Where it all started-

Back in mid 2021 in the midst of COVID-19 I bought myself a set of impala roller skates to pass the time and to gain some routine back in my life. I remember the first time walking down the ramp to VS (an original skater carpark) for the first time: skates in hand, ready to learn. Only, to my surprise, I wasn’t the only one that had the same idea. There must have been around 20 people skating around this basement car park and I was just in awe at the skills these skaters had. Chopping n shuffling round the post, making a train of skaters..

But I knew I had to get my basics first. I couldn’t yet go forward…

So, for the first year off my skate journey I drilled the basics to perfection. I also found my love for jam skating - give me a little routine to follow! I’m down for a dance. I’ve met some of the most amazing jam skaters across London and I’ve learnt some cool routines, but when the streets of London start calling you must answer…

The London street skating scene is like no other. When I came across the street skating scene I discovered a whole different side to skating and the skater merch you guys bring along with it. From the reflective number jumpers to the tie dye socks that will keep ya feet protected from the street rubbish, I fell in love with the community skating brings and how you elevate each other and the businesses within. I’m here to be a part of that and take your brand to the next level.
