Well, Mia used to spend hours practising every day. And now, as a busy 16-year-old, even though she has less free time, she still manages to skate a few times a week.
I don’t skate for money,” she told us, “I skate for the happiness it gives me. I will definitely continue to skate, even when I go to college and get a profession.” Because I am flipping over people and I can’t really bail out or have an unsuccessful attempt, because I could be endangering someone.” When Mia had become confident enough in her skills, her good friend Jake suggested that she try to flip over him while he lay on the ground. She was nervous at first, and didn't succeed on her first try, but once she did it, it was like a dream come true!
As she told us, she doesn't want to skate for money: “I skate for the happiness it gives me. I will definitely continue to skate, even when I go to college and get a profession.”
By the age of 13, Mia had fallen in love with the sport and become a regular at the skate park, where she made a few good friends from the skating community. Depending on the Moxi model, the skates may be made from materials including a genuine leather or slightly more affordable animal-friendly materials. Some designs also have a vinyl boot, cushioned with ankle padding, while you may also appreciate an ergonomically designed collar for extra comfort. But whichever you choose, you can be sure comfort is at the top of the manufacturer’s priority list. I was thrilled! I couldn’t believe it, it seemed very surreal. I used to always look up to the people in this book when I was younger and now to be in it, it feels like a dream.” Contrary to what you might think, Mia didn’t start roller-skating until she was 11 years old. That year, her sister got a pair of skates for her birthday and they decided to go to the skating rink together. Our range of Moxi skates includes the Beach Bunny model, as well as their flagship Lolly style. All roller skates from this particular brand come in fabulous, eye-catching colours that are guaranteed to turn heads - and that’s even before people have seen you showing off your skills in them!
I would take baby steps until I could land the flip. It is not easy at first though, I would take some tough falls here and there! Mia is one of Guinness World Records' Young Achievers and will feature in our 2024 book, which goes on sale VERY SOON. 👀 These days, Mia competes on a regular basis, even though she is not planning on making a career out of it.
After a lot of practising, on 16 July 2022, Mia lined up 12 other skaters in Laguna Niguel and soared over them to claim her world record title. When we asked her what her source of inspiration was, she told us: “All the skaters around me really inspire me. [They] really pushed me. […] Watching them improve and work hard inspires me more than anything!” Mia has been named as one of Guinness World Records' Young Achievers and will feature in our 2024 book, which goes on sale very soon. When I first attempted a flip on roller skates I tried it into a foam pit,” Mia explains. “I got really comfortable with them into a foam pit and then onto an airbag. When I was confident with my rotation and the flip, I would start attempting them on cement. I would probably try and attempt to get the highest flip now. Since I got the longest flip over people I think it would be awesome to attempt the highest flip too!”American teenager Mia Peterson landed an epic skating record after performing a barani flip over 12 of her friends.
