  • Our first episode of Skate World: Sweden finds us in Malmo, where the ever motivated Pontus Alv and friends show the true meaning of DIY spirit. From their beginnings at the now defunct Savanna Side to the straight rawness of the Train Banks Spot the Malmo skaters take matters into there own hands when it comes to street spots.

    as i like to say and share with folks in other similar vids / groups, i absolutely love seeing this ! and like the game of chess; which is called the great equalizer. no matter who you are, what language you speak, what color you are, what economic background you come from, chess is chess and anyone can play against anyone. same goes for skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, they are also great equalizers, it is universal, no matter if you from Canada, Kenya, Australia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Russia, japan, that all love to skate and are doing the same things, as well as creating new tricks. enjoying it, having the same passion and love, no matter who they are or where they are. skating and skate-parks are universal.

Way to put your energy in achieving a common good as opposed to dwelling on the pitfalls that sometimes just occur in life.I'm tired of people fixating on the bad when the good is bitch slapping them in the face!
