I am 60 years old! I used to skate at the Rink on Ashland avenue I think 89th street. and then at St. Sabina school in the 70's and 80's. I was doing all of these moves when my knees worked right...LOL. I am inspired to work on getting my skating legs back and putting my skates back on again. Hopefully my knees will cooperate! LOL. blessing to you little bro. your classes are great!
This has helped me soooo much. I kept saying what do I do with my foot after kicking out. I kept trying to figure it out and I woke up this morning and this tutorial popped up. I immediately stood in the mirror and tried it out and yes I got it. Continue these tutorials and Thank You
The only thing I have a problem with while I am trying to jb is the arm movements! Could you drop a tip video dealing with that? And I fw the content bro keep grinding!!
Aye man ima shuffle skater transitioning to jb and personally I just wanna say thank you for spreading the Chicago culture I live in Jersey but Chicago always gets a bad rep if this doesn’t shine a good light idk what will 🙏🏾
This helped a bunch bro, crazy how simple combination can create such a drastic effect while rolling. I’ll be sure to share with all my Sk8 family. Please, PART 3!!!
Thank you so much, I’ve been learning JB for about 4 months now and I’ve really been focused on learning the original moves and where they come from. I watch so many videos but it’s always hard to learn when they’re skating so fast. As soon as you broke it down i learned them both instantly! Thank you so much!
So I watched these videos when I really couldn't skate yet at all... like week 1 and I did all the moves but they didn't feel right and def didn't look right lol. Fast fwd to 2 months of skating and being comfortable on skates and coming back to these they make so much more sense. Totally invaluable! Thanks so much again for these videos! I watch other skaters and slow it down and just try to get the moves but there aren't really any other videos breaking down these moves like you so thanks! Also between this and video #1 anyone can have so much fun styling around the rink mixing up these moves and they aren't hard with a little practice. It really makes skating so much more fun!
Great tutorial as usual👌🏿 👏🏿 ive allows wondered what that JB sequence was called (The big wheel) its my fav its seems in most video people finish with that move i always look forward to seeing it. Especially when its in a team 2 to 4 all doing it at the same time 👊🏿
I really like the explanation and multiple angles filmed of each move. I really want to develop the feel for this style. I wish there were some simple exercises you could show to develop the trust of edges. While the lifted leg gets all the attention, there is a weighted skate supporting the whole effort. Take care.
Thank you so much Malik, I was wondering how to skate very smoothly and how all this was called ! now I know JB it is :D ! greetings from Belgium, maybe ill be the first one here to JB skate
Hey nice 1 Malik Thomas I'm from Italy and I always watch n like your videos... I like your style, where did you learned all this..You look like a rasta roller 🙉 Do you have Jamaican roots ? ❤️🖤💚🖤💛💋
Hey great tutorial, couple questions - 1. Do people learn these moves on both legs (eg. switch left for right and vice versa) or is it supposed to be this way only 2. Why do they call it the Big Wheel? I always wondered about that name
I wondered that too but my thinking and I'm not sure but when you go down to complete the move the ending result resembles the shape of a big wheel. Left leg being the big wheel and the right leg being the seat. That's just my guess
hi... I'm Marco from Italy, congratulations and thanks for the videos you post. I was looking at your skates, I really like your skates, could you tell me what type they are? thank you very much :))
I just found your channel and I already know I'm going to take my first steps of JB skating from here. 😊 I only started skating this February, I'm 51 and had no idea that there were so many different skating styles. I'm from Europe and live in Australia, so I realise that I'm very ignorant and need to do a lot more research about the American skating culture (and American history and culture in general), so I apologise if the following question sounds stupid. Watching videos of different styles of skating, I'm more and more drawn to the JB style and I just wanted to ask, is there a reason why most rhythm skating videos on TH-cam hardly have any white people in it? (Apart from this style having emerged from the Black skating community). Is it just not popular among white people or we're just not good at it? 😅
Hey great video! I did have a question regarding the third step. After do you Stan the Man, when you cross your left foot over, in motion you’re just moving it over not picking up your foot correct? Thanks.

Hey nice 1 Malik Thomas I'm from Italy and I always watch n like your videos... I like your style, where did you learned all this..You look like a rasta roller 🙉 Do you have Jamaican roots ? ❤️🖤💚🖤💛💋
It's mandatory to learn JB skating if you are a skater in Chicagoland... Black people here in America have West Indian roots 😂👑👍🏼
Hey great tutorial, couple questions -
1. Do people learn these moves on both legs (eg. switch left for right and vice versa) or is it supposed to be this way only
2. Why do they call it the Big Wheel? I always wondered about that name
You can do the buckey walk on both legs but the big wheel is usually done with both legs with right side dominant
I wondered that too but my thinking and I'm not sure but when you go down to complete the move the ending result resembles the shape of a big wheel. Left leg being the big wheel and the right leg being the seat. That's just my guess
Im from chicago. From
My understanding its called the big wheel because you wind out wide like a semitruck making a wide turn.
@@illwillbo Makes sense never thought of it that way
hi... I'm Marco from Italy, congratulations and thanks for the videos you post.
I was looking at your skates, I really like your skates, could you tell me what type they are? thank you very much :))
🔥🔥🔥Malik appreciate it homie
nice
What type of weels should I purchase? I wanna jb indoors and outdoors.
Great idea using a tennis court. You ever get kicked out? I wanna take my son and go to the one out by us. Didn’t know if we’d get into trouble.
🔥🔥

Blessings to you please let us know what you skating on Thanks.
Dope! 🔥
Can you teach how to stride? Or the forward dip??
So do I need to take off my front stoppers so it won't slow down the flow on the big wheel
Hey great video! I did have a question regarding the third step. After do you Stan the Man, when you cross your left foot over, in motion you’re just moving it over not picking up your foot correct? Thanks.
You are picking it up, and crossing over. You will place it back down and do another Stan-the-man movement!
@@MalikThomas thank you so much!! 😊
Just from watching I can understand I'm late to watching shouldve came sooner
Drop a schedule so niggas can come skate wit u😭😭
Jus bought my first pair of godfathers out of homewood and I been watching yo clips non stop my boi
In other words what boot, plates, wheels thanks
I love Chicago skating but y’all not the only city that JB skates
For sure! However, we are the creators of JB Skating
@@MalikThomas Facts!
JB skating as you know is worldwide 💚🛼🤏🏻
@ 9:17 ... LOL ... I have been saying WROONG for LOONG time
Hey nice 1 Malik Thomas I like your style, where you learned this..You look like a rasta roller 🙉 Do you have Jamaican roots?
You literally taught me how to do this.🙏
