Synopsis:
Vintage wheels, black knee pads and a helmet; a deterrent for some but not for 21 year old Rib. For the last few years, Rib has come to life through the concrete curves and graffitied grounds of Melbourne’s upper north suburbs. Her love for roller skating began at 17 when she put on her first pair of skates. Since then she has evolved into a talented and fearless skater-girl that’s on a roll. ROLLIN’ WITH IT is a five-minute documentary that celebrates the vibrant Rib and her love for roller skating, whilst commemorating the skate park that brings the diverse community together.
