In this clip from The Plug w/ Justin Jay, actor and skateboarder Leo Fitzpatrick — best known for his breakout role in the Harmony Korine–written, Larry Clark–directed cult classic KIDS — reflects on how skateboarding connects people all over the world.

From Supreme, Washington Square Park, and Brooklyn Banks in NYC, to London, Paris, Tokyo, and Barcelona, Leo shares how a skateboard opened doors, built lifelong friendships, and created a global tribe where language doesn’t matter — just your love of the board.
Hear Leo’s stories about moving to England at 18 with no money, finding community at Slam City Skates, and discovering iconic skate spots like MACBA, Palais de Tokyo, and Love Park.
