An excerpt of the film 'On the Grind.' In 2006, Director James Cheeks and Photographer Kevin Campbell set out to Long Beach to capture its thriving skateboard scene in the aftermath of a gang-shooting that ended the life of one of the city’s most promising skaters. “On The Grind” follows a diverse group of skaters who are elevating themselves out of poverty with their passion of skateboarding.
