I worked on this project for about three years in Moscow, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Minsk and devoted it to the several generations of Russian skateboarders since 1989 till 2009. I'm involved in scateboard scene since 2002. The skateboard is apart of street culture and it should be considered as multiculture which includes various subcultures and trends, such as sports (there are big competitions for professionals), the industry (sale of clothes, boards and other attributes make the multy billlion industry), music (skate-punk exists as a spesial movement), art (art group of a few dosens of people - Beautiful Losers position themselves as a group of artists with skateboarding roots). Usually children start to skate in 13-14 years and finish around 23 though some devote to skateboarding all their life. In Russia the skateboarding unites children from different social groups and subcultures. The guy from well-to-do family and the guy from suburbs, the punk and the rapper, the guy with the right views and the guy with left views can skate together. Without exaggeration I can tell that for many of them skateboard had granted a new life.
