Jamming on Quad Skates with @highrollazuk

Kay Brown, who is part of the London-based freestyle skating group High Rollaz UK (@highrollazuk), started skating as a way to connect with his friends. “Skating was something fun that we could do every week,” he says. After finding out about a regular roller disco event in King’s Cross, he was hooked. “As we got better, we started to think about how far we could take it.”

Performing what’s also known as jam skating, Kay — who goes by Kay Boogie in the skating world — has a roster of signature moves, including what he calls the “Yoshimitsu Spin,” a really fast spin that he does low to the ground. “I named the move after a character from a PlayStation game,” he says. Another move, called “Baby by Me,” requires two skaters. “How it works is I skate up behind my colleague, go through their legs and I’m lifted up into the air and do the splits,” Kay explains.

Several musical videos have featured High Rollaz UK’s unique skating maneuvers, including the video to the modern soul duo Jungle’s song “The Heat.” During long production days, Kay shares behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram. “We share the real us,” he says. “Our followers can guarantee that anything we post is unedited and isn’t planned. We capture the moments when they happen and post them.”

Kay says the aim is to show that hard work pays off. “If we’ve inspired even one person in a day, then we’ve done a good job,” he says.
