    In this episode of the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, Devin Hill opens up about the deeply personal journey that brought her into the world of roller skating. She shares her very first skate experience and the way figure skating captivated her as a child. Those early moments made a lasting impression on her and planted the seeds for a passion she would eventually rediscover.Devin reflects on some of her earliest and most meaningful skate memories which began with her dad taking her to an ice arena. Years later after the passing of her father she felt called to return to skating this time on quads and she has not looked back. What began as a reconnection to something familiar quickly became a source of healing and direction. This new chapter opened doors to other life changing and even life saving paths for her. After falling in love with skating at the rink Devin has also begun exploring that passion as a park skater expanding her style and pushing herself in new ways. Her story is a powerful reminder of how skating can shape us guide us and bring us back to parts of ourselves we thought were lost.

    Sk8LikeYou Podcast Episode 81: Lauren Smyth & Jimmy Bee

    Season 7 begins with one of the most powerful and emotional stories we’ve ever shared on the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast. Our guest, Lauren Smyth, has been a lifelong skater whose love for roller skating has always been part of who she is. But six years ago, everything changed when she was diagnosed with late stage 3 ovarian cancer and since the diagnosis has progressed to stage 4.  Since that day, Lauren has been fighting for her life with strength, courage, and an unshakable spirit that continues to inspire everyone who knows her.   As devastating as this diagnosis was, what followed became something truly remarkable. During her fight, Lauren reconnected with her first love, Jimmy Bee — the same person she met years ago at the rink as a kid. What began as a childhood romance grew into something even deeper as adults. After living separate lives and building families of their own, fate brought them back together, reminding us that sometimes love really does come full circle. This episode is about more than just skating. It’s about love, resilience, and the way the rink can bring people together even in the hardest moments of life. Lauren’s journey is heartbreaking and inspiring all at once, and her courage represents the best of what our community stands for — strength, unity, and hope on eight wheels. There is also a way you can help. At this year’s Philly Fall Sk8 Bash, skaters from all over are coming together to support Lauren and her fight.
