✨ Interview With A Skater ✨ Meet Jada!

Catch the skater chats straight from our Emerald photoshoot - Jada shares core skate memories and handy inspo in this 3-part series you might’ve missed on our socials

Hi, I’m Jada Jarvis, and I’ve been skating since November of 2023!

How did you get over your fear of falling?

Just skating as much as you can because the more you fall, the less you dread it. It’s not fun, but like you're re-humbled. In a way that just makes you want to keep going. Like, ok, I got it.

What is your favourite thing about skating?

My favourite thing about skating is how present you have to be. Like you have to be there for you, or you’re paying the floor tax, but it’s a very freeing and flowing sport, and uh, I love it. It’s my favourite stim.

What is your favourite skating memory?

My favourite memory of skating is probably the first roll-out session I went with LA Skate Hunnies, because I’ve never been around that many skaters at a time. Like, going around the city… Oh oh! Specifically skating through the promenade.
