During the quarantine shutdown of 2020 many quickly realized how boring life inside could really be the whipped coffee trend the homemade bread trend and the rise of the airfryer kept many briefly occupied but don walker a local santa clarita resident decided she would ask others to share her love of skating
She put a simple question out on facebook said who wants to go skating with me and it just grew and grew and grew now skating has brought joy and good vibes to many of the other members of skating mamas and also a sense of family in a time
When so many others were searching for camaraderie laura bartlett is someone who knows loneliness very well she started her skating journey along the beaches of southern california roller skating totally saved my life when i was 15 years old i was a homeless teenager in long beach and there was a
Whole big skating community there i was literally living under the pier and the skating community that was there took me under their wing and that’s when i started skating retro is her skating name and she lives and breathes skating she spent every day along the coast with
Her skating family using it as an outlet for the tough times she was going through i kind of needed to escape from reality now she uses her skills and enthusiasm to teach and give others the same feeling of freedom after being stuck inside for so long especially coming out from isolation
Kovid showed a lot of it where um yeah people came out and did this and then now they don’t feel so all alone and not only has the group created a fun accepting place to hang out but roller skating itself keeps these mamas coming back gosh i don’t know what i do
With that without skating rolling out from canyons news i’m sydney sweet
