Welcome to the community @William_Richards!
My first thought based on the affect is to recommend setting the blue section to position: relative and the image to position: absolute so you can more easily control the position and sizing of the skates within the hero. This will take the image “out” from the document flow and prevent it from shrinking with the column it’s placed within.
That said, it’s going to be hard to recommend a specific solution to the issue without taking a closer look—would you mind including your read-only link?
