A few photos (the following two as well as this image) of the skatepark in Havana, some of the work we put in, and a competition at the end of our trip. Still plenty of work to be done, and that’s why we’ll be back again in January.
DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO BRING SKATEBOARDS, GEAR,
AND CREATIVELY ALTERNATIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO THE CUBAN YOUTH
Orly, a young Cuban skater who will probably be doing kick flips by the time we return in 2012, is skating around La Fuente during an afternoon skate sess
Mamerto!!! aka Yojaní Perez grinding at 23yG in downtown Havana, the spot that truly catalyzed the skate movement in Cuba. Stay tuned for more photos and continue to support our efforts, check our YouTube page, Facebook and Twitter accounts, and most importantly, spread the word to friends, family, and skaters near you
