FUN – Sasha Berg rollerskate edit

twitterlinkedinmail

Freestyle Now team rider Sasha Berg released her first rollerskate edit in collaboration with Ewen Robson behind the camera and editing, and Lewis Ricketts who produced the music. This project was mostly filmed in 2022/2023 and we are stoked to see Sasha working with others in the local scene to shine a light on her skating. Read what Sasha has to say about it below. 

“I named this edit “FUN” because of all the things skating has been for me over the years, fun has been a constant. Creating these edits plays an important part in solidifying an era of your skating. It acts as something to reflect on so you can understand where you’ve come from and hopefully inspire others within the rollerskate community. I am super thankful to Ewen for not only filming and editing this piece but being the one to spark the idea and encourage me to start the project. Another thank you to Lewis for producing the music and believing in me. And a big shout out to Emmi Rumsa for her skating and friendship.”
