Skating is about more than just the race. It is about the community, the thrill of trying something new, and the memories we build on wheels.

An incredible experience for our skaters, who got to meet and skate with action stars Vidyut Jammwal and Arjun Rampal for the movie "Crakk".

For the first time in South Mumbai, we introduced a roller skating ramp. Our learners are gaining confidence and having a blast learning to jump and perform new tricks.

Rolling with pride on Independence Day. Our skaters took to the streets of Mumbai, gliding past the Gateway of India with the tricolor held high.

Meet Shivaansh Kapadia, a 6-year-old champion who has already won multiple championships and met celebrities through his dedication to skating.

Introducing Alain Ansari, one of our most dedicated skaters, seen here during a practice session on the professional track. Her focus and passion are inspiring.

A young skater masters the ramp, showing great courage and skill. We are always introducing new challenges to help our students grow.

Celebrating Independence Day on wheels at our training ground. It's a joy to combine our love for skating with our love for the country.

About Additional Work & Special Moments

When we installed the first roller skating ramp in South Mumbai at St. Mary's, it was a turning point for our students. It allowed us to move beyond basic track drills and help skaters build real confidence through jumps and technical challenges. Seeing a student shift from hesitation to landing their first jump on that ramp is exactly why we do this.

Our academy in Mumbai isn't just a place to practice; it is a space for experiences that push our skaters out of their comfort zones. Whether it is our students getting on set with action stars like Vidyut Jammwal for a film collaboration or skating with the tricolor past the Gateway of India on Independence Day, we believe these moments matter.

Why These Moments Matter

  • Confidence through Play: We use creative events like fancy dress on skates and ramp sessions to make technical practice feel like play. It takes the pressure off and lets kids learn balance without the fear of falling.
  • Real-World Exposure: We don't just train inside the rink. By taking our skaters out for road rallies at Marine Drive or collaborative shoots, they learn how to handle different surfaces and environments.
  • Community Spirit: Our focus is on the 'skating family' dynamic. When senior students mentor juniors during our annual championships or themed contests, they learn leadership. That is how we have built a legacy since 1989.

Every image you see on this page—from the early morning track sessions to the festive celebrations—is part of a larger story of growth. We believe that if you can find joy in the process, the technique and the speed follow naturally.

I started this journey back in 1989 because I simply loved skating. Today, I work alongside my son, Afzal, to keep that same passion alive for a new generation. We are a family that rolls together, and we would love to have you join us.
