Action sports are special. They are more collaborative than competitive, making them unifiers and not dividers. Skateistan highlights the power of these pursuits in a quick documentary about the skateboarding in Afganistan. Any interaction that can bring people together and unify them instead of forcing individuals to “pick a side” is something that can build communities and commonality. In this case that catalyst for collaboration is skateboarding. Hopefully more people will realize there is a need for facilities of these kind all over the world.
