Screen shot from Skateistan: To Live and Skate Kabul

Among the tanks, the ruins, the detritus of war, the youth of Kabul are learning something new—skateboarding—and 40 percent of those skating are girls. The sport was introduced to the country by an Australian skateboarder in 2007, who went on to found an NGO to build a park on the donated grounds of the Afghan National Olympic Committee: http://www.economist.com/blogs/prospero/2012/09/skateboarding-afghanistan
