Anthony Taylor OH!, you need some Video of Toronto so we can see what are Brothers are doing out there!👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Josh!!! That “remote control” was niiiice! Seeing in on N Y Times is BIG! Congratulations Chicago fam!
That was like movie Wanted, but instead of curving the bullet, he curved the skate.
Skate Key 1980's Bronx, N.Y. here.
My wife (may she RIP) was an excellent skater, and I tried keeping up. Now my knees aren't what they used to be but I won't give up skating. Love this video and how styles are developed.
Im in The chicago area now and when i was little we'd pratice at the white roller rinks then did our routine smoothly at the rink. But the new school be doing extra. Now back to the practice floor. Lol
Chicago love
My rink was on the Wisconsin/Illinois border, late 80's. Mostly white folks, shuffle skating, on speed-skates. I'm half black & white and I had speed-skates too.
I had my own style influenced by shuffle skate, some dude that was doing like figure skating and my own flow, but
one day some dude showed up and was JB skating and that was it! I already had a habit of doing everything at high speed, but then it was JB smooth moves at high speed.
I love The Rink skaters they are always willing to assist the young kids. The adults & teens jam on the rink. When my grandson visits in the summer he wants to go to The Rink. JB moves makes a non-skater like me dance & shout!
And THAT folks is where I grew up skating. The locals referred to it as "Da Rink". LOL! Good times... Great memories! Thanks for sharing and stay healthy.
Markem skating as well
I've been skating for over 30 years. All types of skates styles. But I have never ever seen the skate move at the end lmao 👏👏👏👏👏
Been skating jb in atl for 10years. It’s great to see this in The NY Times!
Larry Graves hello, can you suggest some wheels for me just learning how skate need good wheels
New skater. 2nd day of lessons at The Rink and bought my first pair of skates. Almost got the crossover down. Can't wait to learn more
We need more of these videos of JB history.
When I was like 14 in the late 80's some dude (at least in his 60's by now) showed up at my rink skating JB and that influence caught fire with me instantly. I already had people coming up to me telling me I was the best skater at our rink and in the next town... but that JB consumed my imagination and flow instantly. It was like something long lost was found, it all just fit and made sense and made my imagination go on forever with more possibilities. I was doing crazy stuff!
I never knew there was a name or history to those moves. My rink was about 1.5 hours north of Chicago, and that's my little story of how I was influenced by the JB moves.
Love black people. Love black culture. Wouldn't want to be anything else. xo
i wanna go to chicago just to visit the skating rink
THE GLENWOOD ROLLER RINK LETS GOOOO!!!
He taught me in the past! Nice guy!!
I remember you. I'm in a wheelchair temporarily. I will skate again in Jesus Name!
Amen
Mayen...!! The whole ghost rider, skate without a foot boomerang move when the credits roll at the end..!! Entirely Too Classy...!! 🎩..👔..🎯..🤘..😎
That remote control was sick!!.I wanna see some else pull that off it was just so move.😊
I’ve been to JB sessions at both Glenwood and the Rink. Loved both floors. I’m a Midwest country boy from about 3 hours from Chicago and the crowds and sense of community were awesome. Great vibes and people to skate with. Most fun skating I have ever had in my life and I enjoy mixing the music as well. Dope style.
I was skating here a few months ago, going back this sunday
To me when i watch the skaters move the way they do so smooth. I think they have a balance on this life thing being able to groove like that. Im learning. I loooooooooooooove!!!!!
i miss the rink!!! i need to get back out there!!!
JB skating should be Olympic sport is marvelous to watch better than ice-skating So many creative move
Insanely talented!!! Chicago Kids 4 Life!!!
Wow I did not know this I always admire the moves I love it.
Excellent video, im trying to learn to skate old school JB, and these examples are what I needed. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
This. This is incredible

The Rink on 87th is where I first learned to skate as a child. Glenwood rink was my next step.
Chitown!
Respect
This is amazing !!!!!
NYT! Be sure and check out the Chicago step dance scene, especially the trio dances. Incredible!
Thank you Kelly😄😄
I remember when I first starting seeing JB style becoming popular at my local skate rink around 2005 or 2006, I didn't know that it came from chicago or what the names of any of these moves were called but it was really fun anyways. Skate knowledge had really only just begun to spread on the net at the time, we just learned by seeing new people come into the rink and seeing them skate. Even as a advanced skater it's funny none of us ever watched a single online skate tutorial those times are really dead and gone lol. Seeing people skating and seeing new things makes me wish I could go back and skate again.
Same thing. You saw them in person every week, skating behind them. They see them online , rewinding, and learning the step.
Amazing 🤩
Yaaasss, Calvin!
That's really cool, love to find the rink and see this in person.
It's in Chicago!
Batman! That was a lit move sir!
Dope, very dope
Hey I use to work at that rink. Good times.
Love y'all's video
VERY Cool

Glenwood!!
Wow this is actually a style? Here i thought i was just feeling it while i skate. Is really james brown. But in from long beach so time to get funky. #whererythm is life and life is rythm
Yes. It's a style if you've never experienced it, I can guarantee you aren't doing the same thing. You have to learn this, you don't wake up just doing it one day.

Brilliant talent... So sad all Rinks shut down.
Only four are shut down fleetwood rainbow and rich city and Markham we have Lynwood Glenwood da rink and mlk
😎
I just realized sum of these move are from roll bounce
Roll bounce used their moves. We been doing this since the 70s.
What wheels do you recommend Fo-mac freestyle Sure grip American plus Or something else
That's "The Rink" on 87th Street-- Chicago. Some people call their style of skating The Crazy Legs. Watch the legs fly or stay toward the middle where it is safe. Lol. Check out Atlanta, Ohio/Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati style, Metro Detroit, St. Louis, & NYC styles of skating. Spring & Summer road trips - Lots of fun!!
the Crazy Legs is a move not a style
Calvin! Hey!!!!!??
This made me put my skates on..
I love this series but the shortness of the videos means so much context is left out. So many whys and hows.
Lol that’s my skating teacher 😂
wow...lucky!
Blaze mordly 😭😂
Markum or Glenwood. I can't remember. Been away too long.
That's at Glenwood
Yo what's the best precision wheels for skates . Are we still doing rubber or? Let me know,I want to get me some wheels.
this is the 70's Reeds arena SKATE NEVER HAD A NAME WE JUST DONE IT
I come from the Rainbo
What about the song before that? The meaty one...
Could do with a track listing... Anyone?
At 2 minutes... Pretty please
Some of those people must have skated in ATL and roll bounce
Does anyone know what song is playing at the end? Someone please help!!!!
