Skaters from Cali to Texas hopped on their boards in unison this weekend to peacefully protest and show support for the Black Lives Matter movement — and the scene is unreal.
This weekend proved to be another few days filled with anti-racism demonstrations to decry the death of George Floyd and others, but none were quite as creative as skateboaders coming together and going for a communal ride through the streets of S.D., L.A. and Austin.
They call it Skate for Peace, or Push for Peace. Pretty straightforward.
Sounds cool, right? Wait til you see it in action … it’s like something out of a movie, honestly. Nothing but the sound of wheels rolling across the pavement — purely awesome.
Now, these types of get-togethers have been going on for weeks nationwide — but this weekend’s skate protest was especially noteworthy because of the sheer numbers — and the fact that they took up entire streets without too much push-back, it seems.
Well done, everyone.
