This series depicts the highs and lows of skateboarding, focusing on the subtle aspects of the friendships that skaters engage with and the hardships they endure. Some examples of the highs they experience are the tight bonds they form with other skaters, the thrill of landing tricks, and the support and guidance they garner from each other. Some examples of the lows they experience are the times they fail to land their tricks and get hurt while skating, producing emotional and physical defeat. I wanted to highlight the details of these moments that other people might not notice and show the skaters’ determination and perseverance through hardships and the dedication they have to this sport.
