A while ago, we have the Uganda Muslims skateboard scene in the eye. Now it seems that skateboarding have invaded the Afghanistan. Check out SkateISTAN; a website on skateboarding in AfghanISTAN.
Skateistan is Afghanistan’s first dedicated co-educational skateboarding school run by Australian skateboarders Oliver Percovich, Sharna Nolan and Travis Beard. The school will engage with the growing numbers of urbanised youth in Kabul through skateboarding and provide new opportunities in cross-cultural interaction and education. They will initially focus on 60 students from a range of different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Student capacity will be developed in skateboarding, skateboarding instruction, project management, life skills and English. Their aim is to develop a program that empowers youth to take leadership on issues important to them and build networks that will counter current ethnic barriers.
Support our Muslims brothers!!!! Keep on skating and grind all the AK47!!!

saw news on Iraq skatepark at INDONESIAN sk8 site. Build by american and also during the opening 2k of skateboard will be give away.
mintak2 diorg dtg utk support sk8 scene.jgn plak menghancurkan islam.
Ok to be honest..zaman skarang ni org kafir tak perang guna senjata..tetapi perang melalui pembanggunan..contoh kalau hang pi MEkah...McDonald, Starbucks pun ada kat situ....lagi canggih dari Iraq..
kalau depa nak hancurkan Islam..kita kat Malaysia ni camner lak...itu semua terletak kat niat dan hati masing2...kita tak leh judge org itu jahat if depa tu kafir or bukan Islam..berjaga2 tu satu sifat yg boleh dikatakan bagus tetapi yakin dgn apa yg kita buat..itu shj..
Boy Ipoh
News on Iraq skatepark is old dude..sejak April..tapi skatepark belum buat so tak nak buh kat news lagi until depa kotakan janji tersebut..
sekian...
aku rasa ni satu benda yg positif.
Aku lagi suka tgk Budak2 Afghanistan ni usung deck skateboard daripada AK-47.
Mana le tau ada yang jadi Pro bole bikin duit tolong famili dia/ sambung blaja ke.
mungkin dari satu sudut ianya nampak harmless....
tapi kalo tgk kat sudut pandangan lain.. kita takut gak kot2 nanti rmi yg khayal.. x sedar yg mereka sedang dijajah.. seprti mana yg berlaku kat malysia skang nie... nama je merdeka tapi....... pemikiran kena jajah...... skit2 amerika2... skit2 amerika... korunk percaya tak ade gurl yg kena marah oleh ibu bapa dier sebb dier x nak masuk so you think you can dance malaysia????
pastu ade lak gurl yg tensen sebab mak dier asyik push dier suro jd artis??? ini suma realiti yg kita sendiri x sedar.... bukan sikit org melayu yg dijajah pemikiran mereka......
bukan nak kata ku elok sgt.. tapi atleast kita ade akal.. so pikir la sendiri....
