Sept 06, `05: Daniel E. The Netherlands - 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
Apr 12, `05: Susan Riner,  Durham, NC. USA 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. (Courtesy Amazon.com)
Jan 15, `05: Shaun Cations. Vic, Aust - 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 Amazon.com)
Dec 29, `04: Shannon C. QLD, Aust - I finished it one day. I could not put it down. Congratulations on a job very well done! 
Dec 24, `04: Caririe C. Chicago, IL USA - 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.

Dec 22, `04: Stacey C. QLD, AUST - 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.
Dec 08, `04: Dennis W. USA - 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! 
Dec 06, `04: Carrie C. Chicago IL, USA - 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!
Dec 03, `04: Daniel V. Melb, AUS - 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
Dec 03, `04: Prue N. Melb, AUS - I was reading your book this morning and you moved me in every way possible. I was crying so hard I had to wash all may make up off and start again..... and I am only up to chapter 6.
Dec 01, `04: Ilona K. Netherlands - Great book. Loved it!!!   
Nov 30, `04: Tara Read. QLD, AUS - 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..
Nov 29, `04: Joanne H. NZ - Your book arrived on Saturday and its really interesting. I am having trouble putting it down so that I can look after the family.  
Nov 21, `04: Royston. Melb, AUS - 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...  
Nov 15, `04: Tammy B. S.A, Aust - I'm halfway through your book and loving it! I cant wait to see how it ends.  
Nov 11, `04: Josh Rhoads. Flor USA - 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. 
Nov 09, `04: Royston. Melb, AUS - I'm so excited to have your book. I cant wait to read it.   
Nov 08, `04: Rachael Y. Melb, AUS - I've just hit page 106 and I'm absolutely crying my eyes out through both the highs and the lows. So far it's truly brilliant, I'm lost for words.  
Nov 07, `04: Bronwyn T. Melb, AUS -  I can't put your book down.. thank you so much! I feel like I'm living every moment with you. 
thankyou..
