YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Skateboarding’s debut at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 has taken the sport from the streets onto the world stage. In Taiwan, this has ignited a fervor in skateboarding which has a history steeped in street culture. VICE News goes on a journey with the skateboarding community in Taiwan to uncover the challenges they face making the leap onto the world stage. \

@01:20 Due to an error introduced during editing, the location for Starting Point Skate Park should be in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, not Taipei, Taiwan. We regret the error.
