Maen Hammad talks travelling to Palestine, meeting some local skateboarders in the West Bank and how skateboarding can be a positive force in the lives of Palestinian youths in the Ted Talk ‘Pushing Borders – Skateboarding in Palestine’. This is an articulate and impassioned report on how the four wheeled plank can change lives, and we highly recommend you watch!
