I'd love to go help out! As an aging skater & even in my youth I always loved the joy of giving skateboarding to someone & changing their lives! Good for you guys!
Skateboarding may be one of those few things that can actually bring more of the people of this world another step closer to one another because skateboarding is freedom,regardless of the surroundings.
These guys are really inspiring. There proving to the world that there is hope for there peopleof Afghanistan, and that the children there aren't all gonna grow up fighting. These kids might not know it yet, but they are gonna help bring peace to there country !
This vid totally blew my mind... The contrast between those ruined buildings and these skating kids just trying to still be kids in such a mess is trully mind taking!!! S/O Sk8tin' Kabul Kids.
You are making a huge difference for these kids. I hope they feel some sort of feeling close to the freedom I felt when I was a kid riding my Duane Peters board and getting rad.
This movie is so touching and REAL! I just returned to the UK from Afghanistan. There are still so many issues which need to be addressed. I'm proud of these kids for finding a passion within such a situation. Peace.
I can’t imagine myself at all without skateboarding and who would I be without it, all my friends, hobbies, clothing style and choice of music, it’s all thanks to skateboarding and when I'm seeing these guys who skate no matter what, tears well up in my eyes, 'cause only suckers and morons wants to wars, all normal dudes have been riding boards for a long time! No war!
Videos like this should be seen and made more often. It really gives the impression that kids in Afghanistan are no different to kids over here, they just want to live a happy life like people here do, they don't all want to just grow up and drive planes into buildings as most Americans seem to believe.
What a beautifully shot and edited video. Have watched it over and over - didn't even read the subtitles till the 4th time as the film was so captivating. Congratulations - wonderful video.
Beautiful video, amazing program! And like Mr. Peralta, I had tears in my eyes the whole time I was watching! I would love to know more about Skateistan and if there is a way to donate or support.
Really nice to see... there is always peace and love even in a war torn country.. Skating definately makes you feel free.. I especially liked the courage of the little girl.. standing up when even her own father is against her feeling her freedom.. They must love skating even more than us who can skate freely here in the west... Bellisimo.. SinghSkater76..
First of all i have to say thank you for this great product and I hope you make one skatestan in Bamyan and Barchi Kabul Cause there are too many boys and girls intrastate to skateboarding.
I'd love to see some pro's visit these kids, reckon it'd help them so much. Such an inspiring video to watch and i feel the pro's would spur them on to keep doing what they love.
Mate I agree with you and I was trying to say basically people all over the world people are no different we all share are emotions. I love this film recommended it to so many.All I was trying to say was your Neighbour, my Neighbour are capable of horror but you and I understand that and look for the best in all of us. Peace.
Please, what happened to Afghan skater Fazilla? She was an apprentice since the beginning of the project. Did she leave the project? He never appeared in the Skateistan project videos again. She is fine? Congratulations on the project in Cambodia and South Africa as well.
People die all the time here. I know it because I am in Afghanistan. Im just saying its nice to see people do things they want to, hobbies that interest them, instead of having their culture reject their interests for them. Its about freedom of choice in the darkest of places.
that empty pool they were at was built for the olympics but ended up being used as an execution place for the taliban , they used to hang people from the diving platforms. so nice to see liberated children playing on western toys there now lets hope thier future continues to brighten for them.
I read 3 words of your comment and got bored. I say what i want, its called freedom of speech, ill shorten whatever words i want and use them in whatever context i want. Nobody tells me what words i can and cant use. Not you, not anybody.
Good video. When the Allies leave it will be a shame when the Taliban return if they are as oppressive as last time. We never tackled the heroin production problem to begin Afghani's trip towards a moderate, sustainable government. Big shame.
Oh shit, so they should actually be getting fashion tips? Thanks man, we'll get working on that. Send over some fucking thrasher hoodies and skinny jeans!

Skateboarding can help bring unity to this generation... There is hope for their future.
A beautifully cinematic film and an unseen perspective here in the west, bravo.

obrigado pela atençäo ao bem mendes!!!❤💛💚
That's because I love this sport.
I wish I could skate one day in my fatherland in Kabul. I hear every day “go home” i will do one day.

