In the skate world everyone knew him as Wendell White. He left us on Saturday, June 12, 2010. As many of you knew Wendell had been sick for many years, and on dialysis. Every day was a struggle for him, but he still keep a smile and kept it moving. Wendell traveled to different skate trips with his skating brothers Hector, Donald and Eric, and Darryl Charlie. I went on a few trips too, but mostly I was there when he needed someone to take him shopping when he was sick or to his sister’s. I was his hangout partner when he was lonely. My skate brother and friend will truly be missed. I’m sorry that this information is just getting out to the skating family. It will be too late for most people to attend the funeral but I will listed the information below. Rosa Funeral Home at 11am Wendell, it’s not goodbye, but see you later. I love you Christine Scott 7.5.10 7.5.10 Name: Jennifer Still aka Butta Hello Sk8 World, I would like to extend my condolences and prayers to the families of Tex, Linda, Larry Clark (my two step partner), Tracey, her son and her brother. Everyone I have met through sk8ting I consider my family, losing each them was like losing one of my own. But, I am also overjoyed to know that we, as a sk8 family, have three addition angels in heaven watching over me and my fellow sk8ters as we travel to places far and near to get our roll on. Gone but NEVER forgotten! 7.4.10 7.1.10 Hi Desi,from all of FSP Atanta-New York family we wish you had the best of times on your birthday and it continues for the rest of the year,God bless and thanks for all your support,Mr.G FunkySkatesProductions ATL-NY. 7.1.10 We would like to take this time to say “Thank You” the skaters from Atlanta; Indy (Sherri & company); Marilyn (Cali); KP and our Flint Family skaters and especially to the Detroit skaters that came out in huge numbers to help make the June 26th Memorial for our own Mr. Charles “The Wood” Haywood an tribute, that will forever stay in our hearts! A memorial table was set-up with his trophies, pictures; and his skates!!! Skaters were taking pictures with his skates, it was an unbelievable and touching feeling throughout the rink and you could just see the Love that everyone had for Charles. Reggie Gunn, Chuck Yates, Charlotte Beachum and Wayne Kendrix did a skating tribute as these 3 skaters did shows with him and/or have learn from him. Charles skates were put in the middle of the floor and a ring of skaters holding hands skated around the skates giving a tribute, this was fitting for “Mr. Wood”! Cookie & I prepared 6 different types of salads, bake chicken, pound cakes, cupcakes, peach cobbler, fruit salad, and punch for the skaters to munch and mingle. DJ Ken Smallz, Charles brother played the music and they were SKATIN that night…Thank You Ken, we will have you & Jo in our prayers. Thanks again to all the out-town skaters that came that night, Thanks to our faithful Detroit skaters that always show Skaters Love, and to all the Detroit skaters that came to the funeral----we were in there DEEP!!!..... 7.1.10 Name: James DR.SOUL Cooper, AKA BIGG DOGG OF THE SOUTH

