When I just started learning this kind of jamming in 2003 Quadsk8 asked me, being one of their Masterclass apprentices, to write about my experiences as a beginning quadskating rollerjammer. Canned Heat is my first story (March 2004). I'd like to thank <a href="http://www.quadsk8.nl">Quadsk8</a> for the enthusiasm that eventually led me to start my ‘Groove Rider’s Diary’. And by now a part of this good cause on earth and beyond called Quadsk8 !Groove Riderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10387019186938268789noreply@blogger.comBlogger491100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993578.post-2740114422241285042011-11-18T01:25:00.002+01:002011-11-18T01:30:12.906+01:00

2011 and still got my roll on. Westside USA this time. A quick visit to NYC and experienced the Halloween Skate in Central Park. It was coooold ! but the core of the skaters sweeped the place clean. DJ's played and we skated anyway ! Happy to meet all my NY skaters friends again. Then moved to San Diego and rolled the Westcoast California !! Yessss a skater's dream come true. So I did skate Skate

Do Not think I haven't been skating over 3 years. On the contrary !!But at some point you reach a status quo, it does evolve and contains progress but the details are small. Learning the skills is an ongoing process. Personal & spiritual growth (and I'm also referring to skating) can be felt inside and will be radiated but there is not much to write about, it is an experience.The last 2 years

New year, new experiences, new website, new venue, new parties, new people, youtube exposure, hyves exposure (a dutch online community), newspaper exposure, lots of media interest, same ol' skates that fit me so perfectly well and which I'll never trade for any other 'till the day I die...and by then go on anyway.. ;-)Popularity grows but that's not the most important thing.

Been some time since my last story. But it doesn't mean I skate less. Quite the opposite, sometimes less in actual hours but so much more intense with a definite zeal. My creative energy is not so much in writing now. Very difficult to explain, very easy to feel. Enhancing skills follow the same steps as described earlier, it's going through the different experiences now that make the light

Another experience I'll never forget. Had the opportunity to meet Tyrone Dixon. His documentary "8 wheels and some soul brotha music" was shown at the filmfestival "Africa in the picture". It has extraordinairy footage of rollerrrinks in the USA and a lot of comments of some real dedicated people who's lives are filled with exposing the Rollerjammin'as it should be. As an active sport which

Still in awe ´bout yesterday evening. Must be one of the most memorable evenings I ever had. Filled with anticipation for the concert of Chic in Paradiso I spend my afternoon with some skatefriends, Chic on cd, skates and handing out some flyers for our Sk8 Rollerjamparty this coming Friday.

Allready Roll second edition has passed. Time flies like crazy, temperatures are rising, days getting longer. SUMMER IS COMING!!! People on skates, blades and inlines all over. Suddenly a buzz on the streets. Whenever we have the sun shining we always remember that it could also be the last day with sun for the rest of the year. So some people overdo it and start walking around in t-shirts, bare

As far as I know the biggest RollerskateParty ever, in this country I mean ;-) Wouldn't it be great to have a venue like this EVERY weekend.You can check out a little bit of last sundays sk8-action on Pimp's site.

Roll, Now & WowFinally!!!! A skateparty that will blow all the others away. Just for one time, maybe more, a Rollerrink. And not just a small one, but a Biggie, like they're supposed to be. Must be one of the biggest Rollerrinks in Europe.Check THIS and THIS ONE.Translation: Better put on your skates and show up !!!!

Found myself a new task to learn more about the groovin´ I´m doin´. Since the jammin' becomes has become a part of my body, mind and soul, things happen more natural than ever ever before. So know I can really focus on exactly WHAT is is I'm doing.Sometimes I catch myself doin´funny or crazy stuff, bouncing up and down, in tune with the current vibe. So I do it again and again, without thinking.

