Readout: Meet the Snagglerats
from ARE WE EUROPE Hosted by Sam Haddad, Juli Simond
Despite skateboarding’s inclusion in the Olympics and the recent push for equality, most skaters are boys. This story is from our latest magazine, The Sports Issue, and uncovers the story of "The Snagglerats". They used to skate at their local Livingston Skate Park—known as Livi—and would often be the only ones there. In 2019, filmmaker Parisa Urquhart, whose uncle Iain originally designed the park in 1981, saw them skating there, and decided to make a documentary about them. She called it Long Live Livi. Produced and edited by Andrei Popoviciu and Priyanka Shankar.
