Who says Ohio doesn't start trends

It's called jamskating, a combination of roller-skating, gymnastics moves and break-dancing. And the trend is growing in Ohio. In Columbus, jamskating is about the skater's bounce. In Akron, it's all about speed, and in Cleveland the growing jamskating trend is the so-called "groove" or down tempo.

Cleveland's Michael McCoy demonstrated the trend by launching into the air. He turned his shoulders to the left and forced his legs and body into a 360-degree rotation. Also known as freestyle skating, jamskating is a style of roller-skating that incorporates elements of break dancing, artistic skating, gymnastics and modern dance. (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
