JBGODS headquarters Chicago

Moving Into The Chicago Headquarters

Today is Friday, August 1st 2025 and JBGODS is moving into the Chicago Headquarters office. Everything changes from this point on. JBGODS is not just a skate team and music group, but it is also a corporate entity. The company is leading the entire JBSKATE world into the future with a focus on innovation and creative art.

Some very specific things are going to happen at JBGODS Headquarters. First, this is the place where staff is managed. Anyone who applies to work with JBGODS will go to Headquarters for their interview.

International Headquarters

We have established Headquarters for JBGODS in Chicago today and we are immediately looking toward an expansion to France. The company will establish international Headquarters in Paris and become a global JBSKATE organization.

Skaters in Paris, it’s time to invest in some quad skates. A new style is on its way to your neighborhood. Imagine the American skate style, JBSKATING, making its way into the quarters of France. Expanding to France is not the hard part. We need to decide if business will be conducted in English or French.

New Speed Cameras In Chicago

If you like to exceed the speed limit in the city, there is a new speed trap that might encourage you to slow yourself down. There are now tactical speed cameras tracking your speed and they are easy to miss. These new cameras are compact and black so they keep a slimmer, darker profile. They aren’t the large, bulky white ones that we are used to, no. It’s easy to fly right past these ones without noticing them. You don’t get that distant warning with that large, bright flash. That feature is gone now. Be careful!! Slow down in the city. – Pharaoh

Drive Slow Anyway

Everyone is always in a rush. It is not at all necessary to drive at 50 miles per hour through residential streets. You’ll get there, relax. Get used to taking your time. This is how you avoid accidents and tickets. We have enough to pay for already. Don’t let these new speed cameras in Chicago cost you even more money.

Weather

The Weather on May 24th

Today the weather on May 24th is cool in the shade and slightly warm in the sun. You will still need a jacket or a pullover. There is no wind but it certainly feels as though the temperatures could drop later and that the wind could pick up a bit. – Pharaoh

Of Course It’s Cold Again

Of course it’s cold again. The weather has been back and forward this year.

We are in the middle of May and I have to turn my heat on again. The weather has certainly been inconsistent. It’s not a terrible thing but some warm weather through the summer months would be nice.

Chicago Weather

Can’t Wait For Warmth

As soon as the sun comes out, we are outside. This dreary, gray weather is so lame. It just drains our energy.

History Of Bad Winters

Chicago has had some really foul winters over the past ten to fifteen years. We got lucky this past year. There was minimal snow to deal with. We barely had to use our salt in the sidewalks.

We had a short period of warm weather and it was great. After only a few days of sunny weather it’s cold again. This isn’t fair.

Pharaoh Made A Request And RedBull Responded

RedBull responded to showing up to Pharaoh’s freeway stunt. They’ll either provide samples or product sells to the crowd. This is a good deal. We’ll plan the event for about two months away from now so that vendors will have time for preparation. In the meantime, Pharaoh will begin some intense training and communication with the city of Chicago to prepare for this stunt. Stay connected to find out more.


Will Pharaoh be the next JBSKATER to land the axel?? He’s been working on it for so long, yet the results haven’t shown much progress.

Yehoshua Faced KenDraco In Yesterday’s Battle

Some windy weather followed by a slight tornado warning swept through Chicago and the surrounding areas yesterday. However, the outdoor battles still ensued. JBGODS team skater Yehoshua battled against KenDraco yesterday and took his first competition loss. Yehoshua now has a pro skate record of 0 wins and 1 loss.

Yehoshua did take a loss, and that is ok. His presence alone in the competition only reinforces his nomination for Best New Skater. He’s got about three years of experience as a skater and he is doing quite well. As a JBGOD, the demand is always high for more jumps, more speed and more stunts.

The events of this outdoor battle shall be recorded in history.

Man Shot And Killed On Near West Side

It is a tragedy. Assailants shot and killed a man while walking on the sidewalk on Near West Side. According to reports, five men with guns killed him. They got out of a dark colored SUV and fired shots at him. Medical services arrived on the scene and transported the 40 year old victim to Stroger Hospital. Doctors pronounced him dead after arrival. The killing took place on 14th street near the University of Illinois Chicago campus.

People Shot and Killed Regularly

Please do not let the silence fool you, people die on a regular basis in Chicago. It’s a sad reality but it’s true and we should acknowledge this fact. The city is dangerous and there are plenty of people willing to do dangerous things. People get killed or hurt on a regular basis here. Often times the general public doesn’t even hear about it. Keep yourself informed about your area and the trending crimes. This information can keep you out of a bad situation.

Be Vigilant and Be Safe

Criminals often target visitors in the city. They steal cars on a regular basis. Don’t leave your car running. People look for that and they steal cars. This tip is not as grave as the man who was shot and killed on the west side but it’s just as important.

A Shooting On 63rd This Evening

There was a shooting on 63rd that shook up the neighborhood this evening. Someone fired off several shots into a small crowd of people in a parking lot. No one was hurt or killed. For some of us this is common place and for others this is something new and very scary. Immediately after, conversations began. The same conversations that need to be held on a regular basis. What is next? What comes after the conversation? A solution comes next.

Offer A Solution And Be A Part Of It

After all of the talking and deliberating, solutions are necessary for events like this shooting on 63rd. The mistake that we constantly make is pursuing those solutions with inadequate means. A few people can’t do it alone. Only a few people are reached and less than a handful of problems are solved. Then there we are, right back where we started, with the same question. Now what??

Weather

Another Partly Dreary Day In Chicago

The skies are blue but the temperature is quite chilly for this 7th day of May in Chicago. This is technically our summer and we are still getting small bouts of early spring temperatures cooling the air. Don’t let the hue of this dreary day in Chicago damage your mood.

The Chicago Climate

You almost don’t know what to expect from the weather in Chicago. You really have to watch the weather notifications in order to stay ready. As we go into the summer season, the climate is battling against the tornado weather.

A Blue Summer

Hopefully, this dreary day in Chicago will be quickly followed by a beautiful blue summer. We need it already. This past winter was not so bad but we still want that summer heat.

Sha’Carri Richardson is making history again

You might have watched the news and noticed that Sha’Carri Richardson is making history again. According to APNEWS she finished the 100 meter race with a time of 10.71 seconds. She definitely won, and this win makes her the fastest woman in the world. I’m so glad to see her doing well. She was criticized so heavily for nothing and she continues to rise and shine.

Sha’Carri As An Inspiration

Sha’Carri is a leader for Black people everywhere. She is a great example of doing great things and doing them lawfully. She is the kind of example that I recognize and praise. There is no way that it is easy to do what she is doing. You don’t just happen to be the fastest woman in the world. This requires an immense amount of discipline. Winning at this caliber requires a commitment to training as hard as your body will allow you on a regular basis. Taking days off is not an option.

The Science of a Winner

It’s obvious that Sha’Carri understands something about running that most human beings do not. Time and time again, she steps on that track, beats her opponents and she beats them by a lot. What does this mean?? It means that being good is not good enough. Being great at your craft is not good enough. It’s absolutely encouraged to be serious about your craft and to involve yourself in deep thought about what you’re doing. One of the worst pieces of advice that I’ve heard skaters give people who are trying to learn a new trick is to not think about it. This is so untrue. You need to think about what you’re doing. When you think about what you are doing you have a better chance at understanding what you are doing.
