Roller skating is experiencing a powerful resurgence, and at the heart of this vibrant revival is Michelle Steilen, famously known as Estro Jen. As the visionary founder of Moxi Roller Skates, Steilen has redefined what it means to roll, making it an accessible and empowering pursuit for countless enthusiasts worldwide. We are proud and beyond grateful that Michelle took the time in 2021 to join the Fall Fling! What a cool human and inspiration to all of us here at camp! Maybe 2027 we can get her to come back!??

For Steilen, roller skating transcends mere sport; it’s a profound avenue for creative expression, building confidence, and forging deep connections within a supportive community.

The Moxi Philosophy: More Than Just Skates

Moxi Roller Skates isn’t just a brand; it’s a movement built on a philosophy that champions individuality and joy. Michelle Steilen’s personal approach to skating, characterized by daring tricks and an infectious enthusiasm, has become the cornerstone of the Moxi identity. Her commitment to pushing boundaries on quad skates has inspired a generation to see roller skating not as a nostalgic pastime, but as a thrilling, contemporary activity.

The brand’s colorful, high-quality skates are a testament to this spirit, encouraging skaters to embrace their unique style and fearlessly explore new challenges. This focus on personal growth and collective fun is something we at Blading Camp deeply resonate with, as we also believe in the power of shared experiences and learning from inspiring coaches.

Empowering a New Generation of Skaters

One of Steilen’s most significant contributions has been her ability to inspire and empower female skaters. Through Moxi, she has cultivated an inclusive environment where women feel encouraged to push their limits, attempt daring maneuvers, and find strength in their shared passion. This focus on building confidence and fostering a sense of belonging has helped Moxi become a cultural touchstone in the roller skating world.

Her work has undeniably played a crucial role in bringing quad roller skating back into the mainstream, proving that it’s a relevant and exciting activity for all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to hone your skills, the spirit of Moxi reminds us that the joy of skating is about the journey, the community, and the freedom of movement. It’s an ethos that aligns perfectly with the goals of camps like Blading Camp, where we celebrate all forms of skating.
