Jamskating ENT Crew formed back in the summer of 2002. Back then, the group was known as Team Riedell. The group was traveling to skating rinks around the US to promote the sport of jamskating by teaching classes and performing demos. Riedell Skates, Radar Wheels, and Sure Grip were the group's sponsors for several years.
After a couple of years performing and teaching at rinks, the group started to branch out into other areas. The NBA's Orlando Magic hired the team to perform at home games during timeouts and halftimes. Universal Citywalk and Sea World started bringing the team in several times a year to perform around the theme park. Clients, such as LG Electronics, Sketchers, and Aveda, were hiring the team to perform at tradeshows and special events. The performances really started to pick up around 2005 and they have remained in demand ever since.
In January of 2007, Riedell decided to drop the group name of Team Riedell, and go a different direction. The skaters were still sponsored by Riedell, but we could no longer use the name we were known so well for. That is when the Jamskating ENT Crew name was born. We also decided to go in a different direction and make the group a professional all-star performance team. Now, with the Riedell restriction lifted, we were able to recruit the best of the best skaters and performers from all different sponsors. Since the change, we've been an even stronger performance group, and the demand for performances have doubled.
