PREMIERE: Mike Mag’s “Burden Of Dreams” – JENKEM
Florida native Mike Mag headed down to South America to forget about the burdens of life in The States, and to film an entire part at spots found while traveling down the Amazon River.
The title of Mike’s part is a slight give it away to his inspiration, but if you are unfamiliar with film director Werner Herzog, you might not have caught the reference to his film Fitzcarraldo, or the accompanying documentary about how it was made, Burden of Dreams.

How Skateboarding Is Transforming The Lives Of Kenyan Street Youth | SKATE AFRICA Part Two
So, ladies and gentlemen, if you have not already had the pleasure then allow us to introduce you to George Zuko – a candidate for raddest human in the world today. As with Sandy Alibo in Ghana, George has been a talismanic figure in the development of skateboard culture here in Kenya.
How about this: George is a skater who helps run skate camps at an educational orphanage where the country’s first skatepark resides. Think about that for a moment. Children sleeping on the streets are by no means uncommon in Nairobi, and George introduced us to two young rippers who once slept right by the local skate spot – and started skating as a result. With George’s introduction of skating into their lives, The Keedz (‘the pair’) are off the streets, enrolled in school, and ripping.
Samuel Mwangi and Ezra Nyongesa – everyone calls him Balo, though – proved constant companions for Jaakko Ojanen, Chenai Gwandure, Yann Horowitz and Jackson Pilz as our joy bus spent a week rolling around with the skate scene of Nairobi. Sam even shot Balo’s front board photo from this feature on his first try with a camera. Fast learner!
The Shangilia association which runs the educational orphanage space where the radiant skatepark resides work with hundreds of such children every day. Watch Patrik Wallner’s superb documentary on Jaakko and friends’ skate mission with the local rippers of Nairobi above.
