Endless Opportunities

The Elliot Stevens Interview Manchester’s Elliot Stevens has a lot going for him right now. The twenty-three-year-old has a flourishing modelling career, appearing in several Topman campaigns over the past couple of years, a beautiful girlfriend (who also models) and a list of sponsors that most rollerbladers would kill for. He also has the ability to envisage and execute innovative tricks on obstacles that most bladers wouldn’t give a second look. We decided to catch up with one of the most creative skaters in the UK scene to find out more about this exciting period in his life.

Elliot has been one of the most recognisable figures in UK blading for several years due to his distinctive style and massive trick vocabulary. If you have attended any major rollerblading event in the UK over the past five years, you will have witnessed Elliot’s technical rail skating and exceptional ability to link lines together like Britain’s answer to Jeff Stockwell. It’s a good thing for us that he chose to put down the hockey stick and get into “aggressive” rollerblading all those years ago.
