Board in Egypt

On November 30th 2008 Professional Skateboarder Shawn Mandoli, and Boarders for Christ representatives Josh Tyvan, Wes Luke, John Mark Shorey, Jordan Halland, Chris Lauri, and Vince Marjes left for the opposite side of the earth with enough skateboards to fill a skateshop. Their goal was to give away the skateboards while they travel through Egypt skateboarding in front of thousands of Christians and Muslim egyptians.
This video is a short chronicle of what they experienced while being Board in Egypt.

im egyptian too and i know that many kids are very poor there.

how are they gonna buy trucks if a set costs like 500/600 EGP?

[BoardersForChrist]

We actually had trucks for all the boards as well, however, the Egyptian government held them up at customs and we were not able to have them with us....our whole intention was to give out completes....we gave away gripped boards, wheels, and bearings beings the trucks werent able to make it into the country.

Hey all, its nice to see that the skateboarding scene is evolving!!! but the disadvantage was this session seperated muslims and christians, many muslim skaters including me are trying to make the skateboarding scene here in egypt better as i am a muslim and i have been skating for almost 4 years, but i am happy that professional skateboarders came and told egypt about skateboarding...

Keep rollin

@Liveandletskate666 its something spiritual and to be honest good but its only con is that muslims arent allowed to go to that session!

[Liveandletskate666]

@7bling7 it's pretty wack, isn't it? skateboarders that have to bring Christ into it, as opposed to just bringing skateboarding.
