Hey, Jenna, Tell us about yourself:
My name’s Jenna Downing, I’m 22 years old and I’m from a small town called Barnsley in South Yorkshire, England. I’m a professional rollerblader and sports ambassador.

How long have you been rollerblading for?
I have been rollerblading for over 15 years now, since I was 7 years old.

When did you first get Sponsored? (any company)
I got my first sponsor at the age of 8, it was a local sports shop called Soul Motion. I then got picked up by Puberty and Anglo clothing (all you old school rollerbladers out there will know about Puberty and Anglo!) and then I was put on the K2 team shortly after winning the IISS World Championships in 1996.

When did you first turn Pro?

I turned pro at the age of 12 at the ASA European Championships in Paris making me the youngest female rollerblader in the world to ever turn pro. [...]

Coco Sanchez is quickly becoming known across the globe in the Rollerblading scene. She is one of the new generation of Ladies to show the boys that she can hold it down with the Rollerblades just as well. Here is a very good read which shows her dedication to Rollerblading. I present to you the 5W’s with Coco Sanchez.

WHO were some of your influences when you first started Rollerblading?

CS: I started skating 6 years ago in Atlanta, GA. Rollerblading was big and the skate sessions were huge. The local skaters took me under their wings and before I knew it, I had a crew to look forward to skating with every weekend. It was the kids that I skated with that pushed me and influenced me to get to the next level. These crazy guys made Rollerblading happen for me…Brian & Carson Starnes, Josh Waggoner ( R.I.P.), Richard Williams, David Sizemore, Chris Smith, Anthony Timmons, and many more.

However, my number 1 influences never put on a pair of skates, and they are my parents’ Kim & Vince Sanchez. My Mom bought me my first pair of Rollerblades and my Dad pushed me more than anyone and is my biggest supporter. When we lived in ATL, my Dad would take the crew to contest after contest in this giant White van getting our names out there. I’m so grateful for having parents who understand how in love I am with Rollerblading and knowing that they will always have my back. [...]
