Skateboarding in Kenya blog

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.

A video we did the past. We wanted to beat Kiaro's record to make the grid in the video. But we ended up looking for spots and getting some good footage. If you haven't already watched the video check it out! Otherwise, subscribe to my blog and YouTube channel. See you on the flip side.  (:

Spare parts are also crucial. Equipment? Where to get it? Well for starters Xone Skateshop is a one-stop shop for roller blading and skateboarding equipment. It was in Muindi Mbingu Shopping centre- 1 st floor. It had everything you name it; but unfortunately it’s no more . I’m still using some equipment I bought there such as screws and wheels. All is not lost though I’ll tell you where you need to go. On the contrary, David - the stakeholder of the shop still has things he’s selling, use the contacts section. BADWOOD Skateshop I’ve neither visited nor bought anything from there. But in future I definitely will.   They possess mostly equipment from the company Element. But Leo Ki...

How many kickflips can you do in a row? Would you want to know? I’ll try explain the next best thing of how you can figure that out. You just need a pen and paper or Microsoft office in your phone ; I used to use Polaris office in my smart phone. In game of S.K.A.T.E, the word skate has 5 letters right? What if you played the same game with a single trick for instance, backside 180. Depending on how much you’ve practiced the trick your results will differ between you and your opponent(s). That consistency can also change as time passes by. These factors are what my skate project are addressing. I made a YouTube playlist that explains how I observe your trick consistency in detail. Instead, of going through that again. I’ll spend this time explaining why this is important.   The skate project Photo is from the channel Sliceace Firstly, you’ll be able to answer the question I have begun asking. How many kickflips can you do in a row? Since you’ll be recording your...

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. From inquiring from Timothy – the time keeper, he was recovering from past injuries. Afterwards, came signing up of...
