Voting Members
Only voting members in good standing can nominate subjects for awards. The JBSKATE Embassy is the body of skate community participants who nominate individuals for awards and recommend new individuals for membership into the Embassy. A membership in good standing requires an annual deposit of $500, due 3 months before the nomination period. You do not need to live in Chicago to become a voting member. Members may not vote for themselves.
We have now created our iOS app that allows skaters to get all of the most relevant news in the skate world. Above all skate news is JBSKATE news coming from Chicago, the rollerskating capital of the world. JBSKATING was created in Chicago over many generations. It’s an art form that requires extensive training from skilled skaters who have mastered techniques and libraries of routines. For a good start at learning routines, visit the JBGODS Core Routines. This is a fundamental guide that teaches new skaters the same routines with the core movements of JBSKATING integrated into their choreography.
