  • i think that what you are doing for those kids is amazing, and keep up the good work! but at 2:38 where the guy does the twelve stair, its not in afghan, its in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. :)

  • Congratulations on your film being selected by the Irvine International Film Festival!  You deserve it! Everyone involved in Skateistan is AMAZING! : )

  • I love the project, but have strong feelings about children used in propaganda. The idea they are violent because they grow up around guns etc, it is simply false. Also, I'm sure the white skateboarder NGOs will try to impose their own cultures belief towards women. In American,freedom equals the right to be like Americans,not to be able to practice your own culture.

  • @PtAltmVansanTarr

    actually is more of human rights then "america culture". if you think women should be treated as smthg less i pity ur mother.

  • as an afghan now living in Canada, i am impressed and very much touched by this project

  • im native ameican skater and you know what skaters were always rebels, this is nothing new, only rebels uniting against the bullshit establishment SKATE ON ROLL ON BROTHERS AND SISTERS

  • This is awesome! There are some really good people out there, so refreshing to see. Wish there was some way I could help out with this?

    Bomb hills not countries....

  • amazing film!

  • This is the trailer to Skateistan - Four wheels and a board in kabul. A feature length documentary premiering in the US and europe in Febuary 2011. Visit skateistan the movie on facebook for screening times and locations:)

  • I remember seeing an older doc on bluetorchTV (i think) where dudes were talking about how they would help smuggle skaters across mid eastern borders risking prison/torture/death just to skate different spots together. And how they didn't care about religion, race etc, they just wanted skate with the other sick dudes around cause it was so few. If anyone remembers/knows this please hit me up!

  • hoy dia vi el trailer de esta pelicula y me gusto lo qe vi soy chileno y me gustaria verla algun dia en chile. ojala la traigan a algun cine arte o algo asi aqui :)

  • this is awesome than ever to hear something like this happening in Afghanistan.

  • wrong-not thirty years of 'civil' war....russia invading, osama and al queda and now america, you call that civil war...thats to the lady when she said the civil war comment in the begining

    other wise nice idea with the skate boards

  • @gurliegurl89 how would you know are you afghan well i am and your wrong .keep up skateistan thanks for your support

  • @soloistinmus

    yes im afghan, im also not stupid. civil war means people fighting themselves. in Afghanistan the problems started from other countries invading, and the taliban were also produced and supported by another country not afghanistan. calling it civil war is way to make it seem like the afghan people themselves are not capable of running there country.(which is false) i never said anything against the movie or the skateboards, i actually said its a nice idea. i hope u get what i mean

  • @gurliegurl89 civil war means two governing bodies within a country at war with eachother, in this case it's the NATO supported afghan government at war with al qaeda and the taliban - both of which maintain control over areas within afghanistan. the u.s. and nato are fighting for the allied government, alongside the afghan national army/police.

  • @gurliegurl89 name the country that started that shit by its name: usa.

  • Jepp!

    *thumbs up*

    keep up

  • Awesome! Keep up the good work! :D

  • wirklich gute sache. macht weiter so!

  • wirklich gute sache. macht weiter so!
