KONDO TAKAMARO | HISTORY OF GREEN

1991, the story began.
It all started in a park located in the middle of Tokushima city, a prefecture of Shikoku Island
in the Island called Japan. Since the park had smooth ground and ledges, local skateboarders were attracted to this hotspot. Because there was a building called Green House besides the park, they named the park Green House. The Green House turned out to be the most favorite spot for them. They came to the park everyday, kept enjoying skating and hanging out.
However, in 1995, because of the reconstruction, the park had turned out to be the different place, which was not good for skating anymore. The skaters had to be away from Green House.
After 10 years, Green House finally opened for skaters again. This time, it was not the park, but the skate shop. Again, This brand new Green House had become a great place for the skaters to hang out.
However again, because of the financial crisis of the shop, the Green House had to close the door after about 3 years.

Despite the fact that there is no longer a skate shop, riders of Green House tightened up their relations. Their long friendships allowed them to come together like a family. They share the roof of the Green House. Tokushima skateboarding lives on as Green House does.