KEEP ON ROLLING, JAMES DR.SOUL COOPER AKA BIGG DOGG OF THE SOUTH PRESIDENT & CEO DOGG POUND SKATE CREW 7.1.10 A Shout-Out & Thank you con’t, for coming to "Show on Skates", the 6.30.10 On Sunday the temp shot to 102% surrounding the Anacostia Park Skating Pavilion 6.28.10 The service and memorial skate for Norman Carr was a time to see the unity of skaters past and present. Norman was not only a excellent skater, He was a World War II veteran, a hard worker and a loving father. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are a testimony of how his legacy will live on. The service was also a testimony of his legacy as skaters from the state of Ohio came down to remember him. At the Memorial Skate, State Rep, Alicia Reece announced "Norman Carr Day" on behalf of the state of Ohio. When I first started skating at an adult session. Norman was the first person that said hello. He welcomed me with open arms and never said a negative word about people who enjoyed skating. He would tell you to keep trying and he would have that smile and laugh that would remind you that life is fun. He was always helpful to others, taught people how to skate and if you had a problem with your skates, he would stop skating and go to work to fix them. With his passing, a 70-year skating career ended with his achievement of having the first African-American owned roller rink in Cincinnati. .
I'll miss the birthday parties we had for him on the Father's Day skate at the rink. Norman Carr was to many the "skating father" of Cincinnati. He will be loved and missed by all. 6.27.10 STL ROLLERS
St. Louis, MO
It had been a long time, but I'm back. First, giving thanks to the Man above for all that He has done and giving prayer to all our skate families that has lost someone this year. As Showtime said we are a big FAMILY and we have to start acting like one. Now for some good news, STL ROLLERS have a summer camp support team that have sent 12 kids from ages 9 -12 to summer camp this year. These are kids that have never been out of the the city other to another city, never been to the woods or been without a TV,Cell Phone or a Computer. It good to see a kid face light up when they have seen something new for the first time. So we (STL ROLLERS) would like to thank all who have help to make this happen. THANK YOU. We still need your help for next year too. So go to the web site, make a donation, it's for the kids. Also would like to thank all that made it to the skate party, we had a nice time and the music was GREAT. I got my roll on. Again THANKS!! I hope that you all have a Blessed and Wonderful year. See you on the wood and remember be careful out there, slow skaters to the to the MIDDLE so us ROLLERS can skate. LOL :-) LOVE YA ALL!!
6.26.10 I just want to say thanks to Alicia Reece and friends for hosting the FREE memorial skate for Mr. Norman Carr. It was great seeing all the old school, mid school, and new school skaters on the floor in HARMONY. That is how he would have wanted it and that is how he wants us to continue. Believe it or not we are all family. The DJs did a great job to say the very least. Months ago the skate community was a very strong force. They say adversity makes you stronger. We have carried heavy hearts and dealt with the homegoings of our loved skaters by showing support to each other and their families. We showed our strength and I feel us getting stronger. I roll with some awesome people!!! 6.23.10 Greetings, Skate Family. It's been along time since I posted on here, but I've been very busy having recently retired after 33 years on my job with the State of Michigan. In addition, I'm almost finished with rehabilitation from a knee injury I suffered a few months ago. I'm skating again and the knee is just about back to full strength, so I will be attending the Chicago Skate Jam July 2nd weekend. In any event, when I signed onto SKATEGROOVE I was absolutely heartbroken to read of the passing of Tex, Linda, and Charles. All were phenomenol skaters as well as wonderful people, and they will be greatly missed by all. They left their marks upon the Skateworld, and our hearts as well. On the various occasions that I had the pleasure of skating/conversing with each of them, they were always friendly, polite, helpful, respectful, and fun. They were the kind of skaters that made attending the national parties so enjoyable. May each of them rest safely in peace in the arms of the Lord. This makes it crystal clear that none of us knows when our last roll will be. Until then, each of us would be wise to enjoy our lives, enjoy skating, be kind and tenderhearted to one another, build good relationships, help one another, speak positive words, and teach a child, remembering that it's greater to give than to receive. My apologies that this rep is so late. Shout outs to Diamond & Betty (DC), Ice (Philly), Joi (ATL), Greg & Kim (Miltown), CMW, Chi-Force, and Dre and The System (Chicago), D-Nice & Rainbow (St. Louis), Reggie (Detroit), & Desi & Wes Jiggs (Columbus). See many of you in Chicago! Be blessed!
6.20.10 6.18.10 Our Family would like to take a moment to give thanks to all the Atlanta Skaters & all the Atlanta Rink Owner for the condolences, donations and words of encouragement during our time of need. Thanks for showing us the love you have for our brother Charles Haywood it will never be forgotten. Love Ken (DJ Ken Smallz) & Jo Ann Haywood 6.16.10 "Thanks Atlanta"
I just wanted to say Thank You All once again for showing up and showing out for the Charles "The Wood" Haywood Memorial Service. It was an event that I won't forget. The love and support was truely felt. Skaters that had not been seen for a while came out. Rink Owners and Rink Managers also came and showed their support. The Djs Spin, Brian and Ken did a great job in honoring Charles. In 5 days Atlanta Skaters and Rink Owners raised almost $4000.00 and donations are still pouring in. Special Thanks to The Atlanta Hardwood Steppers (a skate club that Charles was a member of) for your large donation. A very special Thanks to Kenny, Trish, Mike (and others) for holding me up and allowing me to lean on you.
God Speed

