💬 [J'en] cannot stand alone: [je] shortens before a vowel, and [en] replaces [du roller] so you do not repeat it. The same pattern works with other activities: [Tu fais du vélo ? — Oui, j'en fais.].

💬 [J'en fais] uses [en] to stand in for the activity after [faire de/du]: instead of repeating [du roller], French says [j'en fais]. You can reuse this with other hobbies: [je fais du tennis] → [j'en fais chaque semaine].
