In Havana, the semi-derelict Ciudad Libertad was for several years the meeting point for local skaters, who built ramps in the area to practice their sport.
However, the Cuban police have maintained constant surveillance over skaters. In 2018, an event in that discipline was canceled after a police operation was deployed at the site of the competition.
Despite the harassment, the movement has continued to grow with the addition of new members and the support of the community.
