For episode four of Skate Tales, Madars hightails it to Ethiopia to meet the skate crew building a scene from scratch in one of the world’s oldest countries.
The story of Ethiopia Skate is as real as it gets: from a parking lot in Addis Ababa, Henok Yetbarek, Michael Baheru, Ruel Desta, Babure ‘Babu G’ Teferi, Yeabkal Abraham and Yared Gobezie started a skate movement which would snowball with the help of two American skaters, JT Rhoades and Sean Stromsoe.
Within 3 years they would link up with Make Life Skate Life to build Ethiopia’s first free skatepark in the capital, and a year later they would double down on their success by building a second in Awassa.
Nowadays Ethiopia Skate has 150 skaters enlisted from around the country, and has registered as a non- profit in the USA meaning they can accept tax- deductible donations to keep their skatehouse open, build more terrain and, as Sean tells Madars ‘create more opportunity through skateboarding’.
Madars came by to build and inspire, listen and learn in a beautiful one from the Skate Tales storybook.

As the years go by I feel more and more lucky to be an Ethiopian
Same
Miso Horni where in ethiopia are you from?
This is what life is all about. Sharing laughs, havin fun, and being with good people.
Word
yup ;)
mila?
BUT WHAT happens when these kids are hurt skating with what insurance ?
Ppp
this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched in my life
"Back home I'd be worrying about myself, but here I'm apart of something"
That hit deep
This is skateboarding. Bring people together regardless of age, ethnicity, and background. Thanks red bull for shining a light on this awesome new community.
but it takes a white mans initiative to actually make it happen. just sayin
totally :)
amen bro
@@chadfren lmao because skateboarding is a western invention. has nothing to do with "a white mans initiative"
@@chadfren wut
They should make a TH-cam channel. “Ethiopia Skate Crew” someone hook em up with some gear.
Stephen Carmickle they gave them a GoPro
Hells yeah!
When we donate to a big aid company like unicef they dont do this and have much video evidence, they might give them food but they won't build them something that helps them have fun like a skatepark food is perishable memories from a skatepark will last forever, why don't you start a aid company called Red bull aid or something @ red bull, you would make waaay more than unicef and you could build these parks all over the world with the communities and stuff
Why don't they just find a way to buy it like we have to?
kids in Africa could've eaten that gear
This series is just top notch. I haven't ever skated but always enjoyed watching skateboarding, and these episodes are just superb.
Skate!! What’s stopping ya?
@@Sektor826 I don't actually just have interest towards it. I do enjoy watching it. But I'm a winter sport guy, love freeskiing
Go skate!!!
There are no limits
@@Sektor826 yeaaaa!
Makes me wanna go to Ethiopia, man. Seems like some really good people over there.
Lived there three years fantastic people, food, history, music, nature, everything really! Do yourself a favor and visit one day, you’ll certainly enjoy it.
Fr dude.
I've gone twice. Wanna go back for third time. It's the bomb. Great vibes.
Couldn't have picked a better host for this series! Love Madars!
It’s so cool like when you see those guys skate, its the same as in the western world. Theres this connection in skating that is becoming more magical because its brining people together. No matter your background.
I just cried seeing all this beautiful attitude very well done ❤ warming up my heart Big Up congrats Red Bull skateboard from Brazil 🇧🇷 and Hong Kong 🇭🇰
I'm Ethiopian and I'm thankful for you guys for making such a wonderful job like introducing skeatboarding to Ethiopia
And i can see this in being a big campany thank you your blessed❤️
These kids are going to look back and remember these times for the rest of their lives. What a truely amazing gift.
this is good shit. in a time when mainstream skating feels soulless as hell this show is highlighting how much spirit is still at the root of the thing. fuckn beautiful
⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
This is SO GoOD.They fully need it,as we did in the beginning actually WAY more. Kick em down... o-o
This is so dope I really love the rising skate scene in Ethiopia, I'm from Kenya and we skate here too. Maybe one day you guys can pass by 🇰🇪
Just did!
Man I kinda want to go there now. The people seem soo nice and the community is great.
We are very kind you should come you will love it 🥰
same dude, such a rich history in Ethiopia and some amazing culture and by the looks of it people too. I'm sold :)
so good!
I went last year and it was AMAZING
I'd really urge you to go to Addis Ababa. Great city and rapidly developing at the moment. IMO, Ethiopia has the brightest future in Africa, especially once the dam is filled and fully operational.