6.10.10 Alicia Reece, I would like to say thank you so much for all you have done. These are words that are seldom spoken, so often people only focus on the negative things, forgetting all the positive things you have done. You have given your time and commitment to and for skating. Not to mention the numerous free skate party’s you have given us, also the generous amounts of money you have given out at your skate events. The Obama skate was great, being part of history celebrating our 44th President who is African-American. The Freedom center in all what it stands for; we were able to have a joyous event at this facility, I hope everyone took the opportunity to look at the history that was preserved in this venue. Although everything can’t run as smooth as planned, you stepped up to make a right by refunding skaters money that had been charged extra, for the Dream is Real Weekend, skate party. You are a class act, many would not have thought twice about what happened let along refund money. Again kudos, and thanks for everything. Andrea Howard 6.10.10 I am responding to the untruths that "Krash Kourse" (Kris Ramsey) of The Dream is Real Weekend displayed here on Skategroove.
First of all you have absolutely NO IDEA how national ADULT skating events are organized. These adult events make it very clear to their consumer(REAL NATIONAL SKATERS) what the price is with advance price and door price as well as the age restriction (if any). All the "fluff" of having '80's Hip Hop Artists and a '90's R & B Artist is something most REAL skaters could care less about. REAL SKATERS TRAVEL TO SKATE!
Here is THE TRUTH of what was done on that weekend to REAL SKATERS:
1.) I called Rashid, myself and HE SAID it would be $15 at the door.
2.) You went from $17 to $20 in 15 mins. (Exact time. 12:30 AM- 12:45 AM)
3.) Only 1 member of Whodini (Ecstacy ONLY. Out of 3 members)arrived at 12:40 walked around the rink and had left the building by 1 AM.(His estimated time of appearance was 10 maybe 15 mins. max.)
If you, the host, and the organization cared anything about your "National Skaters" that you heavily advertised would be there, then what attempts did you make to make sure your other OHIO, Indy, and Kentucky Skaters had a chance to get advance tickets? Go to your website? Well, lets see if I had done so then I would have paid $14 for a $12 ticket.(Yeah, remember that good old service charge that you added per ticket if someone would have purchased their ticket online.)
I could go on and on but bottom line is YOU, The Host(Alicia Reese), and the organization was WRONG!! Next time you all want to get in the business of throwing a NATIONAL skate party ask some EXPERIENCE coordinators how its done. WE, REAL SKATERS don't pay that much at the door to attend some of the BIGGEST SKATE parties of the year. And believe me they have the longevity and respect for their consumer that you surely lack knowledge of.
And you can best believe, NEXT YEAR, I will be at a TRUE NATIONAL SKATE PARTY.
VA Beach, I WILL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!!!

Favorite Rink: Castle
OK so my Mom told me if I did not have anything to say then do not say it at all. So I was being very quiet until this morning. I feel the need to post a response to the post made by Kris of Operation "Stick Up". The majority of the skaters and hosts of the national parties are good people that enjoy skating and enjoy seeing others skate. For the most part these parties feel like family reunions. The skate party at the Dream Is Real Weekend was a nightmare. How can an event promoted so well turn out so bad? After speaking with many members of my skate family this is what I know to be true. The skate session was promoted to be $12 in advance and $15 at the door. I appreciate Krash Kourse for offering the 20% discount for a weekend pass but unfortunately that was not my course. Many of us were planning on just doing the skate session because that is what we do; skate. That is why I am on Skategroove and not Comedy Central with this post. Thank you for giving me the option of a wonderful weekend but I opted to skate since that is my passion. I was unable to get my tickets days before the party. I arrived at the rink about an hour before the party hoping to find some $12 tickets but willing to pay the extra $3. When I get to the rink I was told admission was "either $17 or $20." No one could tell me what it was gonna be. I understand it was both; some people were charged $17 some $20. The problem I have with this is you have me on the highway to get to your party (I had plenty of choices Detroit, VA Beach Cali) that you advertised for $15 now you charging $20? I called the Fun Factory's hotline and the answering machine said "the Chicken & Waffle skate Jam $15." I see a person affiliated with the party in the parking lot and I am told that "these type of events prices are subject to change." People pay $20 $17 $12 or $9.60 (per Chris) to skate and see Whodini and they don't perform? You advertised like there were gonna be chicken and waffles like Roscoe's but had wing dings and Eggos? Then after having a change of heart or (what I believe) not being able to take the heat you refund certain people $3. Math Quiz $20 - $15 is $5 not $3. Hoodwinked comes to mind. The nerve!! I have a question if you were giving us such a good deal and you stand behind your actions why are you giving partial refunds? Why are you on Skategroove defending yourself? Why are you on Skategroove talking about Hip Hop legends and Jet and Vibe Magazine? I tell you why because you know you were wrong and even more you know that the skate community is way more classy than what you gave us credit for and in 2011 you might want to skip the skate party. Funny thing about the party you were weeding out the kids? ID check does that. From what I understand the kids had advance tickets plus $2.50 more for rental skates while the real skaters with skates that sell for upwards of $500 were "stuck up" for $20 or told to kick rocks. I think you need to go back to the drawing board with your party as well as your apology.
6.9.10 I would like to thank Skategroove for allowing us to share the 2010 Dream Is Real Weekend with our skating family. This weekend, which occurs once a year, every Memorial Day Weekend, is a labor of love and is developed as an entertainment weekend. We have organized this weekend with the hope and aspiration of growing it into the size of the Essence Music Festival in five years, and since we the organizers are Die-Hard skaters, we wanted to keep our skating community involved.
This is why we allowed skaters to buy tickets that were 20% off for all events and pick any event that they wanted to attend. With the 20% discount the cost translated as follows for the Dream Is Real Events: a morning work-out free skate event, the main skating event Chicken and Waffles skate jam hosted by Whodini costing $9.60, a premier old school Hip Hop Concert (already voted one of the best concerts of the year by jet magazine) hosted at a Coney Island Water and Amusement Park for $16, a unique White Party and first event ever hosted at the National Underground Freedom Center for $20, and comedy show and happy hour for $8. The total package for the weekend only cost $54 for five events featuring National artist like Spike Davis(comedian), AJ Jamal(comedian), Bootsy Collins ( Music legend inducted into the Rock-n-Roll hall of fame), Montell Jordan (two-time Grammy award winner), Kool Moe Dee ( Grammy Award winner), Whodini (VH-1 Hip Hop legends) UTFO( Hip Hop Pioneers) and Rakim (Voted one of the Greatest M.C.’s of all times by MTV, Rolling Stones, Source Magazine, VH-1, and VIBE magazine).
I say all this to say we offered our skate family a great discount, to a festival weekend named one of the best festival’s to attend in Cincinnati by the Metromix. We are proud of our city and all that is has to offer and we promote heavily for all of our events and due to the large amount of publicity(radio, newspaper ads, billboards,& T.V commercials) we offer our skaters these discounts on advanced tickets so we can charge more at the door to ensure that everyone in attendance has the right frame of mind, to party and leave the BS at home ( to weed the KIDS and trouble makers out).

