Skate 101
Skate 101 is a system to help people learn to roller skate and is the brainchild of Jen "Jenny Jen" Goldstein based on her realization that beginner roller skaters make mistakes which can easily be prevented. With a motto like, “Save ya ass, take a class!” Goldstein put together rhymes that included how-to instructions for her students. Paired with the one-man band, Taki76, the two formed Phat Sk8trax and churned out a number of tracks, including “The Boogie Back Rap,” which became the top ten single of the year in ''The Village Voice''. The Boogie Back is the world’s only “how to skate backwards song.” They can be heard on the radio, in skating rinks and clubs throughout the world.
==History==
Goldstein grew up in Gainesville, Florida. Although roller skating was a favorite childhood sport, it wasn’t until a trip to New York City in 1989 that Goldstein became hooked on rolling around town. After skating a loop through Central Park, Goldstein purchased a pair of roller skates and became a self-taught skating junkie. Skating influenced several aspects of her life, including her career at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where Goldstein used her skates to get around town during the 1998 SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) strike. Goldstein even convinced her professor to allow her to write her thesis – titled “The Development of a Product: In-line Skating” on the activity.
After graduation, Goldstein became a certified skate instructor and opened Philadelphia’s first and only skate school.
