Growing up in the 2000s meant living between the street and the early internet, between family structures and youth subcultures, between a lack of information and expectations about the future. On the outskirts of Tudela, a small town in northern Spain, a skatepark became the meeting point for teenagers often labelled as misfits, outcasts, or troublemakers.
KICKFLIP treasures the testimonies of eight of us whose adolescence was shaped by this place. Looking back from the present, we revisit years marked by limited references, narrow horizons, and a lack of tools to understand the world around us. Skateboarding becomes an excuse to talk about everything else, about the everyday scripts that shape who we become: school dropout, substance abuse, the discovery of sexuality, gender expectations, social judgement, boredom, emotional vulnerability, and the construction of identity through youth subcultures.
