RASA documents the last few years from the small marshy islands of Cork Ireland. It’s the story of late-night sessions, friendships forged, and the passion that keeps us skating. Our scene has taken many forms since its rise in the ’90s but never lost its beat. RASA aspires to unveil the essence of our community and our take on in-line skating. A Film by Morgan Lynch.

I never would have thought putting on my first pair of skates when I was 12 that I’d still have a set on when I was 31. This sport has completely changed my life ; given me a set of close friends that I can count on for life, brought me on countless trips around the world that have so many fun memories and shaped a large part of who I am today.

Someday when my kids make the mistake to call me uncool I look forward to pushing play on these videos and saying ‘oh yeah, can you do this?’ Enjoy! – Patrick O’Sullivan (FB).

PS: big thanks to Morgan for convincing me to dust off my skates and give it one more go as well as filming and editing this for me, and Gary and Brian for chipping in with some filming as well, much love my brothers!
