Bill with his 16
year old student Bryan Taylor. Bryan has been training and learning
the Jammin technique for nearly two years and appears to be the next to
follow in the skate-steps of Bill's long-time student/protege, Michael
Johnson. |
 |
Bill is making sure
the technique he created lives on by passing the torch to the next generation.
These 10-11 year old students are paying close attention as their teacher
demonstrates "skate-stop" positions and movements. |
|
Students say
learning the Jammin' Technique is "difficult but fun."
|
Now the youngsters
put the moves and body positions that they learned into practice as they
proceed through the many steps involved in the "skate stop" exercise. |
 |
Making the rounds,
Bill, (in the center, red shirt), rolls on to instruct his adult students
as they work on their pairs, trio and train skating. |

Afterwards, the class
was all smiles. In addition to his local students, Bill (back
row center) had visiting students and guests including Tyrone Dixon
(8 Wheels & Some Soul Brotha Music, back row far right) and
Noriko, a long-time student from New York, (kneeling far left). |
