Inline Skating
Jenny Jen Goldstein is setting skating trends again. Now in addition to her collection of learn-to-skate songs, she has a new animated musical safety video for skaters, BMX bikers or skateboarders. The "Glide Slide, Save Ya Hide" music video is a sing along teaching activity and a great way for kids and the young-at-heart to see and remember safety tips. This is the first music video in the Skatewoman series, but probably not the last. Look for the comic book series to come out soon, too.
