“My inline skating journey: from rough to smooth. I tried inline skating over a decade ago, but I quit. A combination of a lack of confidence and finding it difficult to skate on a variety of surfaces was enough to cause me to ditch it. That's sad. Rolling on smooth surfaces can be fun but you're always going to be restricted because the world simply wasn't made smooth. If you really want to take it to the next level you're gonna have to go everywhere. Some surfaces are awful for skating, but that's the challenge. These day's when I go out and skate, it's me versus the terrain; it's a battle! Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but that's life. Go and roll. Roll EVERYWHERE!” - Rich Hayter
