Meet Taiwan’s Young Skaters Dreaming To Go Pro | Gen Taiwan

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.
Correction (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.
