The Skateboarding Show

Is the Rock n Roll an expression of someone’s character? It’s hard to explain but I’m wondering if that’s the case.

In this 3rd and final part of this mini series, I bring my conclusion to the question: is skateboarding a sport or an art?

Skateboarding media does not represent reality and never has done. In this podcast I explore how it would look if it did. As always, just some thoughts and ideas to ponder.
