Revolution Skate Shop – Blog

The future of our sport depends on creating new generations of rollerbladers to keep it alive. We take a lot of pride in Arizona to produce such skaters in not only ability, but also give them a full understanding of rollerblading inside and out.

Xathan Stewart skates everyday, he has endless energy, and is determined to progress his skating. He’s the skater who’s always anxious at the shop, motivating his friends to head out and skate. He just got his license, so he’s able to drive to spots now. But, before that he would have his skates on for pretty much an entire day while riding shotgun. What is even funnier, we shot an early Revolution Ad at an Arizona skatepark 6 years ago for Daily Bread Magazine where we had skaters who were randomly at the park pose in the background. Xathan was one of the skaters – check it out here. (Xathan is the skater on the right)

We brought Xathan along with us on one of our 90 Second Filming Trips down to Tucson, AZ. We figured it would be a good experience for him. Xathan ended up lacing a 180 down a pretty hefty set in the downtown area of Tucson.

“Xay” is part of the next generation of skaters coming up, we’re proud to have him be a part of our Arizona scene.
