Thank
you for the great book. Loved reading it,
even though it took me about two days,
because I just can not put it away.
I
really admired you for telling your life
story wide open to the world. The pictures
in the book were great to. Hopefully there
will be a DVD of your roller skating career
available soon! :p |

Jayson gives an open, honest and
heartwarming look into the up and downs that
have been his personal and skating life. I
found it inspiring. He gets back up every
time he's knocked down and inspires courage
to do the same. If you ever have been at a
crossroads in life you will relate to his
story.

This
beautiful work gives us an open and
confrontingly honest view into the life of a
world champion in a sport little heralded or
even known in his own country. It allows us
to share the journey of growth through life,
love, sport and sexuality of a man of great
character. A must read for all those who search
for honesty and compassion in a world often
devoid of both. (Courtesy

Rolaboi is a wonderful story about a man's
journey through life and his dedication,
participation, and love for an unknown
sport, artistic roller skating. The story
has heart and passion, much the way `Rolaboi'
skated during his impressive career. This is
a great autobiography that intertwines life,
sport, travel, and family.

Jayson...I
could not put it down. I read it in one
session and could start again right now. I
have never read a book where I have been
able to experience the story. Reading about
1995 and your dual win sent tingles up my
spine as I can still remember so vividly
that night. I sat with Mitchell, Rachael Y,
Emma Ramsey and Dale as we held our breath
for 4 mins. It was AMAZING. Your passion and
dedication to life is second to none and
Rolaboi is the most inspiring piece of
literature I have ever read. Thank you for
remembering Titanic. That was a special
night as that was our last competition and I
am glad we got to share the stage with such
a champion. I am honored. |

An inspirational book that everyone should
read (not just skaters). Beautifully written
with honesty and integrity. A real page
turner. I couldn't put it down and didn't
want it to end. Hope there's a part 2
coming! |

GREAT book. I can't put it book down. I am
almost done with the book and over the past
few days, I have been trying to sneak in as
much time reading it as possible. I can't
wait to finish it. You did a great job
capturing the emotion in the events and
people you wrote about. You are a great role
model in a sport that deserves more
recognition. It is nice to have a book like
this so people can get a little view into an
'unknown world' like roller sports. I also
enjoyed reading about people I looked up to
while I was skating, friends I know, and
even members of my family ;) I wish you much
success with your book. Best wishes! |

Wow I finished reading your book last night.
I must admit I'm not much of a reader, it
usually takes me a while to get into a book.
But with yours I was straight into it. I'm
amazed at what you've achieved in your life
so far, it really is incredible. What you
have overcome and how much you have put into
the one thing you are most passionate,
really is an achievement not to be sneezed
at. I have nothing but the utmost respect
for you as a person and I wish you every
success in the future. Not to mention, the
book was a bloody good read. |

For years you have been the skater I
have looked up to, you have always had time
to talk to me and you have always been down
to earth and just so lovely. After reading
your book I admire you even more for a
skater and the person I always knew you
were. You are amazing Jayson.. I hope I can
be as strong and ambitious as you have been.
You are inspirational as a person and a
skater. Thank you for everything..

You took me on a journey most people
could only dream of. Your lows were crushing
& your highs spectacular, but amidst all
that you stayed true to yourself and to your
sport. Your achievements can only be
described as outstanding, the goals you
reached in one year, most would not reach in
one lifetime. Your passion, your verve for
roller sports and life is worth bottling.
You have fascinated me, an enigma I yearned
to comprehend. Thank you for writing your
story...

- I
got your book in the
mail this morning - The book is absolutely
awesome, man! The
way you explained the lifestyle of a
competitive roller skater in this
world was ... perfect. Your love for the
artistry and the passion of the sport
... and life, was moving. Dude- when I read
the part when you won worlds - you
had me cryin like a fu@kin baby. I could
just put myself there ... after all
the years of fighting to the top ... and it
paid off. It was just really inspiring.
Anyway- Excellent, excellent job man. I'm
looking forward to finishing it. |
