Exploring NYC With Next Generation Skaters
This might be my new favorite skate video? It follows a pair of young skaters around the city as they chat about their friendship, share tips about living life, and try skating everything that is even remotely skateable.
Best friends, Ari and Luca are two of the most promising NYC talents right now. They are consistently street skating, crushing events, and are keeping skateboarding exciting for a generation we seemingly missed.
If these two stick with it, we have no problem betting that they’ll be the next big names out of the city, and we were lucky enough to catch them right before they arrive.

God there's a lot I love about this- the skating, the friendship... but I just love its kids being kids in the most healthy way possible. They're out there supporting each other and not being worried about what others are thinking about them- the best kind of summer days, you know?
Also, that kid got the drip with that Western Hyrdo hat. Balleur.
the thing that is forever beautiful to me about skateboarding is that it changes how you view an urban landscape in every possible way

It's obvious that these kids have gained a lot of independence and confidence by skateboarding their city. This really delighted me to watch.
