On Wednesday, May 25, Skate Kitchen held their first meet up at Cooper Park for the first time in over two years. The meet up was announced late Tuesday night and quite a few women came out to meet two of the founders and skate around Cooper Park’s basketball court.

I went over to Cooper Park that afternoon to capture photos of the people who showed up and talk to them for Hell Gate. More photos and thoughts about favorite tricks, gnarly bails, and skateboarding being in the Olympics can be found at Hell Gate right here.
