In L.A., it's arguable that rollerskating has stayed in fashion since the sport's height in the 1970s. There are operational rinks here and substantial derby leagues that serve a community of real enthusiasts and athletes. Part of that is owed to Michelle Steilen (a.k.a. Estro Jen), the founder of Moxi Rollerstakes, an L.A.-based rollerskate maker that not only builds skates that are high-fashion (they landed in Spanish Vogue last month) but also high-performance. Steilen was filmed skating all over L.A. using Bones skateboard bearings. The video premiered a few weeks ago and is definitely worth a watch, especially after minute 2, when the skating goes from artful and serene to totally bitchin'.
