We woke up to a message from our pal Ricardo Lino and a link. The note said: “I got sent to Africa again in July to do demos for an African company at a trade show with two skateboarders and we all got the chance to skate street with the locals… and that’s what you can see in this video. Please note the evolution after one year of skating (when we went there for the first time). They are SICKKKKKK.”

So that’s what you need to know about blading. Take it places. Show people what’s up. Make sure they can get gear. Watch it thrive.

Thanks for the update, Lino! Keep up the great work.
