Kylah: I started skating when I started walking, so wayyyy over two and half decades! I skated with a group when I was a teenager called Soul on Wheels with several
other members that was headed by Marvin Davis. We all grew up and started doing other things, but we never stopped skating. In fact, I can't ever remember a time where I wasn't skating.
 

 

Roller Funk:  What are your two favorite rinks?

Kylah :  Northland Skating Rink in Detroit because it's my home
rink and has one of the best floors around. There's a
lot of history about Detroit Style skating, which I will claim forever. It also holds a lot of memories, mostly good with a bad one here and there.  World on Wheels in Los Angeles because they roll to the oldies like we do, and they also have a great
floor. If it ain't wood, it ain't good!
 

Roller Funk:  What is currently your favorite song to skate to?

Kylah Slow Jam-Alicia Myers,"If you play your cards right" Fast Jam-Jimmie Bo Horne, "Is It In" These are my all-time favorite jams!!!!! Move outta my
way cause I'm coming through.
Other than that, I like old school R & B or songs made
before I was born, anything with a nice groove to it.

 

Roller Funk:  How would you describe yourself?

Kylah: I would say I'm pretty easy going at times. I can get
cranky like anyone else, but I'm human. I enjoy being a parent and I love my son to death. I enjoy life andtake each day one at a time. I am also a die hard
skater. I live, eat, and breathe skating!


 

Roller Funk:  What was the best skate jam you ever attended and why?

 
KylahI've been traveling for a while and the best skate jam is wherever my skate family is. I've met tons of
people over the years and get excited when it's time
to get together. Each state has something different to
offer and it's hard to pick just one party. As long as
the music is right and the floor is tight, I'm good.
 

Roller Funk:  If you could tell the skaters around the world just one thing, what would it be?

KylahIf there was no music, no disco ball, no one else out
there with me, as long as I have eight wheels and agood surface, I'll roll till the wheels fall off!

Whatever your passion is, be it skating or dancing, be
100% for it and don't let anyone steal your joy, not
even the floor guard!

"There's a place where I go to just get away. It's the
skating rink. Every time I roll onto the wood, I am
hypnotized by the feel of my eight wheels as they
glide across the floor, to the beat and rhythm of the
music. For me, it's a way of life, and yes, it is that
serious."

Oh, you said one thing right? Sorry :)
