Uganda Skateboard Union’s Video Preview
POSTED January 31, 2009 BY Lee Basford
“our film is slow but in the works. It will cover the construction of the park, interviews with the skaters, a super hero short film, skating footage, and lots of goats and ducks”
They have some amazing photographs and stories on their blog, like how they originally had to skate barefoot and how the first mini ramp was destroyed by heavy rain last November (the structure of the ramps are actually made from soil). The website has some additional information about the work the Uganda Skateboard Union are doing to bring skating to Uganda’s youth through small donations from all over the world. You really need to take a look at the photographs they have, really inspirational stuff.
Like Uganda’s boardmaster says… Skate and feel free
