Tssssssh ;) It’s a marketing headline ;)))
That’s a great looking park, they did a nice job of building all the ramps. The transitions look very smooth. Other than the few worn cracks, that’s a fun looking park to skate.
“tssh its a marketing headline”
its kinda more like an insult to people living in Africa, like me.
just makes you look ignorant.
kewl photos though
Yes, sure, I’m a very dumb scholar. >.<
“on the east african continent”? not to nitpick, but just to help out the geographically challenged americans out there: this should read “on the eastern part of the african continent”.
I am strapping on my skates and checking it out when I go there this summer. There’s not a lot of info on where in Uganda this is located. This would make a great story if we had some bios on some of these skaters, instead its just pictures…. great pictures nonetheless!
More info please!
I love the individual photos of the skaters.
Sorry, not to nitpick, but there are sh*tloads of skate-parks in South Africa (although I only used about 3 in Cape Town) - don’t they count?