Salam & hi. I'm from the future. Is this project still running ? I really want to know about these young people how is their life now ?
thats amazing...
Yo that's crazy 0:53. What an epic video👌
All I can think of is the recent events in Kabul and all of Afghanistan. Where are these lads now?
Hi stevethemole1. You need to turn cc off - closed captions. There aren't subtitles over subtitles on the film - its your settings.
This video is documentary evidence that skateboarding is the coolest shit on the planet.
long live Afghanistan
I think it was Nov 10, mine was too. I was trying to think where I had heard of this before.
fantastic
my favs.
actualy I rememberd it! so not to worry.
Please, what happened to Afghan skater Fazilla? She was an apprentice since the beginning of the project. Did she leave the project? He never appeared in the Skateistan project videos again. She is fine? Congratulations on the project in Cambodia and South Africa as well.
What I recall is that unfortunately she got married off and left Kabul
keep on skating mate!
People die all the time here. I know it because I am in Afghanistan. Im just saying its nice to see people do things they want to, hobbies that interest them, instead of having their culture reject their interests for them. Its about freedom of choice in the darkest of places.
good song
My English GCSE paper was about Skateistan, I think November 2010 (though it could have been January 2011)
@grainmedia Great film! Can you tell me what the song is that plays at 6:00 and onwards? Thanks
All Things To All Men - Cinematic Orchestra
I wish I was in Afghanistan Kabul I fuckingg really miss my countr
Keep skating guys
This is class!! :O
Question to the creators of this film: do you know the fates of these kids? Any track of what has happened to them?
so where can someone watch it??
its something to do with the youtube update all your videos will get it unless you change it in your settings
Great film!
Which is the name of the song in 5;40 min?
+Varoush Bono that is an excellent question. i found the answer with shazam app.The Cinematic Orchestra ft. Roots Manuva - All Things To All Men
All Things To All Men - Cinematic Orchestra
They have a better skatepark there than my whole county haha
that empty pool they were at was built for the olympics but ended up being used as an execution place for the taliban , they used to hang people from the diving platforms. so nice to see liberated children playing on western toys there now lets hope thier future continues to brighten for them.
We got a bad-ass over here!
Damn!

and disabled comments cos its getting ridic
What are the songs called?
Patrick Jonsson - Kabul Palace
All Things To All Men - Cinematic Orchestra

+Artyom Ivanovich Darul Aman Palace built in the 20's by His Royal Majesty Amanullah Khan.
great alllllllllllllway someone that has to dislike it nob
that goes hand in hand with a warzone unfortunatly, thats what the whole country is.
cool story
I read 3 words of your comment and got bored. I say what i want, its called freedom of speech, ill shorten whatever words i want and use them in whatever context i want. Nobody tells me what words i can and cant use. Not you, not anybody.
so nobody is going to talk about the goat head at 0:57
There are jungles in Africa, you know that right? And i'm not really racist home-boy, I just love it when people get really pissed off ;)
Estas aqui x Richar
Good video. When the Allies leave it will be a shame when the Taliban return if they are as oppressive as last time. We never tackled the heroin production problem to begin Afghani's trip towards a moderate, sustainable government. Big shame.
RIP
2:56 Coping mechanism for all the shit he sees. 😥
HD Cameras in Kabul?
Pues a mi me trajo Richar :-)
Keep skating and rock the fuck on! Screw the all out losers in the comments, who gives a shit what they think, keep up the good work!
No, they're the guys in Star Wars.
check out the skateistan channel on youtube!
what? I dont understand AT all.
Afghani j. Cole?
What the hell do they find to fight about?
These leaders need taken out of the equation, and let the people deceide
Its been fun winding you up. Listen to some Immortal Technique for some educational informative lyrical wisdom.
so telling people that have the right to their own opinions to die is not holding us back at all from evolving?
Oh shit, so they should actually be getting fashion tips? Thanks man, we'll get working on that. Send over some fucking thrasher hoodies and skinny jeans!
