Good to see Skateistan doing well. I heard Apple is sending a good will representative to the middle east to help advance jogging as a recreational activity for kids. I think they said they were going to Iran.

Hey transgendered freak, nice to see you took your hands off your grandma’s balls for an hour to type some ridiculous response to a joke comment I made. I’m sure this is the proudest the scientists who have been performing genetic experiments on you have ever been!
Wow, Your a dick.
Skating is great, and you learn as you go.
Those kids are young, and clearly just learning to skate.
Did you see any giant ramps?.. i didn’t.
You didn’t see all those helmets? I did.
Go troll somewhere else faggot.
cool project!
that man deserves lots of respect!
Aww so great.
lol kids fighting for it
best thing i have ever heard of.
the big bro probably doesnt want her to become westernized/americanized
its…understandable
got to look it at both sides of the coin
wish the vid gave an actual reason why the guy didnt want her to skate
eh….the guy probably would have said “no comment” anyways
