What's with BOB?
PHOENIX, AZ – SkateGroove is introducing something new, the BOB designation. You may have noticed some of the rinks on the Rink Link pages and some businesses have the letters BOB next to their company name. The BOB notates this is a Black Owned Business. Please check your state’s page and if you see a rink that you can confirm is BOB, please send an email with that information to Desi at SkateGroove.com. In addition, if you know of any Hispanic (HOB) or Female Owned (FOB) that information is also being requested.
