I love to roller skate.

I loved rollerskating when I was younger.

And I love what I do and I love skating.

I started skating at age 2 on roller skates on the South Side of Chicago, where I grew up. By age 4, roller-skating was something I really enjoyed. Everyone around me wanted to do the 'roll bounce' thing, but I was pretty much only interested in going fast.

I started skating because I loved it. I started when I was three and I didn't know all the sacrifices and all the hardships and how difficult day-in and day-out it would be.

I actually have an ice-skating background. I skated until I was 15, for about eight years. It was hardcore skating for about eight hours a day.

Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.

I was nine-years-old when I first put on skates.

I skate now for fun and to keep myself in shape.
