Annual Skateboard Day

Skateboarding with a flag on La Ciclovia.

Today was the annual Skateboard Day, which strikes me as one of Bogotá's most refreshing events, thanks to its combination of youth, spontaneity and a healthy defiance of convention.

Hundreds or thousands of skateboarders on Plaza del Rosario.
