DuttySkates

Hello!! I’m Yigale Nyado, taking on the persona DuttySkates when I hit concrete/wood. I graduated with a BA.Honors in Economics and work as a Retirement Specialist in Charlottetown, PEI which helps fund my skate obsession & growing hobby list. Juggling ways to weave several passions in poetry/storytelling, dance, photography, film, and music, I picked up rollerskating between the pandemic funk a yr/half ago with the goal of practicing everyday to get better! As part of my [NOW COMPLETED] 365skatechallenge, I pushed myself to be intentional, posting daily skate drills showing the highs and lows of grinding through skills. Surprised myself and can now claim park, rhythm, jam skate skills +counting as I grow more confident in the craft. Getting to skate multiple Gigs for my BIPOC & Queer community in and out of PEI, teaching friends and seeking out new outdoor spaces to roll has been beyond gratifying. I look forward to infecting unsuspecting strangers with skate joy and building a thriving community that supports each other!
