Watching someone skate Kabul is stunning.

Unfortunately their 30 year civil war has been almost totally funded by America.

Build ramps, not bombs!

Without safety equipment and good medical care I wonder if that's a good idea.

Dude, you sound like my mom. Its about chicks brah. If we had money we wouldnt show-off. We would just pull up in the car our dad bought and be done. Poverty breeds exceptional athletes, although the mid east seems to be behind on that front. They're good at powerlifting though.

Jason, have you seen Macho Taildrop? God, I need to see if it's on Netflix.

Skateistan definitely looks rad. It sorts of reminds me of the documentary on Fuel TV about the skate scene in Cuba. Kids are literally making their own decks from wood presses and generic plywood. It's crazy how something as simple as skateboarding can change and effect the lives of kids.
