Patrycja Najda (Pati) – she was taken under Powerslide wings and became one of the most known women skating aggressive in Poland. Thanks to Patrycja, who is a true “roll-model”, more girls and women are picking up the sport and rushing / whooshing / hitting the skateparks. She is also a very versatile skater – in fact, in her early days she skated freestyle slalom and even achieved a high level of skill in it. Later on, aggressive inline has stolen her heart, but prior experiences helped her to forge unique style. Least to say, she was doing toe rolls before they became fashionable.

Like most of us, Patrycja has started teaching others long before becoming a certified instructor. Her style of work is all about focus on details and exercises which take you, step by step, to successfully landing a new trick. Privately, Patrycja is a very open and social person. You’ll surely find out by yourself, as it is basically guaranteed that she will be the one to come up with many fun initiative – a true life and soul of the party!
