Boards for China


Thanks to Andrew Martin at Galaxie Skateshop for helping make this opportunity possible. After my first trip to mainland China it became pretty obvious that, outside of Hong Kong, rural kids had no access to anything skateboard related let alone the money to pay for it. With the help of Galaxie Skateshop we rounded up spare decks, trucks, and wheels to make four complete setups to bring over. These will be the first, to my knowledge, skateboards to land in the rural areas of Guangdong province in southern China. I'm gonna try and film as much as possilbe about the experience from beginning to end and post the edits shortly after my return. Additional thanks to Ran Barnaclo and Mormo Jehomo for helping me get everything setup. Hope this shit gets through customs!
