contest. The winner will receive $1000 and a moped. h/t >
