Meet JBSKATECHICAGO.

JBSkateChicago is more than a skating brand — it’s a platform built to showcase, preserve, teach, and push forward Chicago’s roller skating culture.

Founded in 2018, JBSkateChicago was created to give the culture a home where skaters, music, movement, creativity, and community can all be celebrated. From the foundations of traditional JB skating to the new generation carrying the style forward, we’re dedicated to documenting where the culture has been while helping shape where it goes next.

Through original content, skate education, private lessons, Skate Academy, merchandise, events, workshops, and collaborations, JBSkateChicago connects people to the culture both inside and outside of Chicago.

Our mission is simple: preserve the history, support the community, inspire the next generation, and keep Chicago rolling.

THE CULTURE. THE SOUND. THE STYLE.
CHICAGO BORN. WORLDWIDE ROLLED.