Although there were a few skate opportunities the last month I still have the feeling I don´t perform as well as I know I can. Little bit tired and not enough energy flowing through my body. Sort of a stand still. Luckily yesterday evening I had myself a great thursday evening again. Did not wear myself out but learned some new sets of sequences which I repeated several times to get the feel of

Steady going Yeah! A brand new (sk8) year. Because of the busy december holidays, there weren't a lot of skate opportunities. Except of course the Thursday lessons and the Saturday Masterclasses which I loyally attend. Extra hours in between of training my bodily condition. Lots of sleep. Days are allready getting longer now. This means spring is coming up. I practice positive thinking (I know

Still a bit tired, caused by a 4-days-in-a-row-winter-session. Made me happy though. The 4 days were a perfect combination of lessons, work, pleasure and fun. Thursdayevening I followed the regular lessons with afterwards the rollerdisco till about 12 o´clock. Friday and Saturday a few of us from the Quadsk8 demopool had to be present for workshops that took place from 6 pm till 11 pm. Quadsk8

I skate less if you count the actual hours I have them on my feet. Been real busy spending my time on other things, also relating to rollerjammin' of course. At this point I do not have very much to say or write about my rollerjammin' adventures itself. It turns out to be a never ceasing and continious repetition of surpassing the gravity and staying grounded at the same time, be conscious of the

Lack of knowledge I'm at the stage where I try, with the emphasis on try, to invent some moves myself. In fact it is very very hard to really invent when skating has been around for a couple of decades. When you think you have 'invented' something you can almost be sure it has allready been done by someone, somewhere, sometime or otherwise it is no more than a combination of basicsteps with just

My toes are sort of rotten now because of the new skateboots but kept on skatin' anyway this evening. I felt very groovy and tried not to think that I had new skates on and it kinda worked. My friend asked me if I had allready gave them a massage to loosen them up, 'cause she was given that advice when she just had her new pair of skates; bring 'm to bed with you and then give a gooood rub but

Had about 2 months to consider which colour to order before I actually got them. Been going back and forth between a lot of colours. First choice was deep purple, also an emerald green and lemongreen came passing by or maybe even yellow. Finally decided on pearly purple, a lighter shade like lilac. Now why would I choose, pearly purple, silver laces and transparent wheels? Not so much to stand

Saturday there was a skateparty but the floor was not the best kind. I did put on my new skates but it felt like I just put on rollerskates for the very first time... New boot, new wheels, new bearings, new plates. I was told I still had to adjust them but I was too excited to remember so I fell down a few times. By then I felt so uncomfortable I quickly changed into my thrustworthy skates for

Been having a restless night after the last two posts. Been travelling through my body with a magnifying-glass and a heatscanner. Have seen my body and its muscles inside skating. Like a Rainbow Body....

This post is a reply on a comment given on my prior post. I think it's one of the most difficult questions that someone ever asked me. I could provide you with a simple answer but that won't do. "Been dancin' all my life" or " I just listen to the music" is also not the answer you're looking for. How to explain that synergy that you refer to as 'some kinda magic'. First of all let me say I do not

Shifting, playing, experimenting, stretching, center but widening the boudaries of my balance. A move is just a move, but a move becomes a different and total new move when executed or performed with a different kind of balance and the intensity you put into it. At times even more noticeable on the inside than what the outside shows. You feel things becoming smoother with more groove or just a

Working on different layers now. All the new things we learn, I get the hang of it real quick. Some steps I learn have to be tuned to get it right, other things are submitted to finetuning. And of course all can only be done by keepin' on with the regular training. This season started as I said before with a different rhytm. More quality and less quantity. With not much to do outdoors except the

Ever since April this year I´ve been trying to do a twist on one foot (with skate of course), didn´t yet pull it off. Sometimes I try and do not get very much further than 2 steps before having to lower my other leg to get my balance back or to prevent me from falling. Then I leave it alone and try again a week or 2 weeks later. Yesterday I found out I haven´t been practising this step for quite

I suddenly remember a lot of other things. Last Satuday we had our second Masterclass of the new season. Learned some new steps and jammed them together so we had a little routine. One of the steps looked quite difficult. Allready tried it the week before and it didn't work because I didn't really know how to do it. Saw it and tried to copy, too difficult, move on, maybe next time. So last

Have to get used to a different rhythm. Change of activities means composing a different kind of schedule without losing the same physical power I put into it. Been real sick so first of all I needed some time to get my act together to work out again. Luckily I was more fit than I thought I was. I can set new goals since I'm on a different level now.

Okay still working on it. My discipline. Getting closer. So I DID put on my skates on last monday, I anticipated, felt and held back although temptation was there. The promiss of not using them at all just went up in smoke :-) But I did NOT cross the line and let physical exhaustion get the better of me. Had lots fun and it felt good.

I'm not the right person when it comes to following rules, I do tend to cross them or pay no attention at all. Always pushing further then I ought to. In the end I only have myself to blame and that's the good thing about it hahaha.

