It was built with the skater's needs and interests in mind.
The site contains over 175 pages of content which includes
news, editorials, a communications/message board, pictures
of skaters, a calendar of events, directory of skating rinks,
links to other sites and businesses and much more. Averaging
1.5 million hits per month, SkateGroove serves as the media
for roller skating entertainment, by promoting the event through
online advertisements and posting photographs that were taken
during an event. Skaters who attend these events provide feedback
through our "Represent Yourself" message board.
And, if they want to continue that roller skating excitement,
they can visit the Skate Jamz calendar to see where the next
event is being held and make plans to attend.
Skaters
have also used the message board to get information about
skating sessions at rinks, where to buy skates, make business
deals or simply introduce themselves and make new friends.
SkateGroove
Entertainment has been credited for assisting with the casting
of roller skaters as skate doubles and extras for the 2005
motion picture "Roll
Bounce" starring Bow Wow, Meagan Good, Nick Cannon
and Wesley Jonathan by Fox Searchlight Pictures/State Street
Pictures.
In 2007, SkateGroove
was once again asked by Chelsea Productions to not only help
cast skaters for a McDonald's commercial, but to assist with
the choreography, coordination on the set and still photography
during the commecial shoot.