Can we just give props to the team that put this together! so authentic
Already wanted to go to Ethiopia🇪🇹 its so beautiful , hopefully I can go one day 😇 love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Love you to Kenya brothers and sisters from Ethiopia come to Ethiopia we love Kenyan
I really hope one of those kids go pro and by the way I’m loving this series
If they can figure out a way to market themselves to the world, they can grow and get to that level
Bless these people, they have so little but make the best out of it. Brings tears of joy to my eye.
I honestly wish this was over an hour long. I loved every second of this. More more more please :) great job to all those involved. Really want to go to Ethiopia now, the people there seem awesome.
Madars is the perfect dude for this, he seems so genuinely interested in hearing people's stories and sharing a passion for skating. Really top notch series and I wish more skaters and non-skaters would watch it.
This is my favourite series on youtube right now, cant believe its not getting more views.
the wholesome skateboard stories are awesome and ya boy Madars is a great host, please don't stop at 6 episodes haha
I am Ethiopian and appreciate my brothers for showing these people our culture and welcoming nature. This video made me smile.
When I make it I'm gonna send a thousand new skate boards to their company. It is a beautiful thing
@JCT Nah nah nah. Give them the knowledge and skills to build as many skate presses as they want. That's some real teach a man to fish shit
JCT takes years for companies to get to where they are and start making boards and most of the time companies don’t even press their boards themselves. your acting like a press is the only thing they need to start making boards but it’s never that simple. and plus you really think poor people can afford to do that?
This is amazing!! I was in Ethiopia a couple months ago visiting the country and was searching around for the skate scene, unfortunately I didn’t have time to go to the park. But I’m happy to see this!
That spongy injera bread is the best. One of my favorite foods. Staple of Ethiopia
20:43 lets not ignore the savage hand stand into oncoming traffic hahaha sick
skateboarding is freedom
After every single episode I need to drink a lot of water because iam crying like a baby from the beggining until the end.
Apart from you Bering amazing skateboarder I see you are good human bro!
These episodes are so emotional!
Sending hugs and peace
i love the old dudes just sat there chilling and watching. skateboarding is universal, so sick
Who the hell is cutting onions around here?
When that dude said bamboo ramp I was like wow who’s is cutting onions
gay
@@chadfren Grow up, Chad.
I seriously am..these are my people living a hard life and still build themselves up and enjoying life..this is what a man's life is suppose to be about...way too much respect for all those in this documentary
This is beautiful, please spread more love and culture, one community at a time!
"Skateboarding is all about trust, i trust you" bruh that was beautiful
SO proud of how far WE'VE come .Hell yeah JT OSIDE !!
God damn. They deserve a Skate park like that. Those kids have skills! 🤟
WE NEED A PARK IN IVORY COAST (cote d'ivoire) !!!
Build!!
MXXIII we don’t even have space first
7:02 I don't what they actually say, but after the kid mall grabbed I heard them singing "mall grab, mada mada..." in the background :D
So wholesome story!
How they skate an react to stuff reminds me of the 2000s I miss that man . I wish the states was like this but no you get judged half the time ... I’ve been skating for 13 years it’s saved my life
This is just incredible.
This makes me happy as an Ethiopian 🇪🇹born in California 🇺🇸
I am from Eritrea🇪🇷 I love you skateboard🛹 good job👏 ✌🏾
This needs a super like button!
This game has been great and free game
Now these are proper missionaries
Yep, just exporting globalist culture and consumerism instead of Christianity.
@@themoog924 man needs to shut up
@@crazy-chann thinks she controls what people think. sorry, you don't.
@@themoog924 lmao chill out dude, who hurt you?
The Moog how does skateboarding spread consumerism?
Peace, kindness, brotherhood this is what skateboarding is all about!!
Their park actually looks pretty fun
Look at these talented and handsome Habesha men! Proud of you guys
💚💛❤
Saw a video on you guys going to Madagascar and teaching the kids to skate can’t wait to see what these kids are like
I live there and skates sometimes in the capital (Antananarivo). There is a crazy crew in Madagascar and the level is fucking good (given the infrastructures, and the lack of material and the price too expensive, it just blows my mind how good the level is). Please look out for Ariar Skateboarding (facebook and youtube) and show you support :)
Madars is so perfect for this serie he always makes me smile
I'm ethiopian and this is dope
Michael Baheru is my new hero. Hearing him speak about skateboarding is extremely moving and inspirational. He needs a TedTalk for sure.
