Originally from Boyle Heights but now rolling around the streets of Whittier, Arasely (she/her) tells us she used to ride a board but decided to switch it up to quads, simply to bomb hills and cruise through Junipero Beach with her homegirls. Four years later and she’s still a quad girlie with some top tier advice…
Do you have a secret to feeling confident while skating?
My secret feeling to being confident while skating is my lip gloss and my tunes!
Skates or outfit: which one makes you feel more unstoppable?
My skates give me the most freeing feeling. The outfit comes second.
If you could have a skate superpower, what would it be?
I would love to learn tricks immediately.
Any advice for someone who wants to feel more confident on skates but isn’t sure how or where to start?
My advice would be to reframe your fear of falling into falling safely. Practice balancing and stopping helps to feel more confident as well.
If your skates could talk, what do you think they’d say about you?
"She's grooovy baby!"
What’s your fave song or songs that help you feel more confident when skating?
That's a hard one! My mind went straight to James brown "Wake up and Give Yourself a Chance to live" keeps me grateful and groovin.
