About Jayson

Jayson’s first leap into writing was his autobiography ‘Rolaboi’ in 2004, by Zeus Publications. The tell all documentary ‘Rollerboy’ followed with Jayson appearing in a silver Lycra skin suit at the opening of the Sydney Film Festival on roller skates, apparently ‘outshining Cate Blanchett’. His pilot script ‘The Rink’ and feature script ‘Dark Horse’ both received a ‘Recommend’ by WeScreenplay.

Channelling his superheroes including the Bionic Woman and Kylie Minogue, Jayson lives to skate. Across twenty years on the international circuit he challenges the stereotypes and conventions of the skating world; his pursuit of gold and glory fueled by an insatiable quest for fame and a deep personal secret that drives his alter ego to achieve his dream at all costs. On the 20th Anniversary of his first world championship he finds himself thirty-five years old and still living at home with his mum... is it time to retire?
