About
Atlanta quad skater
I skate outdoor quads around Atlanta, on trails, in parks and at the rink. Students from 18 to 60+ are welcome, and in-person lessons are coming next spring.
A safe space to skate
Out as a gay man for over 25 years plus queer community building for 2 decades in 3 different states, you’ll find respect and courtesy when you work with me. All are welcome. Skating is for everyone! Have a question before working with me? Drop me a quick line at josh@theroller.gay 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
