A Park For The Pros Brings Skateboarding To The Kids In Kroksbäck | THIS IS OFF THE WALL | VANS
The Kroksbäck Skatepark was originally built in Malmö, Sweden for the Vans Park Series World Championship final in 2016. Once the event was over the skatepark was left behind for the city to enjoy and what has developed since is more than we expected. In particular, a group of local kids have picked up skateboarding for the first time and have made the skatepark their second home. This is a story about that community and the power of skateboarding.

Actions REALized : Nate Viands – REALentless
Our journey with Nate Viands started over 3 years ago when his Dad Scott reached out to REAL after Nate was diagnosed with Leukemia a few months before his 4th birthday.
Nate couldn’t play normal sports with other kids because of the shared germs that could be life threatening to his weakened immune system. Scott, who had grown up skating in Philly but had been off the board for over a decade, thought he could use skateboarding as a way for them both to take their minds off the rigorous cancer treatments. A quick trip to Exit Skateshop and Nate has been skating relentlessly ever since…
A simple ‘Thank You for making a board small enough for my son’ message has grown into a friendship with the Viands family that REAL wouldn’t trade for anything.
REAL flew Nate out to SF to surprise him with a new Actions REALized board to raise money for The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Needless to say he skated non-stop the entire time.
See all the photos from his trip to SF as well as the LTD REALentless Board and Shirt, benefiting the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia on https://actionsrealized.com.
Don’t stop pushing Nate. Just take a break once and awhile, you’re making the rest of the team look bad…
