Salad Days Of Skateboarding

Memories from the 9000sqft concrete park we built in Lahore, Pakistan in spring 2023 in partnership between @wondersaroundtheworldorg & @skatepakistan This was our first time working on a skatepark and wasn’t the last! More to come with your support! All donations go toward building skate infrastructure worldwide.

Major shout out to Jomi, a true friend, community organizer, urban planner, skateboarder, founder of @wflsncrm , overall amazing human being. Here he is in the new @waf.park in April, 2024 / same space in January 2024. It was an honor working with @wflsncrm @wondersaroundtheworldorg on this skatepark! The first concrete skatepark in Lagos, Nigeria of many more to come for sure! 🛹🇳🇬🛹🇳🇬🛹🇳🇬🛹🇳🇬🛹🇳🇬🛹🇳🇬🛹 🛹🌎🌍🌏🛹

Our local partner in Guatemala, Jose Paiz, showing that unidos somos más - together we are stronger. In every place we work, we show all our support through our local partners, local skate community leaders who best know what the needs are for their skate community to thrive. Whether it’s skate lessons, municipal sanctioned spaces, skateparks, skate competitions / jams, or school physical education curriculum. We all work together to support the skate goals for their commuties Jose’s been doing lots of great work for his community, hosting free Saturday skate schools and getting spaces approved for skating by his local municipality. It’s an honor to work with skaters like this

Recently went back to Lagos for the @waf.park 3rd anniversary skate jam! It was a pleasure to collaborate with @wondersaroundtheworldorg @wflsncrm to help make this park happen and to come back and see all the life it’s taken on over the past 3 years. More collaboration More parks to come

Pakistan does a few things like no other country: cricket, Chaunsa mangos, and beautiful Islamic architecture, from the beloved Badshahi Mosque to the majestic Lal Masjid. Nowadays, though, Gen Z are rewriting Pakistan’s cultural image, and skateboarding is central to it. Qasim Sharif, a co-founder of Skate Pakistan, first started skating when he was 15, inspired by his older brother. Pulling together a group of friends and self-taught skaters, @skatepakistan was launched online in 2010, first on Facebook and later on Instagram in 2021 as a space to connect like-minded fans of the culture. As Skate Pakistan gained more momentum and connected with young audiences online, the team were approached by the Los Angeles non-profit @saladdaysofskateboarding . Skate Pakistan set up meetings with Pakistan’s local government, eagerly broaching the idea of building the country’s first free skatepark. Now, with over 7,400 followers, Skate Pakistan has transformed from a DIY enthusiasts page to an online hub for skate lovers and newbies seeking out mentorship and intercommunity. They even hand out free, fully kitted out decks for people to use during their session. With their platform blowing up online, @nestorjudkins , the founder of Salad Days of Skateboarding, spotted the account on social media and saw an opportunity for collaboration. A former pro skater from California, Nestor found himself facing a change in purpose. No longer wanting to indulge in personal travelling, he decided to use his platform and resources to help like-minded upcoming skaters.

No hay nada mas poderoso, desafiante y rebelde que la amabilidad. Cuando creemos en los demás y nos apoyamos mutuamente estamos quebrando el ciclo del egocentrismo, el amor rompe barreras con mas fuerza que una bomba nuclear 🌱✌🏽❤️‍🩹🇬🇹
