Price, Paul – Interview

What was your significance to artistic roller skating?
What a great question to start this interview. I guess in some way any athlete always wants to leave his mark on his sport. I would have to say that for me it was attaining the highest quality and athleticism I could achieve at a time when artistic roller skating was at its peak. People may only remember the World Championship medals I won or the way Tina (Kneisley-Dulong) and I pushed pairs skating, but I considered myself an individual athlete as well as a pairs skater. Although I never achieved skating as a single skater on the World stage, I was proud during the 1980 and 1981 season to be the only male skater to make it into finals in three World Class events (pairs, freestyle, and figures).

“You Got To Want To” by Bev Schien
That's our club motto. The Rollhaven artistic club knows that if you want clean jumps, you've got to want to make them clean. In 30 years of teaching, I've been fortunate to teach many excellent jumpers, including Paul Jones, Joe Irving, Rick Elsworth, Dennis Logan, Tim McGuire (three-time world champion), Todd English, and David Cox. Each had his own jumping style. It is important to bring out the best of each, instead of developing carbon copies. Some of the skaters were high jumpers, some were low, some rotated fast, and some slow. Most imporantly, though, their jumps had clean take-offs and landings.
