Roller skating means community freedom, diversity and love of life. The world of roller skating is colourful and full of life. Set in scene by professional photographers, international professional and amateur skaters show breathtaking stunts on the halfpipe and smooth disco moves on beach boulevards, on the street, or in skate parks. They reveal the best skate spots in their city, what equipment they can't manage without and what makes up their personal style. Roller skating is more than a sport, it's the attitude towards life of a worldwide community. Text in English and German.
