Shottsmann AKA IG Culture travelled to Chicago on a mission to discover the style of JB skating, a Chicago creation.  J.B. Skating has inspired his own style of rhythm skating in London, what he saw left him amazed, discovering that black owned skating rinks have been part of Chicago life for 40 years.  Shottsmann witnessed a scene that can only be found in Chicago.

This is a small segment from an interview between Shottsmann and his host Tom Bailey, long time skater and CEO of Beatkeeper skate products. It took place during a car journey heading for South-side Chicago, home of some of the hottest skate rinks stateside.

Tom touches on Chicago skate history, and sets some records straight.
