Building Skateparks & Community With The Uganda Skateboard Society | SKATE TALES S2 Ep 5 – Red Bull
The Uganda Skateboard Society has recently launched a fundraiser with the goal of raising money to buy land to build their next skatepark. In 2016 the local skaters in Uganda built a DIY skatepark, which has formed a cornerstone of the Uganda Skateboard Society and become a gathering place for skaters in the area. The community is now at a place where they are looking to raise funds to purchase land for the new home of skateboarding in Uganda, so that they can buy enough land to have a store and an office as well as a new skatepark.
The Story Of Double-Amputee Pro Skater Felipe Nunes | SKATE TALES S2 Ep 4 – Red Bull
Felipe Nunes is a 22-year old skater from Curitiba in Brazil. Aged just six, he lost both legs while playing on train tracks. After five years in a wheelchair, he was given a longboard to get around on. That longboard would become a skateboard- and the rest is history. In a short space of time he was competing in and winning contests against all-comers within his native Brazil.
People began to notice just how talented he really was. Aged eighteen, Felipe felt ready to make it beyond Brazil and started a social media fund to enter Tampa Am. Tony Hawk championed his cause, and Felipe was headed to Florida. Incredibly, he made the Semi’s, and finished 21st overall as the only adaptive skater in the contest! Felipe had the skateboarding world’s attention, and soon joined Tony’s brand Birdhouse Skateboards.
In 2019, he scored the cover of Thrasher magazine and did The Loop, second go.
Now pro for Birdhouse Skateboards, his career has gone from strength to strength. Skate Tales is all about the skateboarding stories you don’t hear- as the man himself says: no excuses!

Experience Native American Skate Culture With Apache Skateboards | SKATE TALES S2 Ep 3 – Red Bull
Douglas Miles Junior is one of the scions of a new wave of indigenous skaters fusing their roots in native American culture with the modern movement of skateboarding.
Born and raised in Arizona´s San Carlos Apache Reservation, he was introduced to skateboarding by his father, the acclaimed fine artist Douglas Miles Sr.
Doug Sr. had started painting on skateboards as a medium and given the groundswell of interest this created, he founded Apache Skateboards, a brand in which the Apache community could recognise a connection to their own culture within this relatively new form of expression.
As a marginalised and often overlooked people, Native Americans have proven incredibly resourceful in developing and nurturing new iterations of their ancient culture, and Doug Junior spent his formative skating years touring other indigenous reservations teaching Native American youngsters how they could become drawn into skate culture without losing sight of their own heritage.
Sometimes, when you can’t find space for your own chapter, you have to re-write the book.
