Skateboarding, in the collective consciousness, has always fallen into clichés of endless fun, sunny days and colourful ways. Far away from the audiences of mega-ramp shows, and the Californian postcards, skateboarding seems to be quite different. It’s not all a bed of roses in the lives of all the anonymous skateboarders. This practice involves a lot of sacrifices, patience and pain, and skateboarders seem to be dancing constantly between the invisible line of love and hate. This photo endorses a feeling every single skateboarder on earth has felt, desperation, anger and rage when the board doesn’t seem to love you anymore.
