Skateboarding in Kenya blog

Late last year, the world was struck by a virus called the corona virus SARS-CoV-2. Some places had been locked down quite early (San Francisco, USA and China) but despite this the world had to continue and we as skateboarders had to continue pushing as usual.   About to go skate However, due to the mode of transmission of the virus; it is recommended that people should wear masks you can find more information about why masks are important here . Therefore, the wearing of the masks is not some conspiracy, waiting for the police to remind you doesn't make sense too; you are protecting yourself and your homies around you. I wear one every time I go skating. Here's a photo Personally wearing a mask while skating is the hardest thing I've ever done; Besides climbing Kilimanjaro. The sweating, the heat and the loss of breath makes it hard to concentrate on landing tricks because in between the panting and the loss of breath the rhythm just tends to slip away. For example, I tho...

Dude we made it to the RIDE channel! Check out the video I enjoyed this video -- seeing everyone stoked. The visiting Danish pro skaters did countless Never Been Done (N.B.D) tricks off the Uhuru park gap, dude! The video began showing them shred Upark and the manual pad with your normal skate crew. On the other hand, this is a tough article to write since I'm so excited about each and every aspect of the video.      There's also another version of Nairobi on wheels on YouTube here . George did a frontside flip off the stair in Nairobi Uni. It was insane. I can't use words to express how amazing this video was. We are so lucky to relive the best videos which made us kick and push in the first place remember: Wake up , Park days , Play skate by Ibra and Otioli and the other O.g's :D. Being a skateboarder is amazing in our time don't you think? Seriously this video deserves being the category wake up is in. What do you think?

I'll dedicate this article to hilarious or not so hilarious questions I'm asked by random people. They could be out of curiosity or just to annoy you either way. They are interesting and very common. How would you reply to these and what other questions have you been asked a part from these? "Naweza fika tao na hiyo kitu?" (Can i reach Nairobi with that thing?) "How long did it take you to learn?" "Are there ropes on your feet?" "You skated from home to here with that?" "Where do you skate?" "Have you ever broken a bone?" "How many times have you fallen down?" A treat from Adam. Check out his store here . Image credit: Adam Image credit: Robotatertotcomics https://robotatertot.tumblr.com/ Image credit: Adam

When i started skateboarding a couple of years ago. People often recommended me to watch some of these videos I've mentioned here. I've arranged them in ascending order. First up, Wake up, I've heard a lot of positive reviews about this ones, play skate and the others. I initially wanted to review each video and say something about it and realised how biased I can be. So i decided to use the views to determine the arrangement. Have i left anything out? Is this arrangement valid. Tell me what you think after going through this in the comments section. As always thanks for reading my post. If you enjoyed it please share with your homies today. :)   SYDNEY YONGO'S PART.

However, it also diverts to an entry into Nairobi University (One of the biggest universities in Kenya). Though during the contest “watu karibu wamangiwe na magari” since cars were just passing through and mind you they didn’t hoot alerting us that they wanted us to move away. Despite using the blocked off route to avoid traffic or go to Nairobi university was probably their aim or not. The contest started at around 2.p.m, I wasn’t there during the start but masketah(skateboarders) were halfway through the match when I arrived. Leo and Victor (Judges) watching the participants ...

The Skate park jam 2016 went down at the Shangilia Skate park in Nairobi, Kenya by Skate-aid.org on the 9th August from 2:30p.m. Those who came early were given Neff watches for keeping time – they were passed out by Daniel Gluche. This all happened as I was travelling to the there. I decided to help out in the smooth running of the contest; I hadn’t skated for 2 weeks give or take. Meanwhile, at the park there was good turnout of skaters and some spectators. Not like in the previous contests where only a handful people had arrived early. After a relatively short time, the skate jam breakdown was established. The participants who were playing, the judges namely Jack from the Uganda Skateboard Union(USU) and Ben from the Skateboarding Society of Kenya (S.S.K) and two of the volunteers Tanguy; He was initially a judge then he chose to film the whole event instead.
