Skateboarding Adventures in Pyongyang: A Unique Experience

A Polaroid photo of an Asian boy in the mid-1980s, wearing brown military-style and a helmet while skateboarding on top of a skateboard ramp with crowds watching below. The scene is set against a backdrop of city buildings and street traffic. He's performing a nice trick that gives him joy. His face shows excitement as he smiles at the camera.


Dear Lucas,

You won’t believe what I saw today! Look at this photo—a kid here in Pyongyang was skateboarding with a board he made himself! He even jumped with it, right in the street. It was so cool! 

I wish you could see this place. The colors are so different, and everything feels like an adventure. Do kids skate like this in Brazil? I’d love to see your tricks if you’ve learned any.

Write back soon!
Your friend,
Jinho
