Ok, so here we are, south of France few years ago, a kid made everybody laugh ’cause every time we ask him to try something he is just going for it. Many bails later he became what I call one of the fastest progressing skaters in the rollerblading history, from one year to another he took place in the rollerblading scene and he is now 4th at the WRS world ranking and took 3rd at the WRS world final! Today, Roman is still progressing and we he’s here to stay. His section in one of last year’s most anticipated DVDs, Game Theory, is amazing, check it out!
