SKATEISTAN: To Live and Skate in Kabul

Skateboarding in Afghanistan?
Absolutely. As soon as Australian skateboarders Oliver Percovich and Sharna Nolan dropped their boards in Kabul in 2007, they were surrounded by the eager faces of children of all ages who wanted to be shown how to skate. Stretching out the three boards they had brought with them, they developed a small skate school.

Zak DePiero’s Mario Karting Manuels

When the weather gets down to single syllables and your fingers hurt just by touching the sidealk, there’s no place like the skatepark. Zak’s filmed a video at his local park in Milford with some sick buttery fluttering ninnermans and awesome click knocking manuals. Those are tricks I invented. You’re welcome. – Tony

CT Skatepark Review: Gaps (Eastern Pulse) in Milford

A cold Sunday and an urge to skate means hitting up an indoor skatepark for me these days. I’m not afraid to admit that I’ve become anxious when it comes to skating in 30 degree weather, with wind gusts interfering with my flip tricks. So, this past Sunday, with friends, Jay Naarden and George Lamont, I took a trip to Eastern Pulse’s, Gaps Skatepark, in Milford.

I arrived at Jay’s place over hearing a phone conversation with George about attire, which was quite odd considering both of them are coated in some type of flannel every day.
