The starting signal
I am a passionate and versatile inline and roller skater who loves and lives skating. Driven by this enthusiasm, I began creating my own video and skate tutorials in 2016 to help others get started in the world of skating.
It quickly became clear to me that inline skating was far more than just a hobby. It represents freedom, balance, health, physical and mental fitness, friendship, courage – and so much more. This realization marked the starting point for SkaMiDan.
Skate Trainer with Passion
I was born in 1989 and grew up in the small, idyllic village of Haltingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. There, I had the great fortune of growing up in a friendly neighborhood that always helped one another and celebrated together.
But why am I telling you this? For me, inline skating embodies these exact values: joy, passion, openness, community, overcoming fears, experiencing shared successes, and the pure zest for life. Skating is like a small yet global family spread across the world.
It fills me with purpose to pass on these values. In skating—just like in life—it’s not about being better than others. Comparisons like that never lead to true happiness. So, what do we want in life? We want to be happy, have fun, and overcome the obstacles we face.
That is what drives me and makes skating so special to me.
And what does all of this have to do with skating?
For me, it’s a great joy to help others achieve their goals. It fulfills me to see the smiles and wide grins you have in my courses when you finally master a long-awaited trick or a new skating technique.
It makes me happy to witness how, with my support or that of my colleagues, you discover and learn a shared hobby as a family—a hobby that brings you just as much joy as it brings me and strengthens your bond as a family.
That, to me, is the true essence of skating: growing together, supporting one another, and sharing unforgettable moments.
Incredibly beautiful and motivating feedback
What could be better than direct feedback in the form of a smile?
Not much, right?
Well, there is something else: the wonderful feedback I’ve received as a skate trainer. These moments stay vividly in my memory and bring me joy every time. Here are some of the most memorable ones that I love to look back on:
-
"Thanks to you and your videos, I discovered inline skating. However, with my excess weight, it was almost impossible for me to feel safe on skates.
Without you and your patience as a trainer, I would have given up skating quickly. Thanks to you, I’ve reached my normal weight and now live a happy life again."
-
"We had been searching for a hobby that we could enjoy as a family for a long time. However, our fear of slopes and braking had held us back.
Thanks to you, we can now move more than just confidently on inline skates. We regularly go skating together, which has brought us closer as a family.
For that, we are infinitely grateful to you!"
-
"Our son was terrified of going to school—more precisely, he experienced a kind of panic. Giving a presentation in front of the class or raising his hand during lessons was utterly impossible for him.
Thanks to your aggressive inline skating courses, he learned to overcome fears, fall down, get back up, and achieve self-set goals. Like a miracle, he lost his fear of school and failure through this experience.
He is finally happy and shares so much with us again about his daily life and school."
