'Chub Rollz' skaters club defies body image stereotypes

Description

Dozens of people gather for the first meeting of a new skating club in Alameda, California, called Chub Rollz, aimed at defying physical stereotypes in the sport. Founder Andy Duran says the club wants to help those who don't traditionally fit into roller skating or skateboarding body types. "We wanted to create a space where plus-size folks and fat bodies could feel safe to practice skating, skateboarding and not have to feel judged or made fun of for their body size or their ability level," Duran says.
