When Christy's nephews bought her a skateboard for her birthday, she couldn't let them down...so she booked in for a lesson with Galskate at The Shred House and soon found herself rolling around a halfpipe with a big goofy grin on her face! A new obsession is born...

She chatted with coach Ali throughout the process, who told her about the many and surprising benefits of skating. You can find Ali on Instagram here  and the Shred House here.
