Photographer Yann Gross, a passionate skateboarder, encountered a group of skaters who had built the first and only half-pipe (a structure used in gravity extreme sports) in Uganda in Kitintale, a working class suburb of Kampala. Gross was fascinated with the skate culture that grew around the sculpture and its function among the local youth. Gross not only photographed the skaters but became a member of their group, giving him an insider's view into their sub-culture.
