That was done really well. Emotional and very important.

I hadn't heard SkateQilya mentioned in a long time, or Johnathan Mehring (always appreciated his photography).



Gnarly.

Crazy to think who in here would still roll to the park if they're tear gassing you. Incredibly brave

This reminds me how fortunate I am to raise my children where I am.

I love how they have couches to teach the kids. Will we be seeing a surge of pro skaters in the future? Let's hope so.
I don’t care what anyone says, a tit mouse’s tibia is a thing of beauty.

Yo thank you for sharing this! I finally watched it and love it. So touching to see how much skateboarding means to that young women. As someone who’s spent a fair amount of time in Palestine, this was especially meaningful to me. For those who haven’t watched, it’s only 13 minutes so it’s not a big time commitment

For people interested in some other skate films on Palestine check out Pieces of Palestine by Jacob Harris (Atlantic Drift) featuring Tom Knox and other Isle skaters:

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

And Absurd skateboards from Russia made Yalla Yalla which features the same Skatequila camp.

another great one.
cant wait till we start seeing rippers from Palestine.
Crazy to think that pretty much no matter where you are in the west bank youre neve more than 50km away from the closest Dreamland\Grindline concrete park and you have no access to it.

On a similar note, Nestor Judkins Salad Days of Skateboarding is breaking ground on their skate park in Pakistan.

They've made it easy to donate.
