Sending a shout out to everyone who supported the LEO skate jam this weekend in Richmond. It is always an honor to skate at home in our very own backyard. We (Richmond skaters) don't have a steady adult skate session so anytime someone is hosting in our neck of the woods, we are down for support. Wiz....we thank you for sharing your day with us. VSC has been procrastinating having a cook-out for some time and this was the opportunity for us to just do the dawn thing since our friends and skate family were coming into town. We had a ball and it would not have happened without Netta. Ms. Netta knows how to make it happen with her fun loving bubbly personality and energized bunny: ) Special thanks to the Cruisers and Fayetteville Gliders. Didn't know you were coming to the cook-out but we surely enjoyed you especially on the patio with all the dance routines. To all the Leos, you are very special people. Special thanks to my girl Yvette and the Zodiac Beauties Friday night (Yvetter-Cancer/Aries,Breeze-Leo Baby, Lisa- Pisces, and Myself-Scorpio). The music was awesome and pounding with a deep roar sound from the All Star affair. It was truly a success. Hat's off to Spin, Fly Ty, Smooth B, Nile, Ed, Battle, StormanNorman, the Music Crew with the awesome sound system....and last our very own Smithfield entertainer where we do it on the 'wood' every Sunday night with "DJ C". A special shout to Tunisia from VSC my right hand and partner-girl you were truly missed at the cook-out, but I know you and Glenn were enjoying your vacation. Big Man VSC-PR and good friend - you and your family have a heart of gold. Something has to be said when goodness comes from the heart. I thank your family for opening up their home. Ms. Peaches and Jackie D thanks for your support and helping us put the menu together. Everyone played an important part getting the cook-out together......Atee, Ktee, Roderick, Dan, Mike, Jitt, Tonya, KeeKee, Lee, Shonda & Main St crew, and ALL who was filling up the coolers. We thank Big Man bowling crew and his o-workers they kept the grill going with fish and porkchops. Overall everyone supported the entire weekend and we truly appreciate your love and presence. A truly big thank you goes out to supporters Joi, Ms. Cheeks, Ms Tracey, Myra, Philly Mike, Synergy, QueenBee, Soul, (NY) Roy, Keisha, Champ, Skategroove.com, Urban Skate Links.com, Jivebiscuit.com, and the young lady who made the hotel reservations asuccess and provided directions - Ms. Delores bka Venessa-Sexcee Carmel. And bwo Chicago, DJ Swing thanks for the sounds - it was a pleasure to workwith you. We'll see you Sunday night back in Smithfield on the wood! Best wishes to all and please know that we always appreciate your support. Virginia Skate Connection is looking forward to planning our annual event "Va At Its Best" September 26-27.

Hey skate family, I would like to give my condolences, to Lamont for the loss of your son. I know its a difficult time for you, right now, but I am praying that you continue to have strength and guidance. I too, am going through a lot here at the homefront, with my dad and cancer, my dad is on a ventilator, and the cancer has spreaded so rapidly, and the doctors said he don't have long, and it is so hard to see someone you love go through so much. So may the God of Peace be with you, and your family, my fellow skate family. Be blessed.FrecklesP.S. Dre, call me, or email me, so you can tell me how your dad is doing.

Lamont-Anytime I hear of anyone losing a loved one it truly touches my soul because it brings back painful memories of my own. Please know that Virginia’s skate family is keeping you and your family in our prayers during this difficult time.

Because eventually everything becomes your past, but your memories of him will always last. His smile so bright it will bring you to tears, And thoughts of him you will now hold through the years. You saw him born and felt the joy,

Your beautiful son, your baby boy. Hold your head high for you are strong, a difficult journey is usually long. And so this journey you must surely bare, life is hard and definitely not fair.

So look to the heaven’s at the very least, And may God’s love bring you and your family peace!

“When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place”.

God Bless,

Hello skateworld...just wanted to take time to say to the Dyme Rollers and SWS apparel aka Superwoman aka Stacie aka...you know I gotta keep it clean (smile) You my ______
!!!

