JBSkateChicago is dedicated to preserving, showcasing, and growing the culture of Chicago roller skating.
Founded in Chicago, JBSkateChicago highlights the creativity, rhythm, individuality, and community that make our city's skating culture unique — while connecting with skaters and skating communities across the country and around the world.
JB stands for “James Brown,” whose music, movement, rhythm, and style helped inspire generations of Chicago skaters. Over time, those influences developed into a distinctive style of roller skating built around smooth footwork, musicality, flow, and self-expression. Today, JB skating continues to evolve through skaters of all ages while carrying forward a culture with deep roots in Chicago.
JBSkateChicago was created to help document, celebrate, teach, and share that culture. Through original skating content, tutorials, private lessons, the JBSkateChicago Skate Academy, merchandise, events, and collaborations, our goal is to give both new and experienced skaters a place to learn, connect, and experience the culture.
Explore the site to discover our content, shop official JBSkateChicago merchandise, book a skating lesson, learn through Skate Academy, meet the team, and discover more about JB skating.
