TAJ CAM GOES TO LEBANON

Skating in Lebanon is pretty rugged in most areas, but the skaters make due with what they have. Many of the smoothest spots are located in the heart of downtown by the European designer stores and are patrolled by 24 hour security. When Lebanese rippers are not getting the boot downtown, they are out and about shredding monuments and any other smooth patches of ground on the outskirts of the city. The driving in Lebanon is insane, people disregard lights and drive on whichever side of the street they feel like. You wouldn't imagine skaters having the balls to just cruise down the street to get spot to spot, but they do.

They've devised a crafty, eco-friendly system of one friend driving a moped as they hold hands, pulling each other spot to spot as a skate chain. This clip is just a small taste of skating in Lebanon and made with the hope of developing more skate awareness for the country.
