From the time I started roller skating I always dreamed of being able to do a flip on skates. […] One day at the skate park I was determined to land a front flip. I told my friends that I wanted to try to front flip and they all gathered around the quarter pipe to watch me." One time I split my chin and had to get 27 stitches. Also, when I first attempted a front flip I over-rotated and slammed on to my stomach, breaking some of my ribs.”Our range of Moxi skates includes the Beach Bunny model, as well as their flagship Lolly style.

The incredible stunt earned the then-15-year-old, from California, USA, the record for most people barani flipped over from a quarter pipe on roller skates. When we asked her what her source of inspiration was, she told us: “All the skaters around me really inspire me. [They] really pushed me. […] Watching them improve and work hard inspires me more than anything!”Because I am flipping over people and I can’t really bail out or have an unsuccessful attempt, because I could be endangering someone.” Then one day, Mia’s friend Jake suggested that she try to flip over him while he lay on the ground. She took some persuading but, within a few days, she was flipping over nine people in a row. Well, Mia used to spend hours practising every day. And now, as a busy 16-year-old, even though she has less free time, she still manages to skate a few times a week.

I was usually pretty confident in my attempts, but I always knew my limit. I would never try and push it and see if I could go farther than I knew I could. Mia has been named as one of Guinness World Records' Young Achievers and will feature in our 2024 book, which goes on sale very soon. As she told us, her main source of motivation are her fellow skating friends: “All the skaters around me really inspire me. [They] really pushed me. […] Watching them improve and work hard inspires me more than anything!” I would probably try and attempt to get the highest flip now. Since I got the longest flip over people I think it would be awesome to attempt the highest flip too!” These retro-style quad skates adapt to fit kids from sizes 13 – 2 (UK) with an easy-adjust closure.Try to find a hobby or sport that you love!
