Performer. Coach. Founder. Building the global inline figure skating movement.

One of the Most Complete Skating Careers on Record

Very few skaters have crossed every major discipline at a serious level. Most specialise in one. Some reach two.

Over more than three decades, Adam has competed and performed across:

Single skating on ice / Pair skating on ice / Inline figure skating, single, pairs and skate-less pairs / Quad skating, single and pairs / Aggressive inline skating, street and skate parks / Acrobatic and circus specialty performance / Full stage and circle acts.

He has held roles as chorus skater, soloist, principal, and specialty act headliner. Four Got Talent appearances across three countries. Cirque du Soleil specialty act. CirqueLife finalist across three disciplines, three partners, three countries.

He is still skating. Still performing. Still coaching.

The combination of disciplines, contexts, creative output, and years at the highest level is, by any reasonable measure, without precedent in skating history.

WORLD FIRSTS / RECORDS

When Las Vegas shut down during the pandemic, I stayed. I used the empty city as a creation lab. Working daily in my garage and on deserted streets, I spent that period systematically building new inline figure skating elements that had never been performed. New tricks. New combinations. New variations across single skating, pairs, and circus formats.

I stopped counting after 100.

He has started cataloguing new ONE Blades records on ONE Blades Records, the official platform for World Firsts and Records on ONE Blades EDGE.

ONE Blades Records

CirqueLife 2020. Three rounds. Three partners. Three different disciplines. Three countries. One of the most unusual competitive records in skating history.

Coaching and Community Building

When I stepped back from full-time touring, I moved into coaching. Not to fill time. Because I had seen what good coaching could do and how rarely skaters received it.

I worked with skaters across ice, inline, and quad. Served as Head Coach at Rollerworld Colchester, one of the UK's finest roller rinks. Previously coached at Fylde Coast Arena in Blackpool.

In 2021 I founded the Inline Figure Skating Open, one of the first global online competitions of its kind, bringing together skaters from more than 25 countries.

Building the Infrastructure the Industry Never Had

Alongside ONE Blades, four platforms have been built to serve the global skating community. Each has its own identity and purpose. Together they form the foundation of a new skating ecosystem.

ONE Blades Records

Live

The official platform for World Firsts and World Records on ONE Blades EDGE. Skaters submit verified attempts with original video. Entries are reviewed, archived, and recognised. A permanent record of inline skating progression.

onebladesrecords.one

ShowSkating.ONE

Live

A dedicated platform for the global show skating community. Connecting performers, productions, and skating professionals in one place. Built for the people who have spent their careers behind the curtain of the world's biggest skating productions.

showskating.one

CoachFinder.ONE

Live

A global directory connecting skaters, parents, and students with qualified skating coaches. Built to make finding the right coach simple, transparent, and accessible regardless of discipline or location.

coachfinder.one

Global Inline Platform

Live

The global video archive of inline skating. A searchable platform documenting inline skating from around the world. Built to give the sport the visibility and permanence it deserves.

globalinlineplatform.one

These platforms were built because the industry needed them. Not because it asked for them.

Building Something That Should Have Existed

After testing every inline frame on the market and finding the same flaws repeated across all of them, I started building my own. Not as a business idea. As a skater who knew exactly what was missing.

Most inline figure skating frames use three wheels. Three wheels give two balance points. Ice skaters train on a curved blade that creates three balance points. That gap changes how turns feel, how edges feel, and how jumps land.

ONE Blades EDGE was engineered to close that gap. Four wheels. Multi-rocker geometry. Toe stopper designed at the right angle, right material, right size. A frame built from the principles of ice skating, not adapted from something else.

But the product is only part of it.

ONE Blades is built to give skaters something the industry never has: a real share in the value they create. Through the Creator Program, skaters, coaches, and parents earn commission from the movement they help grow. Starting at 10 percent, scaling to 25 percent. Permanent progression. No resets.

The Skating CEO

I am not building a product company. I am building a movement.

After more than three decades inside this sport I have seen what it does right and what it gets consistently wrong. The talent is there. The passion is there. What has been missing is a system that actually works for the people doing the skating.

Skaters deserve better equipment. Creators deserve real economics. The industry deserves platforms built for skaters, not around them.

That is the role I have chosen to play.
