    Falling in love, on wheels

    Domestic Picture Story
     
    “Skating by yourself is still great, but skating with someone else is just magic.” When Noah Doolady and Kev Presley met, it was as if they had known each other for years. Noah had always dreamed of having a skating partner, and had even bought 5 extra pairs of skates hoping to find someone to skate with. Now, he just calls up Kev. “When we skate, we dance. Our bodies are together and our movements become complementary.”

    “There’s nothing I love more than skating — other than, like, my mom,” Noah Doolady said as he tied the laces of his roller skates before leaving his home in the late afternoon of May 15, 2019. Noah has been skating since he was 5 years old.

    Noah always dreamed of having a skating partner to zip around town with. Although joined by a group of ducks in the early afternoon of May 23, 2019 at Stephen's Lake Park, he seeks the company of another skater. When the local roller rink closed early this year, Doolady, now 20, went and bought five extra pairs of skates “hoping that someone would skate with me.”
