For this episode of Boardly, Vice spent the day skating through Mexico City with Itzel Granados, hunting for spots and making their own. For Itzel, skateboarding is inseparable from self-expression — “I think creativity is really important, because it helps you stand out.”
Boardly is a video series that spotlights people from all walks of life who share one thing in common: a passion for skateboarding that has shaped who they are in equally different, yet unique ways. In Season 2 of Boardly, Style Notes, they explore what skateboarding means to six emerging voices. More than a sport, skating is a powerful form of self-expression. An identity. An art. Above all else it is raw creativity in its purest form.
Check out our interview with Itzel here, complete with photos by Norma Ibarra shot during the filming of this Boardly episode.
