Are you hibernating under blankets and drinking tea/coffee/hot chocolate almost intravenously? Winter is most definitely here, but there seems no better way of beating the winter blues than getting out into the fresh crisp air with a set of wheels on your feet! With...
The London Roller Derby season kicked of last Saturday in South West London. The Ultraviolent Femmes and the Harbour Grudges delivered an exciting bout with suspense until the last minutes. The teams were on fire, the crowd ecstatic and those new to the sport quickly...

The speakers announce that Dizzee Rascal only cares about sex and violence and Rihanna would fancy getting it on with a rude boy. Some people already sway awkwardly back and forth, their balance a cause for concern. Others are still happily boogying around in circles...
The skating year of 2011 has been a busy one for me. After being disappointed that the Santa Skate had been snowed off, I was pleased to get out on the streets again for the first Sunday Stroll of the year to Camden. With a crisp blue sky, the promise of sunshine...
Having discovered at the weekend that most of the Skatefresh Le Mans crew are now hanging out at the Bay66 skate park in Portobello (and even buying new aggressive skates), I decided I had to check it out, especially as I'm spending 2 weeks in London due to other mid...
This year on wheels has been an interesting one, from perfecting my speed skating for Le Mans, to improving my transitions and slides so I could learn to play a bit of hockey (badly), I certainly feel I've improved massively all round this year. It all started when I...
I wanted to share with all.... The Skatefresh 2011 Le Mans team that was, had some wicked achievements: Caitlin Evans and Matt Bowden finished their first marathon, pink pacelining the whole way..... Hazel Brocken finished her Midi but then went on to finish the full...
This summer skate date with all my friends in Brighton is now the highlight of my skate year. I remember when I lived in London and a trip to Brighton to see my best friend Eve seemed like allot of effort. So when so many people make that effort and come to Brighton...
Right, I’m home, back at work and re-installed into my skate/work/sleep routine and Le Mans seems like an age ago. It’s really - UNFAIR!!! I feel like I planned, taught, coached, invited, softly motivated, suggested, bought, sold, serviced, budgeted, chatted, ate,...

Before I began working with Skatefresh I was a lifeguard working at a dull little indoor pool - sometimes 7 days a week!!! I skated whenever I could but I didn't know many skaters and the ones I did know had gone back to Poland and weren't coming back. I spent a lot...
Le Mans, Training, teaching in 2011 and beyond…….Ok so here we are then, it’s May, and as a London skater I’ve made it through the season starter, skated dressed as a bunny (actually I didn’t this year but you get the idea) and I’m looking forward to a good run of fun...
