Ryan Allen Carrillo has captured the eye of the world with his brilliant artistic skating abilities. While inline skating was not always a popular sport, it is now vying for a place as an Olympic event, due in part to Ryan’s inspiration.
Inline and artistic roller skating are a lot like ice skating in the way the skater moves. Many of the jumps and tricks are the same. However, because of the restrictions of inline skates, artistic skating has a higher degree of difficulty. For example, an ice skater can create figure eights and other feats on the ice by starting with a blank canvas and creating the pattern. Inline skaters must perform at the same level of perfection but are required to follow a designated pattern already painted on the floor or ground. Also, when performing a stunt such as a double axle or flip, an ice skater can dig deep into the ice to get leverage and gain height while an inline skater cannot. Instead, the inline skater must take off from a flat, solid surface, gaining power through the push off.

Former Britney Spears dancer Tj Espinoza was the emcee of the event and opened the show. The highlight of the night was a live performance from US Skating Champions Ryan Allen Carrillo (Madonna’s Sorry Video) and April Corley (Assistant Choreographer Madonna’s Confessions Tour.)
These were taken during the production of the music videoSorry (Paul Oakenfold - remix) in London. It was a blast, Madonna looked fabulous and I commend these guys for getting the skating and choreography down in only two weeks.
