When Callum Campbell posted a photo of his 6-year-old daughter following in his skating footsteps, little did he know 12 months later a reunion would take place.
But over the weekend, that is exactly what happened.
About 90 former and current members of the New Zealand Federation of Roller Sports
travelled from all corners of the world to reminisce about old times and pass on their love for roller skating to the next generation.
"It was about the positive things of the sport, getting everyone back together and showing the new, little skaters what it was like back in the day; how friendships were formed at a very young age and how they are still going 40, 50, 60 years later," Campbell said.
The group, ranging in age from 2-and-a-half-years-old, to those in their 80s, met at Windsor Park and did some "reminiscing and rolling around".
