It is impossible to put into words how much Baby B will be missed and how surreal it feels that he is gone. He is an irreplaceable icon in the Atlanta and broader skate community. Skaters would share fond memories of him helping them pick out their first real pair of skates and proudly take pictures of him lacing up their own children's skates. Many folks would linger at the skate shop listening to him share stories and anecdotes or watching him playfully greet the neighborhood dogs and cat that would stop by to say "hello."
He could always tell when you were having a bad day and would do his best to make it better. His empathy and kindness brought comfort, hope, and healing to many. It was clear that one of his life goals was to be a positive force in the community and he achieved that legacy. While we are heartbroken that our time with him could not last longer, we will be forever grateful for the beautiful memories and life he shared with us.
If you would like to help honor his memory, please see his family's GoFundMe link in the bio and/or share pictures/video for the @SkateEscape memorial for him 💗

Thank you all for an incredible 7+ years! We are so grateful for the beautiful memories made and awesome folks we've met. It was wonderful to have a mini skate family reunion during the final weeks of the shop and to catch up with so many of you! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the shop and/or who sent farewell messages! And thanks to so many of you who've shown so much love and support throughout the years!
Huge shout-out to the RollATL team--Kat, Alice, Melina, and "B" for holding it down at the shop in the busy final days. And a special thank you to all our former team members who contributed so much to the business and to the greater skate community. Your work truly made a difference!
While RollATL may be closed, we know the legacy will live on in the local Atlanta skate community and beyond. 💗🛼

It is with a very heavy heart that we have some sad news to announce. Due to increasingly high operating costs as well as instability in the market and supply chain, we have made the extremely difficult decision to close RollATL skate shop.
We are so grateful for all the wonderful memories made and incredible folks we’ve met! Thank you for supporting our small business over the past seven and a half years.
Our last day open will be Sunday November 30th.
Sincerely,
Teshia and the RollATL Team
@cottin.mouf was one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. He always made sure my skates fit right, were tight and adjusted just right. Even if you were a complete stranger coming in off the belt line into @rollatl and you still would get treated like family. He will truly be missed 🙏
