from This Week in Blade on 10 Aug 2021

Matthew Jastrzemski is a rollerblader from the United States whos currently living in Croatia with his wife and daughter. When hes not spending time with family, skating, or shooting photos you can find him perfecting his craft as a hair stylist out of his single chair studio in Zagreb. When asked what he hoped people would take away from GH&BK he said To enjoy yourself. Enjoy blading at the capacity that you can. Jastrzemski went on to explain that after having major hip surgery in 2013 he thought his skating days were behind him. Between my [bad] knees and hip I have to cautiously push my limits. He hopes his edit serves as a reminder that it doesnt matter whether youre dropping hammers, doing toe rolls, or forgetting to grab your backslides. Its all about enjoyment and pushing your personal limits. Its about fun.
