Kickflip in Pyongyang

Dear Lucas,

You won’t believe what I saw today. Look at the photo—
a boy here in Pyongyang skateboarding with a board he built himself!
He even jumped with it, right there in the street.
It was wild. Beautiful, actually.

I wish you could see this place.
The colors feel strange but alive, like the sky is always holding its breath.
Everything’s a little off, in the best way—like a dream you forgot you had.

Do kids skate like this in Brazil?
If you’ve learned any tricks, I want to see them. Promise?

Write back soon—
Your friend,
Jin-ho
