Skatefresh in the Guardian
….an article that managed to inspire one or the other:
Check out what Rodford e-mailed Asha after reading it:
Hi Asha,
Thank you so much for your kind words about the site and for getting in touch. Of course, I’m delighted to link to Skatefresh. The link is on the blog now.
This will come as a surprise but you are the reason I took up skating in March 2007. I read that article that you contributed to in The Guardian. I live in West Kirby on the Wirral Peninsula and no one skates here (and still don’t except me). I’d never seen a skater, and although I lived in London for many years, it was mainly before the era of inlines. But I had a gut feeling on reading that article that I should buy some skates. It changed my life. I didn’t take it up to get fit as I’ve been involved in sport and dance all my life but I had no idea how much sheer joy and pleasure it would add to my life. Even dislocating my shoulder on Hypnos did not stop me!
So, a very big thank you.
With best wishes,
Rodford
P.S. Just in case you missed it, you are featured on the blog on Michael Rivers’ video:
