Roller Skating in Chicago

Chicago

The Chicago roller skating scene is forged from resilience, rhythm, and a deep connection to the city's streets, a culture defined by a tight-knit community that transforms the urban grid into a rolling playground. At its core is the legendary JB skate style, a smooth, soulful dance on wheels inspired by James Brown that gives the city its unique skate identity.
