Between the X Games and a red carpet premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, Tony Hawk flew to South Africa with The Laureus Sports Foundation for a two-night visit to the Indigo Skate Camp outside Durban. Here’s what he said on Twitter:
Amazing to see Zulu kids skating with no outside influences. . . These kids are fearless, and not jaded by the media’s interpretation of what’s cool. True passion. . . These kids have style for days. Isthumba, Valley of 1000 HIlls, SA. . . Goodbye, Indigo Skate Camp. You are proof that skateboarding can change the world. Great work Dallas.
Seventy hours of travel for 48 hours of sharing. Tony Hawk just doesn’t stop giving back. . . these kids will remember it for a life time.
