Which Five Stride shop do you work in? Brooklyn
What is your history with roller skating & what type of skating are you into now? I grew up ice skating and started quad skating in 2011 while learning to play roller derby. Street skating is my preferred mode of transportation. I captain the Gotham Roller Derby All Stars and skate for the Manhattan Mayhem. I was a member of team USA Roller Derby during the 2018 World Cup and have coached roller skating and derby internationally.
