History

Welcome to the Adrenalin Awards and Style Skaters Weekend

The Genesis: In 2000, Three-0-Two Entertainment and G-Man at the Elsmere Skating Center hosted the first Annual Adrenalin Skate Jam.

The first night of Adrenalin was a very quaint but elegant party. Dress to impress was the request and skaters did just that and looked marvelous.

The intent of Adrenalin was 5 hours of non-stop pure Adrenalin. From fast to slow, power mix to cool down, the music did not stop.

Skaters from the east coast can and experienced the Pure Adrenalin and Garry "G-Man" Corporal was the DJ for that night. There was so much adrenaline coming through his fingers, the music became part of your body.

In 2001, Three-0-Two Entertainment added three additional Dj's to the Wheels of Steel,
DJ Ed (NJ), DJ Mario (NY) and DJ Wiz (MD). How much adrenaline can one take?

Over the years, Garry "G-Man" noticed there weren't any awards or honors recognizing the African American Style Skaters in America, this begat the Adrenalin concept. In 2002, he sought the assistance of SkateGroove.com and the two joined forces to host the 3rd Annual Adrenalin Skate Jam Weekend. It was then the very first Adrenalin Award was presented to premier DJ Big Bob (NY) for his years of service and dedication to the skating community.

Then in 2003, the Adrenalin Awards and Skate Jam expanded to a full weekend, which encompassed a formal sit-down dinner/award ceremony and skating event. The award ceremony is an event that recognizes skaters for their talents and skills on eight wheels.

After the Blizzard of 2003, the survey taken revealed that we needed to move the Adrenalin Awards Weekend. After careful review and discussion with other coordinators of the Style Skate community, the Adrenalin Awards weekend was moved to the first weekend of May, annually.

April 30-May 1, 2004 we sprung into a new season for the Adrenalin Awards and this proved to be the perfect fit. The nice spring weather added to the ambiance of the weekend, which spilled over into 2005.

In 2006 SkateGroove Entertainment was moving in another direction and decided to part company with the business of Adrenalin. That same year the Adrenalin Awards and Skate Jam Weekend was postponed due to various occurrences.

Then in 2007 Three-0-Two Entertainment and Style Skaters Television Network teamed to host the new and revived Adrenalin Award and Style Skaters Weekend.

We hope you are as excited as the Adrenalin committee about the ceremony, Nominees, winners and guest from across the nation will honor and recognize Style Skaters for their outstanding accomplishments.

The awards are special because skaters nationwide chose the nominees and winners. In 2008, the award is even more special as it was hand crafted by a member of the Style Skating community, Hezekiah Barnett (NC) of "Skate Xpressions by Hez". In essence, all of the nominees are special simply from the honor of being nominated by his/her peers.

In 2009, Adrenalin Awards & Style Skate Weekend moved to the Washington DC Metropolitan area celebrating the
7th Annual Adrenalin Awards & Styles Skaters. The Nations Capitol is so very appropriate as it seemed 2009 was the "Year of Change".

The Style Skaters Television Network are now the official Host of the Adrenalin Awards & Style Skaters Weekend.

The Adrenalin Awards & Style Skaters Weekend also consist of a Vendors Expo which offers an opportunity for vendors and entrepreneurs within the Style Skate community to showcase and highlight there business without the distractions.
