Inline skating as a hobby became popular during the late 80s and early 90s when inline skates became commercially available.

It is popularly called roller blading, especially by 90s kids, as Rollerblades were the most popular and accessible brand of inline skates during that time.

Dion is part of GMA Afternoon Prime series Magkaagaw which is currently on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
