LONELYBONES | BOSTON, MA

We at LonelyBones are exactly that - lonely skaters who are tired of feeling unwelcome and underrepresented by traditional skate culture and of having no one to learn, grow, and skate alongside. We're not waiting for the skate industry as it is today to make space for us; we're creating and fostering that space ourselves to be representative, dynamic, and most importantly - safe from anything that isn't strong foundational community ties and the love that comes with that.
Leaders: Claire Lee and Rayven Tate
