Keith Walker

CEO + INSTRUCTOR

Keith Walker has been in the roller skating industry in some form for the last 35 years, he started training individual skaters in the casual artist style circa 2005 and created SKATEU as a formal training program in 2009. He is thankful for persistent friends and the pandemic, seeing the popularity of roller skating grow through viral videos on social media.

He made the decision to bring back his training sessions for those skaters that wanted to get back into the sport of roller skating safely.
