Hey Helena 🫶 Do you remember the moment you first fell in love with roller skating? How long have you been skating for now?
Hey Helena 🫶 Do you remember the moment you first fell in love with roller skating? How long have you been skating for now?
I fell in love with rollerskating during the autumn 2023. I remember the first time I saw a person on rollerskates. I was walking in a park in Germany and I saw a girl with so much confidence doing rollerskating. This was the first time I knew I had to try rollerskating.
We’re OBSESSED with your handmade matching outfits… What made you decide to start creating your own wonderful clothing?
Thank you so much. Actually, my inspiration to make clothes started with rollerskating. I saw so many outfits and styles and I told to myself that I wanted to express who I am. I learned how to sew, and now it's a big part of my life.
What are your favorite skate locations… this can be local, or worldwide!
I would say Berlin, of course. But also Paris and Barcelona.
Do you have a favorite song or playlist you listen to on repeat while you’re skating or making your creations?
Yes, I like listening to fairly rhythmic music while I roller-skate or sew; I really love musicians like Jungle, GloRilla, Beyoncé, James Brown, and of course the Queen of all time: Diana Ross.
We love hearing skate tips… Can you please share your top advice for beginner skaters just starting?
Don't compare yourself to other because progress is different for everyone. Allow yourself to fall (a lot!).