It's been about 3 weeks since my last update. I've been on this thrive of next-level-skating for 4 weeks in a row now. As I said before during summerseason, so that would be wednesday through sunday, next to a fulltime job. Been jumpin' and skatin' around all over and got to pay for it allright.

Needed a day to comprehend what happened last thursday...when I think back my heart makes a jump. Two weeks ago I was allready on a roll but the day before yesterday I was floating on air. Normally on thursdays I go to HyperHyper, only a block away from my home, at 10 pm after fixing me a light meal and a nap. Last thursday the weather was too just to fine to stay in.

Last evening was bliss!!! Got funked outta my pants watching George Clinton and P.Funk. Now this is music I´ve known since I was just a toddler. Yesterday evening I brought someone with me who never heard of George Clinton. But during the concert I heard her utter a continuous Oooh...now I know and Aaah...so this is the original?? Started singing with wrong lyrics for these are the lyrics she

One of the funniest things happened to me last wednesday. I was visiting a dear friend of mine. We don't see eachother on a regular bases, but we always find the time once in a while to catch up, see and listen what we've been up to. Haven't spoken with him for the last 5 months, so of course I had to explain what I have been doing lately. Gave him this URL so he can read all about it. I gave him

The dream: Sk8ing around, doing a performance of a sort. Jumping up and down. The Groovy works its way in upspeed tempo, my Scissor is razorsharp, my pirouettes are inimitable. Then The Twist ,but not a regular twist, is a twist on the side of my wheels. So my leftskate is balancing on the edge of the two left-outside wheels and my rightskate is balancing on the edge of the two left-inside

Regretting having no rollerdisco or rollerrink to call my home. Luckily today (as I watch the time, I'd have to say yesterday) summer has officially begun. Outdooractivities and events are quite planned now. I just flipped through my agenda. In July and August I have no Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off, they are all reserved for my curricular activities :-D Wednesdaynightskate,

Tonight's gonna be my first time jammin' after almost 2 weeks without groovy tunes on skates. Had some great times being away but now I'm oh so ready to pump it up again. Can't wait. I'll be taking a quick shower now and I'm on my way!!!!!!!

Barely back from Barcelona and allready tomorrow I´m on businesstrip for a week to the other side of the world. This time I have to leave my loved ones behind. But I will get over this immense sadness. Will leave them in someone´s care who knows how to treat my babies right. They will be pampered and get some new coating for the summerseason.

Second day in Barcelona. Yesterday took a trip to the marina and the boulevard and skated for about 2 hours underneath the palmtrees. Hahaha this is the life! Skating the centercity is more difficult because some areas and streets are just unskateable (at least for quadrollerskaters). But there are lots of Plaza´s where I can groove some of my moves. Gotta go now, sun is shining and is calling

Yesterday I got myself bruised knees, some losing of skin on my finger and a backache. Getting used to it, sort of. In some odd way you learn how to fall. I always seem to make the perfect slidings when I'm on a streetcourseroll. The streets don't like me. WELL I DON'T LIKE THEM EITHER! We had a perfect day with sun and some cool wind. The course lasted about 2 hours and took us through a part

This is sick!! Last night I had myself a relaxing evening, doing nothing for a change, just my remote control in one hand and some lemonade in the other. By the time it was 11 pm I started to get ready for bed, brushed my teeth....and put my skates on. Started dancin', tried some of my new steps. 1 am I plumped down on my couch. 15 minutes later I climbed my bed with my eyes already half closed.

So I'm a smart one. Everyone is fairly tired from celebrating Queensday yesterday. Going to bed way too late with quite likely some alcohol to wear off. I did my celebrating the day before and so got into bed very early (and very tired by the way) so I could at least make it trough the Masterclass, which is more important to me then spending the evening before on the streets and in cafes trying

...all the time. Looking at floors and floorcovering. Everywhere. Restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, shoppingmalls, sidewalks, friends homes, entrances, streets, hallways, cinema's, elevators..?

First time I tied on a pair of skates it was 1979. Rented for 5 guilders at the roller disco in Scheveningen. There I could dance on them all night. Dancing I say, for lack of a better word of course, especially since the first step was still to learn how to stand on them. The music playing was grown up music, which I used to hear at home each day and even as young as I was it fascinated me