Wow...where do I start? The skate high that I'm still on...or what? What a time I had rollin' with you all in the Nati....haven't rolled so hard in months. Felt good to be OFF THE CLOCK......and able to get my skate on....because that's exactly what I did. If I missed a hello or the usual hug to anyone....IT WASN'T MY FAULT. Can't even charge it the the mind.....But you can blame WIZ and SPIN...I've heard all the name calling..but I think the Dynamic Duo has to be the best. I was is awe on the skate floor rollin with the "flava" you pump out..but has anyone ever took the time to literally just watch these two put it all together? Their rhythm/beats are ones to NOT play with.

NEWS FLASH: !!!! Do not come to any skate party just ready to skate...you better be ready to ROLL and HARD if DJ WIZ AND SPIN OR ON DECK!! You two are just amazing and I love working with you, rollin' with you and getting to know you. All I need to know is where will you be and trust I'm gonna try to be there too. Just gotta give you your props, I haven't skated since Nati....don't wanna come off this "high" you two left me on....especially with the mixer of music that is here in Naptown. Think I'll just sit out and wait until I see you two again in Atlanta baby....give it to me when I get there too!! LOVE YA.

SWS and the Dyme Roller everything was on point!! Keep it coming!!

Plans are in the makings for Sherri's Skate Productions 25 and Older National Roller Skaters Reunion in Chicago, IL July of 2009, during and after The Taste Of Chicago. So start planning financialy for this one. I've added lots of entertainment, and a lil something for everyone. Won't let it out just yet....get the flyer in the coming weeks in Atlanta and thereafter.

Whooooo it's been a while since I shouted.....what's up skate Family? I have been on a sabbatical dealing with college young adults, health and all that good stuff and haven't been traveling much. Many shout outs to my daughter and partner in skate - Rasheda off to a second year in college and that son of mine - Barry 1st year at Cheyney. Wishing many blessings and God's grace and mercy over them both, with much love from their mommy, ms val. As a single parent and able to send 2 kids to college - I know God is i control!!

Unfortunately, it will be a minute before I take to the skate floor as I go under the knife for surgery and ask you all to keep me in your prayers. God is in control! To all the Skate Jams I missed this year, especially Midwest Allstars, Carolina Cruisers, Chicago, and my Dyme Rollerz (the first skate jam that hooked me and my daughter), We truly wanted to be there but couldn't make it. I hope to make the next Ohio jam - hosted by Ms Queen Pepper herself, Lord willing.

So much has transpired in the skateworld over the years, old and new school groups....the young at heart steppin up...do yall thang..and the old gettin better..we do our thang too. Remember, if something has consumed you and you haven't consumed it you have made it Lord over your life. Let's be careful in getting caught up in what started out as fun. Just some spiritual news.

Special shout outs to: Diamond, Kappa Chris, Isi, Dre, Pepper, Tae Woo (Dontay), Wes (little peper), Bee 1, Sly, Soul Dream Team, Poetry (you doing ok man?) I have 2 ask..don't want 2 send Madea LOL :) Erica,Vanessa and Tyrone (pgh crew), monique and groove, and all yall...much love to ya..I'll be back, Lord willing.

Wheeeewwwww!!!! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU, TO EACH AND EVERY SKATER THAT CAME TO OHIO SK8 XXPLOSION 2008!!! Myself and the Dyme Rollerz had an absolute BALL being hostess to you and enjoying your company at OUR collaboration. I personally would like to thank the Dyme Rollerz of Columbus,Ohio. I've known you ladies for several years. And as we all have been apart of other groups and clubs, I've watched how you ladies handled yourselves and how you handle business. That is why I felt for us to collaborate would be the best not just for myself but for skate world in general. There were no egos here. We all handle our business and did it WITHOUT ANY DRAMA!!! And I just want to say, "Thank YOU, Dyme Rollerz"!! Now we have about 3 weeks of rest before we get ready for next year!!(smile)

Major Shout Out and Much Love to Rei Robb for that BANGIN song he recorded for US and the one we rolled to on roll call!!!

1ST of ALL shout out to OUR Serial Killin DJ'S . DJ WIZ, we love you like the fugitive outlaw brotha you are to Us. Skater's, I had a case against him, DJ Spin, and DJ Narsisstic. THE MAN(PoPo) was ready to take them away cause he witness their crimes himself. But do you know that "Baby Face Killa" talked his way out of being arrested. DJ Narsisstic ran like he just made the final cut on the US Olympic Track team. AND DJ Spin went down all alone! But don't feel bad for him. Cause this brotha surprised us by showing up and getting on the 1's and 2's with his crime partner and killin us. Seriously though WE can't thank DJ Wiz and DJ Spin enough for all their hard work and love that they showed us.

