But during the coronavirus pandemic, an increasing sense of isolation re-ignited her interest in the hobby.
“I had been dealing with a lot of anxiety during parts of lockdown, I couldn't go to The Gym , which would have been an outlet for me, " She Said .
“So, when things started to open up a bit in terms of outside activity, I talked to My Friend about buying a pair of skates and it took off from There . ”
Kyla eventually started an Instagram page called Skate Social Belfast. Members regularly meet at well-known landmarks around The City .
This includes The Titanic slipway where The Infamous ship was launched.
“There is plenty of room, it's great ground for skating on and is really well lit, " Kyla said.
“It doesn't really matter where we meet, the main thing is People have told me it has really helped their Mental Health .
“We're a real community now and I can't imagine not knowing these People . ”
