An earlier version of this article (yesterday) repeatedly referred to these participants as skateboarders; a mistake exposing the writer's general ignorance and the publisher's disinterest.
For Huck, street culture is a single concept to exploit for advertisers.
reminds me of the film 'kids'. good on the photographer for sharing the royalties.
There weren't many inline skaters in Kids. The only one I remember was the one in the background of a scene, that tripped and fell, before all the skateboarders beat up the random guy walking. This was right after many of the characters verbally assaulted a gay couple.
So maybe not a lot like Kids.
I skated those streets at that time. Very cool to be reminded.
