Saint Louisian Leo White, aka the
"One-Wheel Roller," has won more than
54 regional competitions since he began
skating at age six. With his ability to slip
into a low, stealthy, single-skate
glide from a full-throttle roll, White is
the skating equivalent of the
drool-inducing basketball player who can
charge down the court at Formula One
speed, then stop, pop and bury a jumper
from 15 feet in transition, writes Mike Seely of the
Riverfront Times. This week, he's
attending the World Championship of
Performing Arts in Los Angeles. Whether he relocates to LA may
be the million-dollar question for the
One-Wheel Roller, whose niche is
anything but sure-fire bankable, Seely
says.
