This time around I've got an amazing interview with Jackie Wong of Rocker Skating. I'm sure everyone here already follows Jackie online. His website at Rockerskating.com is an incredible resource for skating analysis and news. And on Twitter, he's even better, providing play by play coverage of...

A quick update to add that in order to be accessible as possible, there's now a full transcript of this interview available on the website: https://manleywoman.com/episode-85-debbi-wilkes/ Thank you.

Just saw your birthday wishes. Thanks!!

Are these taken yet? I'm looking for two all event tickets for Boston nationals. Please PM or email me [email protected]. Thanks!
