When Was JBGODS Started
Somebody did a web search to find out when was JBGODS started but the answer was not so clear. I can make it clear for you now. There are two separate creation dates for the JBGODS skate team and the JBGODS LLC. I formed the skate team in October of 2022. This was after the first two members talked to me, Pharaoh, about joining my team if I had one. Prior to this, I dedicated JBGODS to the history of our skate style in Chicago.
Was JBGODS Started As A Team or a Business??
We are both a team and a company. I created the entire organization based on interactions with the Chicago skate scene. When opportunity met knowledge and adequate preparation, I took the next step. You may wonder why I made a sudden turn inward and only focusing on my team members. As I said before, I created this organization, initially, to document and highlight the skaters who make up our community here in Chicago. However, people did not know me so well here despite my current reputation. Skaters new, old and those whom I admired and watched for several years rejected my acquaintance and filming. Finally, after one skater who I followed for maybe 6 years at the time waved me off when I tried recording him during a freestyle, I decided to focus on myself. I would no longer give where people didn’t want.
Are You A Videographer??
No, I am not a videographer, photographer or a cinematographer. I have a great amount of respect for all of those disciplines and I am a fan of all three as artforms. However, I only started those things because I wanted them to be done. The goal was to see the names and faces of historic Chicago skate figures in the textbooks of Chicago public schools.
Is Your Name JBGODS??
My name is Pharaoh. You may often see the GodKing Pharaoh, those are my title and name. Please, call me Pharaoh. My team and my company are named JBGODS.
