I’ve been skating ramps and bowls on my roller skates since 2014 and I played roller derby for an internationally competitive team between 2006 and 2013.
In 2020, I was featured as a roller skater in a music video for the band Dream Nails. In 2025, I skated in, filmed and edited a skate video with Moliana Mundy that premiered on the Dog Days magazine YouTube channel:
I’ve also written articles, and made zines, videos and podcasts about skating, as well as helping build DIY skate parks:
I’ve continued to profile the people shaping global roller skating on my Substack.
I wrote about my favourite DIY park, overcoming fears, and profiled Anticlique founder Dita Muertos for three of the roller-skate community’s best zines
I helped build a concrete miniramp in Hackney, as well as organising a jam and designing and producing merch to raise funds.
I interviewed skaters in Bali, the UK and Italy for a zine made by Australian roller-skate brand Chuffed.
I interviewed some of the most influential people in ramp roller skating for a podcast that I hosted, produced and edited. They would go on to found and work for the companies that define 21st century quad-skate subculture: Brunny Hardcore, Chuffed Skates and Lazo.
I interviewed a new generation of London roller skaters who are pushing forward what’s possible in the scene. Featuring Ayy Skates, Skate With Sis, Watch My Wheels and Skate Tingz.
I wrote a cover story for Huck magazine on jam skater
Amir Bacchus-Marquis and his efforts to keep his community thriving through lockdown.
In January 2020, I co-created a quarterly zine about ramp skating called Staple Gun with Julie Day and interviewed skaters from around the world, including:
I reported from Lebanon on Roller Derby Beirut, focusing on displaced Yemeni student and skater Hadeel Hassan.
The story was adapted into a short film that appeared on the National Geographic’s Short Film Showcase and The Atlantic’s Editors’ Picks and went viral online.
