We’re in a book!
Isle of Skating founder, Nele Van Bogaert, got interviewed about her life on rollerskates for the book ‘Roller Skaters’, by teNeue.
This book is the first coffee table book on the lifestyle and trending topic of roller skating. It consists of exclusive portraits of international skate legends, and captivating photography, including roller derby, skate park and jam skaters.
While skating has always been around for some people, the sport has seen a huge resurgence in recent years. And the world of roller skating is more colorful, diverse, and livelier than ever.
Find out more about the book here.

We really enjoyed hosting Yomi Adegoke from The Guardian at our skating session in Rollernation! Yomi won’t mind us saying, but she was nervous about falling and couldn’t stand up on her skates - we’ve all be there right?! With lots of patience and breaking down the foundations we got Yomi feeling confident on her skates and even taught her some dance moves!
With the skating renaissance going on, the National Geographic showed the top 5 places to Rollerskate in Europe. London is high on the list and we were so please to see Isle of Skating mentioned as a destination for learning the basics!
If you’re serious about taking up roller skating, London-based Isle of Skating offers an abundance of courses to kick start your new hobby. Despite only being founded in 2020, the company has since grown from a one-woman show to a healthy 20 instructors who all share the same passion for teaching people how to skate.
