Skateboarding, Hip Hop & Gangs In The Streets Of Long Beach: Skate and the City

(Skate And The City LA: Ep. 2): Pro Skater Terry Kennedy shows how music, fashion, and skateboarding intertwine on the streets of Los Angeles. Terry takes it back to Long Beach, the birthplace of his skateboarding career, and talks about how the realities of the gang-influenced streets informed his rise in the skate community. Skater Felix Arguelles drops by to share how the Cherry Park scene help bridged racial divides and grew to become a skateboard tourist attraction. Terry and LBC rapper Crooked I chat at Victorious Barber Studio about how they experienced the fusion of hip-hop and skating in the early days coming up in Long Beach. Terry hits El Dorado Park, the neighborhood’s first actual skatepark, with Kevin Romar, Jacob Walder, Diego Najera, and Scott Kane, then takes it to the legendary Belmont Ledges with Chad Tim Tim. Skate And The City continues in Downtown LA next Wednesday on Network A.
