From finding a pair of rusty roller skates in a garage, Jayson Sutcliffe went on to become a world champion in his sport, overcoming trial and hardship, bias and sexual abuse and the untimely death of his beloved brother. Jayson was the first artistic roller skater from Australia to win an individual medal at a Word Championship and went on to make history by becoming the first skater ever to win a world title on both roller and in line skates for figure skating.

From the Author: When my best friend gave me an autobiography as a gift for Christmas, my first thought was, ‘I don’t really read much’. Then, after reading only three chapters, I soon found myself at a desk enthusiastically tapping away on a keyboard, recounting my own life story. 

More recently, Sutcliffe's book 'Rolaboi, Renegade Skater' won the TaleFlick Discovery 'Book to Film' competition in L.A. In 2011, he extended his love of the sport to film with a feature documentary 'Rollerboy' produced by Beth Frey, and made its world premiere at the Sydney Film Festival. Jayson has dedicated more than three decades to the sport he loves working with young skaters in his hometown.