This was one of the best skaters ever. When I spoke to Joi, I was balling on the phone, because I felt like God had already taken two skaters from us and he wouldn’t take another, but God is all knowing and all powerful. He is the only one who knows when it’s that time. So once I calmed down and in speaking with Joi, I started to realize that the memories I had of Charles were such great memories, I would never forget him, and that he would always be there in our lives when we skate.. He was such a big part of why I started to skate, and I thank him for always encouraging me. I will always miss you Charles. RIP my brother! 6.5.10 Name: Gregory Allen

5.28.10 5.28.10 He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man. As we try and comprehend these profound losses, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens. As I look up toward the stars I have to ponder that perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy and that they are in God’s care, forever and a day. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived and that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

5.24.10 First give honor to GOD, my Lord and Saviour, with him I can do all things, without him I can do nothing. Isn’t GOD so amazing! While Tex was being honored for the great individual he was, Linda slipped away quietly to prepare them a place to skate in eternity. When Tex got the news, he knew she was at peace and decided to make his final journey. As he started down the path and was almost home, he heard a voice saying, hey wait for me, I’m so tired. Can I join you on your way? It was then that Tex grabbed Larry by the hand so he would not be alone on his journey and they joined Linda in that magnificent place. Eternal Life! As we remember these three wonderful people, remember GOD loved them more. They are now in there final resting place. No more illness, no more pain, no more worrying, because they have made it to that Glorious Place in Heaven. Hallelujah! To the family of Tex, he was a great man, with such a big heart, his smile lit up the room, do not cry nor worry, he soul is at rest. To the family of Larry, no one knows the day nor the hour! Just remember the time that you shared before he left that evening. GOD does not make any mistakes. He’s always in control. Larry didn’t suffer. When he fell, GOD lifted him and the pain was gone. To all of you, live each day to the fullest, for we are not guaranteed tomorrow! Do all that you want to do, and enjoy each day like it the last day here on earth. Ms. Magic Greenbelt, MD 5.24.10 Saturday evening I received a phone call letting me know, Tex of the “Wizard on Wheels”, 5.23.10 5.22.10 Congrats to Kim and Greg. I wish you many moons of HAPPINESS.

