@kurilpaderby 2025 was such a beautiful day — big love to all the skaters, artists, dancers, derby crew, pups, and community who made it magical. ✨

Together we created a space to belong in, not compete for — centering beginner-friendly workshops, creative expression, and respect for every identity and ability.

Deep gratitude to all the We Skate team, our amazing volunteers, family, friends and community members who made this event possible. ❤️ And @gayskatebrisbane for the tees

Thank you also to @donnyfraser_ @rumble.sb @skate.australia @weskateqld @respectisrad team and all for your ongoing support, and a huge shout-out to @kurilpaderby and the West End Community Association (WECA) for hosting such a joyful, inclusive celebration.

We can’t wait for many more We Skate adventures to come!
