Ivan Parikov

Motivated by inline skating videos that piqued his interest, Ivan Pravikov, also known as ROT8TED, embarked on his blading journey in 2022. Along the way, he stumbled upon the captivating "Wizard of Wall Street" video, showcasing a unique blend of stylish skating executed with the grace of figure skating – a true embodiment of effortlessness and elegance.

Ivan was drawn to the state of flow described in the video, a sensation that continues to beckon him to this sport. For him, it's a harmonious fusion – one with the tool, one with the blade, and ultimately, one with the profound feeling of being in sync. Ivan's past pursuits include playing the piano and becoming a sim racer. However, his current focus is on honing his blading skills, relishing both the skill development process and the immersive experience of being in the flow.
