    Seriously every episode is just gold .....skateboarding has come such a long way... From being seen as a pastime for punks and criminals , looked down upon by the general public, to being seen for what it is, an amazing art form that celebrates perseverance, creativity, & community... This show really captures what skateboarding is....

      Isn't it funny how Red Bull shows up to virtue signal & make themselves look good while leaving behind absolutely nothing to make skateboarding sustainable for these people? It's kinda like "here's a couple of setups to roll on for a few months until they're completely trashed and you have to go back to your life of poverty...enjoy!"

      ​@TheHevquip you clearly have never been to a third world country. Shit that lasts us a few months lasts people there years - if not decades - because they continue to repair it.

      I am an old guy now well past my prime, but I’m watching this just before leaving a construction site and I bet my eyes look red because they’ve been tearing up. I miss the days of pure innocent joy out with my friends, trying to figure out what skateboard can do. Not a care in the world. What I mean is I certainly had things to worry about off the board, but when I was with my friends skating, none of it mattered. This video is so pure.

    Wow. After undergrad I packed up everything I owned, sold it, and moved from Canada just north of Mokono in Uganda. This was in 2016-2017, so it was before the skatepark there was built. To see this is phenomenal. I would have visited in a heartbeat. I sent the link to Brian Lye, in hopes that he sees what a positive impact he has had on the country and skateboarding as a whole. My biggest regret is not bringing my board to Uganda, but I'm happy he did. Thank you for the episode. Beautiful, and very touching. ❤️

    Much love...greetings from Iceland. Hey yo Rashid that 180 shuvit grab transfer you did was hella sick man.
    I always love seeing when people watch a skater do cool tricks for the first time in their lifes and see just how amazed they are and how hype they get when crazy tricks are being done right in front of them. It reminds me of when i saw it for the first time. Like when i watched hokus pokus (80s H-street skatevideo) for the first time and i was like wow! I want to do that! It really is magical.
    It was the same for me when i saw He-Man or something simular but it was within my grasp and actually possible to do so i got so excited that one day i was going to be doing that... and i did except for turning pro and being at the same top level but you know what i mean. Every skater knows this feeling and remembers watching skatevideos before going outside all hyped out to the max and driving some neighbours crazy by visiting every single corner of the neighbourhood scouting for new spots. If it was skateable we tried to skate it..even if it was only 3 broken stairs right by their frontdoor..or backdoor...or behind closed gates 🤠🥳😎 good times...that started like 30 years ago and i still get hyped when just seeing something simple butnreally steezy..the sounds of the wheels , then the pop and perfect landing. Thats aahhhhh

But the way this was done more reality TV style with interviews with the locals, seeing what the culture is like in a place so small, the food a million things were great about this. One of them being able to see how skating style develops in a bubble so to speak is really cool. It gave me nostalgia of how it was when I first started skating.
