Drive Sport’s founder and owner, Jen is the top skate instructor. Learn from her decade of experience and save years of practice in just one class. Recognized world wide as an in-line skate expert, Jen wrote her thesis on in-line skating at the Wharton School of Business. After graduation, the city’s first certified in-line skate instructor created the first in-line shop, Bladin Action (off of South St at 506 S. 5th St). After that came Drive Sports, and … a whole new chapter in sports history.
Walk, run, ride, roll, refresh!
