SPOKE TOO SOON? December 5 2008 Skate
In the Fall, we released a t-shirt that made the statement, "People in Manila Don't Skate". The shirt was heavily inspired by my experience in Manila; I was bummed that kids didn't have an outlet like skateboarding. I'm not sure what contributed to this reality - economy, poor infrastructure, whatever - but that's what I noticed. Our shirt fell into the awareness category, as we wanted to help bring skate culture to the pacific islands.
Lately, it seems that its getting there. Team Manila now carries long boards in their lifestyle store. The Daily Grind had a photo spread on skaters in Subic Bay. And then today, Tim (Sunday) sent me an article from Volcom. Some of their team visited the capital city and had themselves a three day session. Check it out HERE.