To My B.O.W's (Brothas On Wheels): My Baby, Breeze. Thanks for your patience & understand when you had to deal with my evil twin, Shaniqua. Thanks for being a floor guard but remember on "roll call" you was still on the clock so your pay was docked for reppin another crew.(LOL).

Hey there skate world,
I just wanted to stop by and say that I had a great time in Cincinnati this past weekend. Hats off to Ms Rollin Diva and the Dyme Rollerz for such a seamless function. Let's put it like this. I had so much fun that by time it was over I was sweaty. ( I hardly ever sweat). I f DJs Wiz and Spin are gonna do that kind of damage, I'll be sure to bring me an extra outfit to the next party. The only downside was that all the chicken got kidnapped before I got to the food. I guess I moved a little too slow. You think?. I'm also glad that Chi-Force & Chicago's Most Wanted came down to represent Chicago. You all definitely got down on the roll call. I also want to to say hey to Rick (Nati), Da Main Eventt (Nati), Salim (Nati), Robyn (Detroit) my road dog Earl ( Chicago), and also my M.I.A. folks Dre (Chicago) I just want you to know that your father is in my prayers and I hope he has a speedy recovery. And Sandra (Nati) I know you read this page so please give me a buzz sometime. Well I'm outta here for now. My next stop will be in Atlanta. I hope to see everyone there.

What is happening skate world? I have to say that this was the first Skate Explosion that I attended and it won’t be my last. The ladies of Dyme Rollers and SWS Appearal came together and through a party. I thank you ladies greatly. I walked out with feet of fire and my clothes looked like I was in a wet t-shirt contest. It was well organized and put together. You all did the darn thing. The DJ’s that were in the building I am finding are a dangerous combination on the turn tables together. Big ups to DJ’s Wiz and Spin once again the two of you blew the roof off the place.

Now for my shout outs: Trendsettas Family (Bee 1, Wes, Rico, Tay Wu, TK, Doo Doo), 216 Allstars Family(Joy, China, K’La) C-Land Family (Pepzi, Storm, Raw Talent, Spades, Queen Of Spades, Crash Dummy) My big brother Wes Jiggs, SK8 Kings/Queens Family (Smoov), Skateology Family (Honey Dip, Stretch), The Dynasty Family, Mechie, Sincere, Lisa, Mom & Pops, Mz.

Thank you Sweet T and Sxy Blk for making me feel welcomed when I strolled through Columbus (and offering to change my tire. LOL!) I know I missed so many of you but shout outs to you all as well.

I tip my hat to everyone and until we roll again God bless.

I just wanted to drop a quick note and say thank you for all of the support that you provided during the journey to the Ohio Skate Explosion! This was the sixth party that I have been a part of putting together and was the best. The success of a skate jam hinges on all parts working together for the good of the whole. Many people acknowledge the big things but sometimes leave out the little. Positive people, their encouragement, enthusiasm, and their prayers were all an integral part of our success, whether or not you were at the jam or not, and I want to thank all of you for giving that to us. May God continue to bless all of you and all that you do. May He continue to provide a hedge of protection, peace, and prosperity around all of us and our families. Have a wonderful week!

Sorry for the late post but I've been a bit under the weather. The Midwest Allstars organization would like to personally thank ALL those who took the time out their busy schedule to attend our 3rd Annual Weekend in Wisconsin skate jam last weekend (July 18 & 19). We were extremely appreciative at the overall response in attendance and are looking forward to seeing everyone again, along with more faces. I would like to thank all those who participated in the events planning - Bam, Nay-Nay (Bam Jr.), Dnay "Chocolate Lace" (Irish Cream), Naomi "Tick" (TNT Rollers), Jai, Dwayne, Josh "Mr. Magnificant", Kim Possible, Teresa, Kenya "Sinful Delight", Kevin, myself, and Greg "Da Mayor". Had work pays off!!!!

