Last year Skateistan organized the first ever Go Skateboarding Day in Kabul, with more than 30 boys and girls taking part in a competition and skate session through the city`s streets. Go Skateboarding Day is a international holiday recongnizing the value of skateboaridng for youth around the world.

To recognize this special day the Skateistan team and the kids will be skateboarding through the streets where Skateistan was born, to the Skateistan park. Upon arrival at the park there will be a competition and all-day skate session, followed by a live Skype conference at 11PM between the kids at Skateistan and the Skate to Kabul supporters in Basel, Switzerland. The skaters in Basel have collected donations for Skateistan and are taking part in a Go Skateboarding Day event where they`ll skateboard along the streets for 5000m distance to represent the 5000 km distance between Basel and Kabul.

So go out yourself skateboarding and join any Go Skateboarding Day event around in your neighborhood!
