Skateboarding Is Changing Lives in Rural South Africa
Short Film Showcase
Within the Valley of a Thousand Hills in rural Durban, South Africa, there’s a group of young skateboarders practicing on a half-pipe and a bowl. They’re all part of the Indigo Skate Camp, a movement that looks to nurture sustainable skateboarding environments for rural and vulnerable youths, and Andile Msomi is one of them. The camp looks to empower local Zulu villagers to learn and grow through the language of skateboarding—and that they do.
Public Housing Skate Team
Here’s an awesome video about the Public Housing Skate Team from the Gun Hill Road Projects. See them on a regular day riding their skateboards in the Bronx streets.
This small group of young Bronxites created a brand inspired by real life stories. They have designed skateboard decks with pictures, like the New Yorker who raised a tiger in his apartment.
