Here’s something that’s actually our usual speed, but doesn’t always fit into our world of gelato, coffee, and farmer’s markets: skateboarding! From our co-owner Robb to several Dolcezza baristas, to your friendly neighborhood media strategist and photographer (hello!), skating is part of our daily and weekly ritual just as much as coffee.

This weekend we got to spend some quality time at one of our favorite skate spots with our friends Ben, Anthony, Finding a Line, DJ Baby Alcatraz, and many more to celebrate skateboarding and skate photography. Skateboarding is just as DC as punk rock (in fact, the two are almost always intertwined), and we’re always stoked to be in on the tradition.

Here are some of our photos from the event by Farrah (again, hi!).
