Ethioskate
-The Oblivion's Skaters
At the beggining, we saw skateboard in America. A little travel and now, he's around the world. A little everywhere on earth, some skaters punctuates the sidewalks, skate-parks, and all the places where they're able to skate.
Who would imagine, seriously, that the childrens of a small village of the moutains of Addis Adeba, in Ethiopia, would be able to blaze a new trail with a board ? Ethioskate. It's the project of a man called Israel Degen, who, by seeing the childrens gnawed by boredom and misery sink into all that is drugs and alcohol, etc... He attempted to bring skateboard in the life of these kids. And something that worked, giving to the children the opportunity to learn something that changes their lives.
From the manufacturing of a ramp up to the skateboard tricks, they forged their identity by setting up in the air a few seconds, a few meters from the ground, ecstasy in the eyes of everyone. Three directors wich traveling to Ethiopia were associated with Israel, and turn a video and will assist him to give more scope to the idea. Thereafter, a small site was created, allowing people from everywhere to support them.
The "Ethioskate" foundator, Israel Degen !
Quality video, capturing the emotions well, it must ensure that the project is noble and does not become a source of profit, but only as a legend enacting the skater codes, codes of life.
Have look on the Ethioskate's Tumblr !