Proud Ethiopian here
love these guys. was blessed to meet and skate w alot of the locals in this vid. much love to the addis and hawassa fam. Lets get the kids more resources!!!
Thank you Jesse!
All Skateboard brands should donate them dozen of boards so they dont have to skate shitty decks
Why?
I think helping them set up a small board press to make their own decks would be better... We know how flooding foreign markets with our products works out normally...
chilleundso that would be even better but it would need to be constantly financed to be fully sustainable
@@themoog924 I get a feeling you're not a charitable person, besides he just said why? lol. And before you come up with a stupid response, its donating, they're not obligated to give anything if they don't want to. But if they do, then those kids won't have to ride beat up skateboards.
@@macdee6040 Why do certain Westerners feel they have a duty to spread their culture all over the globe? Can't we just let other people do their own thing and develop in their own way? Also charity tends to breed dependence, so I always think long and hard about who I help out.
18:26 i thought that grandma was skating for a sec
😭😭😭 that woulda been awesome
Same 😭
Thank you for your support!
Ahh man, now I wanna visit Ethiopia🙌🏻
Allways Wellcome 😍
Long live Ethiopia and skate boarding 🙏
BIG UP Ethiopia Skate Crew Jah Bless!!!
Thank you skateboarding! Shout out red bull for coming out there. I hope more skate shops and skate parks blossom. Hopefully more pros come there and visit
I wish we acted like this all around the world. This is what we need.
Lmaoo I'm from here and I've never seen em skate...U learn something new everyday good video
Lol
Haile Bless great works of HIM! Give thanks for the inspiration. Ras Tafari, skateboarding, music, ganja saves lives!

Give the youth a purpose and the world will thrive...
I hope y’all keep supporting them with skateboarding and keep up with them

I can almost guarantee that their equipment is heavily worn since they share amongst each other. Cant count how many times ive heard kids here in the US complain how they need better equipment in order to (insert excuseeeeeeeee)... its nots the shoes sweetheart. Love seeing these kids own it. Kudos to all who helped make that scene come up
😅😅 I Agree
Incrivel a força do skateboarding ao redor do mundo ! Parabéns Ethiopia 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thank you for going to my country and teaching what you can God bless you keep doing it
The Ethiopian kids are gonna light it up!
What a fine production , i have watched the video glued to my monitor, i love your videos so much ! Love from Romania
I really enjoyed this video thanks for sharing! I want more Ethiopia Skate!
Sup my dudes and dudetts, I just wanted to acknowledge the great things these kind men did and I think it's a very good example of people giving back to what they love and it honeslty its so humbling to see
Peace and love from Aotearoa 🤙🏼
This might be my favorite skate video ever
Man this is one of the reasons why I love Red Bull and my Californian brothers
This Ethiopian skate crew need to start a TH-cam channel ASAP. That way they can build there own brand and audience that they can leverage to made their own independent skate company then re-invest back into the community.
This was brilliant!
Thanks to all who volunteered and build the skate Parks.
DBC.ASH .. Daily Blessings Coming!
Thank You and God Bless!
5:30 very cool brother. Hope to touch that side soon ! Jah bless
I saw your video from like 2016 where you went to India you guys should go there again and see what its like now
I already watched it on the websie when the first episode came out but it’s such a good series ima watch it again. Keep it up red bull and madars!
I love this series. And you guys do something good for the world. 💪
went back and watched the ones i missed. cant wait for the new seasons. thx mars and red bull.
I remember getting into drugs when I was around 13 instead of when I was 10 because I was busy skating, when i was young, skatepark are very important for developing mental health and memories and stuff for youths if you play video games only you might become depressed and dependant on only that
How old are you?
This is so dope, like the Bones Brigade. I would love to go down there and give these guys some tattoos. What an amazing place
Its Super Nice! To see beautiful souls help out other people with beautiful souls. Is magical. Mucho amor and respecto! Skating has been bringing strangers together sense pavement waves. #skatergirl #skatelife
I love these Skate Tales series, keep them coming! So amazing
This was a great beautiful journey! Rock On! Spread Love & Skate around the world!

Good stuff madars spreading the love worldwide
Great series! Support Madars and go watch his part in the new DC video, Domino
Wow! That’s amazing! I hope Red Bull and other sponsors are supporting these guys. They need more exposure! I want to help!
