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
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.
It is a tragedy. A man was walking on the sidewalk when he was killed by five men with guns. They got out of a dark colored SUV and opened fire, killing the man. Medical services arrived on the scene and transported the 40 year old victim to Stroger Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The killing took place on 14th street near the University of Illinois Chicago campus.
There was a short lived incident 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. 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??
Chicago had some hot weather on BC Monday this week. The temperature inside the Glenwood Roller Rink was high. Many of us were drenched in sweat before the warmup songs finished. The floor felt nice though, it wasn’t dangerously slippery or mysteriously sticky. The conditions were just right. Even though the city had some hot weather on this BC Monday, I prefer that over cold air hitting my sweaty body during a session.
Slippery Floors or Dirty Wheels
I’ve learned that often times when the floors feel slippery but not everyone agrees with you, then the problem may be your wheels. Several time during this session I kept rolling through blobs of sticky dirt that gathered on my wheels. I could feel it rumbling between my wheels and the skate floor. It feels like I rolled over a small wad of gum.
Hot Weather In Chicago
There’s something about the hot weather that just makes the hood erupt, it happens every year. I always advise people close to me to stay away from bad situations. No need to rush into a confrontation. They are going to happen. Problems come every year, especially when the weather is hot. So, keep your cool, keep your distance and keep your freedom.
The JBGODS are leading the way with a new mobile app. Currently the new app is in production to be first published on Google Play. This is a huge step forward for JBSKATING in Chicago and all over the country. There are currently 5 mobile apps in production by JBSKATE. They are on their way to Google Play. Android users get ready, a new era for JBSKATING is on the way.
We are the leaders of this culture and this community. We make moves that no one else ever thinks about. This is what places is ahead and it will keep us there. Under my guidance, the future of JBSKATING is immense. With a solid foundation and a vast organization across the country and industries, our hobby will grow into an industry of its own. We’ll get there. We are getting there.
How Does a Mobile App Lead the Way
Simply put, nothing of this caliber exists for us. Nothing like this exists for JBSKATING alone. We have to use other means and platforms to show our presence. However, this is soon to change. Get ready and stay that way. We doin God s*** only.
Take a look outside in Chicago and you will see gray skies and brisk breezes. The winter weather is making a slow exit from the city as usual.
We are weeks into the month of May and old man winter still has a light grip on the city. I had to turn the heat on inside of my home at night and inside of my car on my way to work. This is rich for the summer, cold air in May.
AC Turned Off in May
This is crazy. We have reached the end of May and the weather is still chilly outside. I’m running the heat in my car and in my home to keep warm in the summer month of May. This is the wildest thing ever. The winter weather still has a strong grip on the Chicago climate. Over the past week, there has been a lot of rain and some severe thunderstorms. Trees were stripped of leaves and branches yesterday. Broken tree limbs litter many of the streets and sidewalks. Piles of wet leaves gather on the corners of the roadways.
What happened at Glenwood last week, fights at the skating rink? Who really knows. Things happen all the time. Fights at the skating rink, they happen. What can ya do?? Watch?? Record it?? Leave immediately after?? Stay away for a while..
As a child, I thought that after a certain age that people did not get into heated fights. Atleast, not in public with strangers. I’m not sure why I thought this. There was no clearly defined logic in my mind accept that adults didn’t behave that way. But, to my dismay, we do.
Gotta Go, No Violence for me
The moment a skirmish breaks out, I’m gone. Even if it clears up and the function goes back to normal, no thanks. I don’t like to be in an environment where people can not control their emotions. Plus, things can escalate even in silence. First, there are words, in most cases. Then that moves to hands and feet. You know what comes after that, I’m not tryna be around for it either.
