For episode four of Skate Tales, Madars hightails it to Ethiopia to meet the skate crew building a scene from scratch in one of the world’s oldest countries.
The story of Ethiopia Skate is as real as it gets: from a parking lot in Addis Ababa, Henok Yetbarek, Michael Baheru, Ruel Desta, Babure ‘Babu G’ Teferi, Yeabkal Abraham and Yared Gobezie started a skate movement which would snowball with the help of two American skaters, JT Rhoades and Sean Stromsoe.
Within 3 years they would link up with Make Life Skate Life to build Ethiopia’s first free skatepark in the capital, and a year later they would double down on their success by building a second in Awassa.
Nowadays Ethiopia Skate has 150 skaters enlisted from around the country, and has registered as a non- profit in the USA meaning they can accept tax- deductible donations to keep their skatehouse open, build more terrain and, as Sean tells Madars ‘create more opportunity through skateboarding’.
Madars came by to build and inspire, listen and learn in a beautiful one from the Skate Tales storybook.

When we donate to a big aid company like unicef they dont do this and have much video evidence, they might give them food but they won't build them something that helps them have fun like a skatepark food is perishable memories from a skatepark will last forever, why don't you start a aid company called Red bull aid or something @ red bull, you would make waaay more than unicef and you could build these parks all over the world with the communities and stuff

I'd really urge you to go to Addis Ababa. Great city and rapidly developing at the moment. IMO, Ethiopia has the brightest future in Africa, especially once the dam is filled and fully operational.

@JCT Nah nah nah. Give them the knowledge and skills to build as many skate presses as they want. That's some real teach a man to fish shit

@jaya5920 4 года назад

JCT takes years for companies to get to where they are and start making boards and most of the time companies don’t even press their boards themselves. your acting like a press is the only thing they need to start making boards but it’s never that simple. and plus you really think poor people can afford to do that?

@bambidelaforet 4 года назад

I live there and skates sometimes in the capital (Antananarivo). There is a crazy crew in Madagascar and the level is fucking good (given the infrastructures, and the lack of material and the price too expensive, it just blows my mind how good the level is). Please look out for Ariar Skateboarding (facebook and youtube) and show you support :)

@mellowtron214 4 года назад

I’ve always loved Madars, I subbed to his personal channel and it’s filled with videos of him just globe trotting and skating anywhere and everywhere. He’s always doing shit like this, going to scenes and spots that are far off the beaten path. And he is a great skater with a unique style. I think skating is a unique “sport” in that it’s more of an art form than a sport. There is no real goal to it, there are no points and there are no teams. It’s one of the few physical activities I’m aware of outside of like... Olympic gymnastics, where *style and grace counts above all else.* I am glad to see how some surfer stoners in Cali invented a “sport” that is now transcending languages and cultures and has become a global sub-cultural icon. From Cali to Brazil to Ethiopia to Iran to Chechnya.

@jusplay7309 4 года назад

It is called kushneta in Ethiopia. It was popular with street kids to make these out of a plank and some old bearings that were thrown out of car repair shops. They would ride this down a hill or hitch on to a moving vehicle to entertain themselves. It is actually quite fun but dangerous too as there is no protection from a fall. I haven't seen one of those since the late 90s though.
