I will definitely continue to skate, even when I go to college and get a profession.” When I first attempted a flip on roller skates I tried it into a foam pit,” Mia explains. “I got really comfortable with them into a foam pit and then onto an airbag. When I was confident with my rotation and the flip, I would start attempting them on cement. I was usually pretty confident in my attempts, but I always knew my limit. I would never try and push it and see if I could go farther than I knew I could.

The incredible stunt earned the then-15-year-old, from California, USA, the record for most people barani flipped over from a quarter pipe on roller skates. When I first attempted a flip on roller skates I tried it into a foam pit,” Mia told us. “I got really comfortable with them into a foam pit and then onto an airbag. When I was confident with my rotation and the flip, I would start attempting them on cement. She was nervous at first, and didn't succeed on her first try, but once she did it, it was like a dream come true! I would take baby steps until I could land the flip. It is not easy at first though, I would take some tough falls here and there! Well, Mia used to spend hours practising every day. And now, as a busy 16-year-old, even though she has less free time, she still manages to skate a few times a week.Depending on the Moxi model, the skates may be made from materials including a genuine leather or slightly more affordable animal-friendly materials.

[…] Watching them improve and work hard inspires me more than anything!” By the age of 13, Mia had fallen in love with the sport and become a regular at the skate park, where she made a few good friends from the skating community.

She took some persuading but, within a few days, she was flipping over nine people in a row. As she told us, she doesn't want to skate for money: “I skate for the happiness it gives me. I will definitely continue to skate, even when I go to college and get a profession.” These retro-style quad skates adapt to fit kids from sizes 13 – 2 (UK) with an easy-adjust closure.