If you missed Karaoke during the meet and greet Friday, you missed out on a good time. Rufus & Rufus - We couldn't of done it without you. Thanks to everyone that came out to support our visitors and I hope that they all enjoyed the evening. For those that got on the mic and braved the crowd - WOW, Kevin (thanks for being the MC), my Flint ladies (Medina & Nay-Nay), Angelo & Greg (ya'll had us rolling), Kim, Greg, Kenya, Dwayne, Bam & Bam Jr, Darlene (Pittsburgh), Naomi & Miss Little Rock (AK). We had a blast!!!! You better ask somebody. To close out the session, we killed it with all the ladies doing a group song, then the man followed suit. Much love for everyone who didn't sing but came out to support & signed the banner. Westside Rollers - thanks for bring our crew from Nebraska. Bodyguard - you disappear too much! Tony and Brian - I saw ya'll Fluffy - tell Kevin to stop trying to be Superman. Darlene & Gerald (Pittsburgh) - it was a pleasure. My girls from Flint, Medina and Nay-Nay - look me up anytime ladies. TNT crew - ya'll was late, late, late… Cole - nice doing business with you bro! If I missed anyone, I blame it on being ill cause I can't remember everything. Friday night, everyone looked blissful in white. I thank all those that supported the dress code, you looked great.

Saturday the devil was working because it rained most of the morning and we got a late start on the cookout. We are working on making changes next year so this won't happen regardless of where we are at. Unfortunately, I was in and out of the cookout so I didn't get to socialize with everyone. Sista girl had to get my hustle on with ticket sales….Next year I WILL BE GETTING WET!!!! Greg, CD Man, Josh, Kev, "Lace", Kenya, Bam - I know it'll be on!!!! Did ya'll CD Man can run his buns off!!!! Hey Ce-Ce. Angelo, thanks for bringing the Bogus Boys. Mil-Town I saw ya'll ladies. I hope everyone enjoyed the fellowship. For Roll Call, I thank those skates that made the trip to make the skate experience that much better - IL, NE, GA, MS, PA, AL, MI, IN. Milwaukee and Chicago (too many to name) was definitely deep in the building. Words can't express how much we appreciate the "next door" love. Let's keep it going.

Chi-Force - G, Silk, Will, Matt, Q, First Lady, love ya'll. Hey Matt, how's that light switch that G put on the back of your neck???? I enjoyed your company. If it wasn't for ya'll, I wasn't sure if I was going make it Saturday night. We are FOREVER family! Tiff "Chemical Reaction" of TNT - thanks for the culinary skills in the kitchen. For partner in crime, "Lace", thanks for pushing me to keep going. Bam - girl we are EXPLOSIVE!

First, I want to thank everyone who took the time out of their day to wish me a Happy Birthday thru SkateGroove, MySpace, Text msg, and Phone calls. It felt like a Holiday to me, and you all really made me feel loved!! Much Love to you all and I appreciate you all for sharing a moment of the day with me. I would love to shout every individual name, but there were about 200 text msgs, and more than 75 MySpace messages.

Second, Happy Birthday to the rest of the July Babies and the Cancer Fam; Suga(KY), Kronic Daze(OH), Ms Rollin Diva(OH), Dre(CHI), Tracy(NJ), Silk(CHI), D-Millz(CHI), Mr Magnificent(CHI), Eric(NY), Mo(ATL), Silkpiece(NE), and anyone I missed.

Third, I want to thank everyone who came to the skate sessions I hosted during the July 4th weekend, Friday and Sunday at the Rink. It was our way of inviting you all to roll with the home crowd at least once in the year. DJ DMC and I have been collaborating to encourage skaters to stay for Sunday night since 2004, and the house was buzzing as usual. But this is the first time there was a Friday night option. Much love to the First Friday crew, Ab for asking me to be a Host that night, and Nizm (SK) for sharing your Hosting duties with me Friday night. Also, much love to the Ladies of JB, QB Hot, JB Bootcamp, D-Millz of JBX, and Tito of JB ELITE, for all of their hot performances. Also, much love to the DJ’s of both nights, DJ T-Rell (JBX), DJ T-Mac (SK), and of course DJ DMC.

