was a GetYourSk8On.com. On MLK Weekend 1999 the first group of 18 and older adults began

skating to old school, hip hop and R&B music. The skaters were from diverse backgrounds,

professions, races and ages. What they all had in common was their love of the roll and desire

to get their skate on whenever they could – they needed the Sunday Night Soul Roll to start their

week.

Over the years the session has grown from skating a few dozen regulars to nearly 400

enthusiasts. This is a celebration of accomplishment for a city not previously known for its roller

skating community until recent years.

In May of 2005 Letta came to United Skates looking for skating lessons. Letta was gearing up to

attend an adult skate party in Chicago. On the invitation of Phil Myers, (GetYourSk8On.com’s

co-founder) she promised she would attend the Chicago event where the 55 year old Myers (a

Korean American, Oil Engineer) said he skated with his brotha’s and sista’s! Not knowing what to

expect, she bought a pair of skates her first night in the rink. With only 8 weeks to learn how to

skate, she took lessons and became a session regular of the Sunday Night Soul Roll.

Upon returning to Tampa from the Chicago experience, Letta wanted to expose the culture of

traveling and skating to Tampa locals. It was love at first roll and has since vowed to promote

roller skating everywhere she went. There was also a strong desire to show other skaters across

the country HOW GREAT skating in Tampa had become and she wanted to showcase the

talent of her fellow session regulars. GetYourSk8On.com was born. This was the first website to

produce interactive news coverage by the use of video online. Traveling to more than 13 states

and 46 rinks in her first year, she just wanted to encourage adults to return to roller rinks and

experience this great American past-time all over again.

Letta volunteered to help in the organization of the annual MLK anniversary event which soon

became more than just a local weekend skate jam. Through her travels she promoted the City

of Tampa, its skaters and their home rink. Now known as the Soul Roll Invitational Skate Jam,

adults 21 and older travel from Michigan, California, London, Los Angles, New York and other

cities to attend the celebrated weekend.

Now in its 3rd year hosted by GetYourSk8On Entertainment, the party has a loyal following of

locals and skaters from across the US. This is a beautiful weekend in Tampa, FL and we hope

that you will be proud and excited to celebrate with us and come to GetYourSk8On!
