I was just going to tweet about this one, but then there’s a chance you’d miss the dynamic photography that tells the story. If you read the title of this post, it may sound odd. There’s no level in any Tony Hawk game that takes place in Uganda, and ESPN likely won’t be seeking out Kampala as a city to host an upcoming X Games.

No matter because Jackson Mubiru and friends took it upon themselves to create a skate park in rural country with a shortage of paved roads, in a city where skateboards are, maybe, seen on television. I guess there’s no abandoned pools around either.
