    I hope they all get a new skatepark thats open all the time a super modern one. Also the ways of bondo so make spots smooth and mod them. Also i hope good condition boards go their way so they have access to board, trucks,bearings,wheels and shoes. Natural skaters it's amazing how they get the strength to skate from being homeless.

I'm looking forward to every single person in Kenya and the rest of the World having a roof over their head every single night.
    Much Love to Nairobi Kenya and their beautiful citizens, God Bless those Hearts, they touch my Soul so deeply.

    I made some of my best and closest friends through skateboarding. I love to see that although how big it has become and all the money involved and everything, the essence of skateboarding, the love of hitting new tricks and just skating and the tight camaraderie with other skaters regardless of anything else is still there. Unlike many other sports, in skateboarding you start from 0. No amount of push-ups and situps is going to help you in the beginning, you will feel it but its worth it. So inspiring to see the power of skateboarding attracting homies all over the planet.

    I used to be a skate boarder, now I am an anthropologist. In anthropology we have a term "communitas" which is the formation of a community through shared experience, usually with something difficult. This video, I think demonstrates the concept of communitas.
