“James Bower is a warrior. As the large catalogue of sections and video appearances he has built up over the years will confirm, Bower is the type of skater who is not afraid to take a beating and keep going, and his relentless willingness to battle a trick for hours until he has realised what he pictured in his mind displays great spirit. It shows strength of character. Then again, what else do you expect from someone who got into rollerblading after watching the Mighty Ducks? He’s got that fighting spirit that would have made Coach Bombay proud.” - David McNamara
