My name is Abdul-Malik Ford and I’m raising $5000 to take my roller skating journey to the next level. Any amount helps! I will be competing in the Regionals USA ROLLER SPORTS Artistic Roller Skating Competition on June 20 through June 22nd, and the USARS Nationals tournament July 29th - August 2nd. Competitive roller skating is extremely expensive and is fairly innaccesiblenfornmy budget, so from now until then, I will be using these funds to
⭐️upgrade my skating setup to a Risport Mercurio boot with Roll Line Mistral Plates ($1100 total) ✅
⭐️bearings + wheel replacements ($300)
⭐️Pay for 1 on 1 coaching (~$660+)
⭐️ attend 40+ skating class sessions ($600+)
⭐️Transportation costs from Tacoma - Seattle multiple days a week from now until 7/31 (~$640)
⭐️Regionals registration ($90 + event costs)
⭐️Nationals registration (TBD)
⭐️Plane tickets for Nationals (~$350)
⭐️ Gas for Portland Regionals ($70)
⭐️ Hotel expenses(~$600)
⭐️Exercise Equipment: Bosu ball, Slant board, etc. ($300+)
If you’re interested in also receiving a piece created by me, I suggest you to to my website and order something! (www.Threadgoldz.com), I’m using half of all sales from there to fuel my skating dreams!
For events, I plan to do a pairs event, a creative solo, and a solo freestyle event!
