... I only know of 3 figures on roller skates

so...  spring has sprung (in this hemisphere) and to celebrate the return of The Sun -- how about a skating-based challenge?  Any mini, the only limitation is that it has to be skating (when you're done).

Any interest?  Sculpts, conversions, or paintjobs on existing skaters!

Hopefully after this challenge there will be several more...  I know of a couple of miniatures that would look great on skates!

Bloodbowl\Fantasy football figures would work for roller skates.
Have to search for a figure to convert to using a skateboard.

Is it just me or is that really heavily photoshopped? Look at the knees and the elbows!

it's not photoshopped, just the camaeral is not liking the shade and is thus making it blurr up.

Yeah! Now I recognize the effect! I've gotten a couple of photos that where like that.

Fair enough, I thought it might be to disguise a horrible casting.  I just didn't know that BS could do knees.
