Athlete Erin Jackson, who is a Florida native herself, recalls growing up skating at the local roller rink from as far back as she can remember. At nine, she started roller figure skating. Always drawn to going fast, she switched to inline speedskating and eventually became a 47-time National Champion, an 11-time World Championships medalist, and in 2015, a Pan Am Game medalist. She is currently a member of Team USA Roller Derby, and recently competed in the 2018 US Olympics.
