Version of skating in Kenya and I have you know a number of people that do roller skating aside from a skateboarding I want to hear from them what are their view is on skating in the country skateboarding roller skating it was a passion for me I wanted to know this thing
Since I was small because when I saw other people doing it I had that intention of doing it with me now so far how has it been for you it has been so fun for me uh yes and this thing has made me compete with other students okay
In my recent school in thika we had a competition yeah and I managed to become position two and that’s really inspired me to continue skating because maybe in future I can be someone greeting and skating well of course the caliber says that probably could be the first Kenyan take
Part in the Olympics when you talk about skating yes skating skating is one of the most passionate games you can ever think of it’s one of the most free moves you can make when you’re on during your leisure time actually uh there’s this Cloud that people have on you know
Skating in the country that is a foreign game what do you have to say about that well at least it’s an emerging game especially on our side the Kenyan sketch group we are actually upcoming in so many ways there are new talents coming in and it’s actually the best
Have you ever taken a part in any competition locally locally yes yeah and it’s actually more competitive down here yeah it’s actually more competitive here in the country yeah Yeah so so far how long have you been in skating I think it’s like 18 years 18 years 18 years in skating what can you say over that uh your skating Journey my skating Journey has been a bit Fair okay it has been a bit Fair since I’ve
Not encountered some problems of late uh of course this is a game that Kenyans are taking part in do you feel like probably Kenya has the talent take part in the Olympics yeah the talent is there but we don’t have the support you only like this output we only lack at the support
My name is Brian yes a brand when did you get into skating and how’s the journey been for you I got into skating when I was in National Youth service and I’ve been I’ve taken almost like six months in practicing the skating and it’s been good for me
Six months and how has it been for you it’s been great it’s been great of course have you had a chance of interacting with Brandon from South Africa no not yet of course he’s here with you guys today what are you hoping to learn from him okay we are hoping to
Show him our talents to show him our talents so that he can get to know that we have got talents here in Kenya and he can get he can still get to support us yeah of course they are hoping to show Brandon that Kenya also has has the talent in skating
And probably in years to come probably Kenya can take part in the Olympics will probably have an Olympian when you talk about skating but uh as you can see it’s not an easy sport and some of them are tumbling and of course we have those who are experienced but well even those
Experienced it’s not easy they are here to see brand owner from South Africa who’s an Olympian is all of course is taking part in a number of competitions and he’s hoping that he can transfer his skill to some of the Kenyan skaters that we have that you go there you can see