5.18.10 I want to extend to the family of Linda Corley, my condolences, and to let them know that God has another angel with him. When I found out what happened, I felt like one of my family members had passed and I was really sadden by this loss. Linda was truly one of the best on “eights”. I recently spoke with one of my club members and we chatted about when we began skating and how Linda just stood out among the woman that could really roll. She inspired both of us to really want to become proficient in our craft. I still see her spinning, in the middle of the floor. God has blessed us to have her in our lives even if for a little while, and I really just wanted the family to know that one of our true angels is going home to rest. RIP Linda…..love you!!!!!!!
5.17.10 I'm sending my condolences to the family of Linda Corley. I am thankful I had the opportunity to know Linda, and to see how beautiful a person she was. She will TRULY be missed by those whose lives she touched. I pray for strength for her family and friends to help cope with this loss. Linda may not be with us physically, BUT she will always be with us in our heart, smiling as she always did. 5.17.10 Name: TANYA SPROTTk(DIVA) State: New Jersey: Favorite Rink: FAVORITE SKATING RINK BBP AND 22 E-Mail: DIVASKATE@GMAIL.COM hello skateworld i just want to say my heart goes to the family and friends of the loss of linda corley she was a phenominal woman and true skaterrr. she had many skate moves that was just beyond believing. you would have had to be there to experience such a wonderful woman and mom. i trulyyyy trullly will miss her soooo much!!!

Yes you all miss the best Skating party in Ohio, Pittsburgh. Steel City Rollers had a skate jam that knocked your socks off. everybody had a ball, we went that Friday night and got thirsty for another night on the floor, Saturday night was great, the food was so so good Darrell and his Wife and skaters put their foot in that potatoes salard, the cake was so good, I just hate I did not get another piece. Everything was so laid out, and the skaters really had a ball. we can't wait for the spring fling of 2011.

5.16.10 First give honor to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Without him I am nothing, with him I can do all things. It deeply saddens me to hear about the loss of Ms. Linda of Wizards on Wheels. My condolences go out to her family. It wasn't too long ago that my sister made that same journey. Therefore I can smile and rejoice at the homegoing of Linda. She has recevied the glory of GOD and her soul now rest in eternity. To the family, cherish the good times, the memories of who she was and the joy she brought to each and every one of you. We too have to take that journey one day. GOD saw fit to deliver her to that mighty place in heaven. Where her body is healed and no more suffering. I know you say it was too soon, but remember we are only lent here for a while. It is in GOD's time that he calls us back home. That ole cancer had taken over her body, but GOD has delivered her soul. She is smiling down from heaven! Trust in the Lord for he makes no mistakes.
To Tex and family. Keep your heads up to the heavens, for it is now in GOD's hands. Whatever you are going through, GOD is carrying you through. Just relax, pray and enjoy the journey. He is a healing GOD and will heal your soul. I pray that this illness be delivered from your body. That GOD will allow you more time hear on earth. I rebuke this illeness from your body in the name of Jesus. It is done. Continue to pray and ask GOD for his deliverance. He is a mighty GOD and deserves to be praised. I love you man!
5.16.10 Linda Corley lost her battle with Cancer and is now singing with the Angels. Her beautiful spirit will live on through many of us who found Linda's friendship, love and moreover a Child of God unlimited and could brighten anyone's day. She is one Angel we wished could have stayed with us a little longer. WE LOVE YOU LINDA..."Rest in Peace."

5.5.10 There was an incident at a rink that happened recently. A skater made a comment about a DJ not performing well. The DJ threw heated words toward the skater which he ignored. In a fit of rage, the DJ took a rental skate and threw it at the skater. Then got out the DJ booth and stood on a table ready to fight the skater and threatened him. The management told the skater to leave but the skater explained that no matter what was said, he acted irresponsibly and will be sued for assault. The following day, the skater called the corporate office of the rink. The manager quickly called back and offered a apology and agreed that the action the DJ caused crossed the line, He lost his position with another rink by the same roller skating company and has been dealt with for this incident. DJ's have a hard job working at a skating rink. They have to make sure the music is good for everyone to enjoy and take criticism. I've admired the work they do. I've known many skating dj's who are professional to handle any comment from intelligent to crude and show they are fair to all. This incident was not professional. It showed a person who has years experience working in rinks and clubs to make an attempt to be a child. The management was also irresponsible since they did not take the violation seriously. If you know of any rinks who have management and staff who treat customers lightly, don't let it go. Make a point to show them the severity of their actions. Contact others to stay away from the rink until things change. Call the rinks corporate office or whoever they work for. Make your voice heard for good rolling in any rink you go to. 5.4.10 4.27.10 Name: SynergyTeam2010
