Flowing roller skate moves with Janna
My first international trip for the series takes me to Holland to meet Janna Bedaux. With several years of training with the Es Quint Foundation and skating in the Amsterdam skate community, Janna has a very smooth flow with many intricate moves. We had a lot of fun filming this video, and I even managed to get a move named after my star sign - the Scorpio! As part of her astrological move series, she was working on at the time.

Cross Spins with Kengo
Kengo is a London skater and DJ. He is part of The Next Chapter. He is a creative and intuitive skater who I met early on in my dance skate journey. I’m always drawing inspiration from his variations and the experimental nature of his skating. In this episode, we work through quite technical moves, including cross spins, flares, and the Matrix—all moves that can take time to perfect.
