As a neophyte in the skate community I understand the importance of honoring those that came before me. A life ong roller skater, I entered the roller skating business in 202 durin gthe pandemic and John McKay and I became good phone friends. he gave the best advice. I now have the only roller skati ngshop in houston but non of this woul dbe possible w/o the long lasting roller skating that Houston has been cultivating since the 1970's. Our collective goal is to revive Howie Roll and invited the Houston Skate Community out to skate with us and celebrate the legacy of the ol d& th enew. Urban Animals, local Roller Derby teams, Space City Skaters, Daisies & Pancakes, etc....