I have to give a special thanks to my National Fam for your support: Canada- Rob & Brenda. ATL- Dragon Attack, JiveBiscuit, Capital Rollerz, Trish & Mike, Mo. CA- Portia. DC/MD- Renee(JB), Smokey, DK. NSC- Bridget. FL- Ol’ Skool. IN- Naptown Real Rollers. KY- Syncere & Milkshake. MI- Gadget, Ace, Don K. NE- SilkPiece. NY/NJ- Fly Ty & crew. OH- Dyme Rollerz, 614 Dynasty Rollers, Wes Jiggs, Bee 1 & Trend$ettas, C-Land FreeStylers, Sk8 Kingz, Akron, 216. PA- Philly Mike. STL- Skills on Wheels, D-Nice Ent, Rainbow, STL Rollers, Felix. TN- DreamGirls, Nashville Rollers, Helena, and I think there was another crew there but I can’t picture the name. TX- Undefined Sk8rs-Jontae & Britt. VA- Tunisia (VSC). WI- Irish Cream, TNT Rollers, W.O.W. And I know I’m missing quite a few people but I just can’t remember right now!! Charge it to my head, not my heart, luv you all!

I had a good time Saturday night at Orbit. The DJ Trio of Wiz and Spin and DMC was a good music package. It was good to see and roll with the rest of my National Fam. It seems like there’s never enough time to talk to everyone. I hope to see you all again on the wood somewhere soon.

Fourth, I had a good time in Milwaukee last weekend. Much Luv to all the Mil-town skaters and skate crews that helped make the event possible, Greg, Kim, Dorian, Dnay, DJ Angelo, and a many others, and DJ DMC of CHI. Mil-town has always been cool for me, since the first time I rolled there, back when I only knew Dani, Reneez, Kim, Nikki, Eric, Dennis, and James Nord, before any of the skate groups were formed!

This Rep is so long, I’ll post the rest on www.jbelite.com over the weekend!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for coming to Millennium Skate World for my birthday party. The combination of the the three DJ's ( Ed, Malcolm and JB) was simply outstanding. I am looking forward to getting all of them again for another skating event soon.

Hubert provided a delicious buffet and Tate brought in the desserts. Numerous skaters took a break from the skate floor to relax and enjoy a full body massage. Special shout outs to Ms Cheeks (Skatealicious) and Grafton (Urbanskatelinks.com) for being the farthest traveled especially on a Wednesday night and driving in the pouring down rain. So glad you both came. Mr. Charles it was an honor to have you in the building. My surprise guest was Mr. Roger Lloyd, the owner of Carman Gardens skating rink in Philadelphia. Ice from Philly, I love the tshirt.

Thank you to my local supporters from Philly, South Jersey and Delaware.

Hello Skate Family,
Just wanted to post a represent to thank everyone for showing Beauty Doll and I love while celebrating our Sorority's Centennial Boule in Washington, DC.

NJ- Tracy at Millennium Skate World, we thank you for all of your hospitality. We enjoyed our visit to your rink in Camden last Wednesday. I wish we could have been there this week to celebrate your birthday. Enjoy your special day.

DC- BMan, Ms. Cookie, Big Will, and the rest of the Master Rollers... what can we say? We had a wonderful time rolling with you all at D'Lites Thursday night. The DJ showed us so much love it was unbelievable. Dimples said you all have always been fun to skate with when she rolls with you all on Thursdays. Beauty Doll and I are happy we had the opportunity to find out for ourselves what it is like to go around the curve on a slow jam at 50 miles per hour. (smile) Grafton- urbanskatelinks.com- thanks for meeting us there at the rink. It meant a lot for you to make that drive and I had a fabulous time skating with you. Kappa Chris, thanks for stopping by to say "hello." The pictures turned out terrific and I'll post to your myspace page very soon. Don't forget you owe me a story for our next newsletter. (smile) Lynette, sorry I missed you this trip... I'll see you on the next go 'round. Butterflies... we didn't get the chance to meet you Thursday, but we are glad you will make it to Raleigh. Renny, Ten, Terri, Trevor, Carla, Greg, Renee, and the rest of the Midnight Rollers... boy did we have a ball Saturday at Seabrook Roller Rink! Thanks for making us feel right at home. (BMan, we appreciate you making an appearance on behalf of the Master Rollers also.)

We had so much to share when we returned to the Skate Ranch Sunday night. See some of you in Fayetteville this weekend for the Fayetteville Gliders Sk8 party and the rest in Raleigh for our Showcase on August 9th. Sk8 love!
