Roxana Howlett looks back at 2017...

We were delighted to receive an update this week about our friend a all round skate superstar Roxana Howlett, prepared on her behalf by another legend - her Mum Emma 😄

Emma says:
"As 2017 is coming to an end I thought I would drop you a line to thank you for your continued support of Roxana.  It has been a great year for Roxana with skating and she's enjoyed every minute of it.  Below are some of her achievements this year.

• Battle of Hastings - 7th (out of 22 women)
• Buckland Jam - 1st in under 8s and Best trick
• UK Girls Skate Jam -  2nd in under 18s & 3rd in Sponsored
• Nass - 6th place
• Exmouth skate jam - 2nd in under 14 mini-ramp
• Exminster skate jam - 1st in under 13s
• Dawlish Skate Jam - 1st in under 13 mini-ramp

Roxana has also appeared in an advert skateboarding for Cartoon Network, appeared in the women's skate film Scratch The Surface, been photographed for a skateboarding book, gained new sponsors, and is now represented by Lucy Adams on an Athlete Management Contract".

Well, what can we say apart from a massive "congratulations!!" to this inspirational &

 uber-cool young lady - we're thrilled to have been a part of the skate action with Roxana in 2017 & can't wait to support her & see what she gets up to in 2018!    

In the meantime, check out this brilliant edit which she's shared with us:

Introducing skateboarder Roxana "Rox Sk8 Girl" Howlett...

It's always great to hear from young people with a real dedicated passion for their chosen hobby, so we were delighted to get a message recently, introducing us to Roxana Howlett.  

Roxana with a little bit of SMB booty to get her 2017 off to a flying start 💫

We were so impressed with the progress that she's made in just one year of skateboarding that we were delighted to immediately make her part of our little SMB skate family!  We will be looking forward to bringing you her news & updates as she continues her skateboard journey, but in the meantime you can follow her on Instagram @roxsk8girl or on her YouTube channel Rox Sk8 Girl.

Her very proud Mum, Emma, says:

"My daughter Roxana is 7 years old. She has been skating for less than a year and has a real passion for it. After school each day she runs straight through the house and out the back door onto her miniramp.  She skates every day without fail!   I'm not sure where she gets her talent from as none of our family skate so it's purely driven by her love for skating. 

Enuff skateboards are Roxana's deck sponsor and she features on their riders page here http://www.enuffskateboards.com/riders-page/"

We are sure that Roxana will be a star of the future, if she continues working just as hard as she is right now at her passion for skateboarding, & we're looking forward very much to being a small part of her journey.

Big loves from us all at SMB Bearings Roxana!
