"Rollerdrome Skaters Speeding Towards Top" Say's Channel 7 NBC News, (this is My Son, Jeremy!)


The video for the statement below was air Saturday, March 20th, 2010. The video is of my son, Jeremy and his coaching of the Rollerdrome Speed Skaters. The photo that I have here was taken from that video.
Jeremy has been doing Speed Skating since his very early teens. He has raced all over the United States. Even race with some Olympic Gold, Silver and Bronze Racers a few years back in Las Vegas, Nevada and he came in about the 12th if I remember rightly. He even won the chance to go to the Olympic's for 2001 in Australia. But he got into Roller Hockey and learned his love for the sport. So he choose to do the Hockey. Which he is amazing at. He's been Idaho's BEST HOCKEY Player, TOP SCORER etc.... Jeremy's son, Nike started roller skating at the age of 3, he just turned 6. He also plays Hockey. And he is also on the Speed Stating team!!! Jeremy as recreated Rollerdrome Speed Skating Again. For the past year he has brought it back and now has teams that will be competing in the Nations. Channel 7 NBC News got it right, Jeremy will be taking it TO THE TOP!
In the story below they mention of two 2nd place WINNERS (they were racing in Alburn, Washington) one of the 2 Place Winners was my Grandson (Jeremy's son) NIKE, 5 years old at the time and his very first race ever. Yes... I see the Olympic's in my son and grandson's future! I am so, so very PROUD OF YOU, JEREMY AND YOU TOO, NIKE. I AM YOUR #1 FAN.

NAMPA -- Speed skater Apollo Ohno inspired a lot of people during the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, including a group of skaters in Nampa.

Members of the Rollerdrome Speed Skating team practice in Nampa at the Rollerdrome Skating Center.

Think of Rollerdrome like Olympic short track speed skating -- only instead of ice skates -- these speedy people are on in-line skates.

Head Coach Jeremy Campbell said it takes physical and mental skills.

“It is a very fun and active sport,” Campbell said. “Not only does it keep you fit, it keeps your mind sharp. It's not only focused on fast skating, there's a lot of thinking involved.”

The team competed last month in Washington state and earned two second place finishes.

The Rollerdrome team has another competition next month.
