Julia Göke – Skate Team

I'm Julia, and I come from a small village in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Lockdown hobby goes wild!

The roller skating fever really took hold of me in mid-2020.

Since then, I have learned some cool tricks and moves and have already been able to teach many people roller skating.

Profile

1. Year of birth:

1994

2. When did I start skating?

Mid-2020

3. Personal motto:

Fashion girl on skates pretty much sums it up.

4. Why SkaMiDan?

"To teach as many people as possible how to roller skate.
For this, we create detailed tutorials together that anyone can follow. "

5. Why do I skate for SkaMiDan?

Daniel is a crazy skate person himself, just like the rest of us on the team, and that simply makes it something special.

We all want to inspire other people with our passion, and that's what makes the team special.

6. Skate disciplines:

  • Park Roller Skating
  • Jam Skating

7. Which skate discipline do I feel most comfortable in?

By now, I definitely feel more comfortable dancing on skates than in a skatepark.

You can just go with the flow, listen to music, and have really relaxed skate sessions.

Of course, it's most fun in a group, when you come up with cool choreos together.

8. Favorite skate spot(s):

There are quite a few, but I prefer being somewhere in parks where it's green and you have good ground.

The basic requirement for a good session. :D

9. Biggest success in skating?

I actually filmed a TV spot right in Basel (Switzerland), which was really a lot of fun.

10. Inspiration

This includes several skaters such as Barbiepatin, who rocks the skatepark.

In jam skating, it's definitely Neonkeon "Fangirl-Moment", every move just looks super easy (which it absolutely is not). :D

11. Which trick impresses me the most?

When someone does a backflip out of a bowl, absolutely crazy (Park Skating).

12. Dream trick(s):

  • One Foot Spin (Jam Roller Skating)

13. Favorite trick(s):

  • Crazy Legs (Jam Roller Skating)

14. Favorite skate brand(s):

  • Chaya

15. Favorite skate(s):

  • Chaya Barbiepatin

16. Skate goal:

  • Develop my own skate.

17. Music while skating:

  • RnB
  • Old-school Hip Hop

18. What motivates me?

To get better, but also to switch off.

Skating is the best hobby to clear your head and get the endorphins flowing.

19. My tips and skate hacks for other skaters:

Baby steps are also progress, anyone can do it with regular practice, and even the pros fall down sometimes. ;)

20. My first skate that I started with:

That was a white heel skate, relatively cheap, which was already broken after a month.

21. Favorite movie or series:

The list is endless, but one of my absolute favorites is definitely Harry Potter.

22. Favorite food:

Chocolate counts too!

23. Am I excited by other things besides skating?

I admire people who like to cook for hours.

I also like to cook, but not necessarily for three hours straight. :D

24. Do I pursue other hobbies besides skating?

I love yoga and start everything in the direction of DIY, whether painting, sewing, knitting, or building some furniture.

25. Fun Fact / Personal:

I traveled for 2.5 years and had dreadlocks for a year. It was wild but cool. :D

Julia Göke – SkaMiDan Skate Team

The starting signal

I'm Julia, and I come from a small village in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Lockdown hobby goes wild!

I caught the roller skating fever in mid-2020, and it really took off from there.

Since then, I've learned some cool tricks and moves and have already had the opportunity to teach roller skating to many people.

In 2018, I traveled around the world, visiting Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. When I returned to Germany in March 2020 and the lockdown started, I discovered some amazing roller skaters on Instagram and immediately ordered my own pair of roller skates.

The 365 Days Challenge

In the beginning, it all started with the 365 Days Challenge – skating every day for a whole year.

Of course, that didn't last too long; the German weather just didn’t want to cooperate with me.

Well, I still somehow managed to skate a lot, and it turned into a real passion.

I just love being outside, learning something new, and feeling the thrill when landing a new trick. But the best part of it all was the community – how easily you can meet amazing new people.

The move to Amsterdam

In August, I moved to Amsterdam for work. There, I skated in huge skateparks and met many jam skaters. Thanks to them, I started dancing to music on roller skates.

There’s hardly anything as liberating as skating to music with good friends in a park on a sunny day. It makes you forget about everyday life and brings an incredible amount of joy!

The first tutorials, Chaya and SkaMiDan

In August 2020, I filmed my first tutorials for beginners, and after a few weeks, Chaya noticed me. By October, I was already signed by Chaya.

Since May, I am also proud to be a team skater here at SkaMiDan.

Julia and Jakob

At SkaMiDan, you'll find lots of videos of me showcasing a variety of roller skating tricks. You'll also find detailed and in-depth roller skating tutorials both here and on YouTube.

I simply love filming tutorials and sharing how I learned new tricks and moves. To be honest, I was the only one on roller skates in my village for about six months.

That’s why I’m even more excited to see that more and more people are getting into roller skating!

A little background

Maybe a little more about me and what I do outside of skating.

In January 2017, I completed my degree in Fashion Business Management, and afterward, I worked for a major fashion retailer as a Social Media & Marketing Cooperator.

Since 2025 – and even in the years before – I have been working as a Social Media & Content Manager.

Instagram and social media are totally my thing. I really enjoy creating cool photos and videos.

That’s enough about me – Happy Skating!

My favorite skate disciplines
