Here are some shots I took on my previous trip to Jamaica. To most people, skating in Jamaica sounds as bizarre as the ice bobsled team, but it is in full effect and growing..fast. The kids are embracing it and showing some serious effort. I wouldnt be surprised to find that just as Jamaica harbors the worlds fastest runner, if nurtured, there may be some serious skate talent in Jamaica. Im curious to see who will be the smartest brand to pick up on this opportunity first. All the kids need is gear and support in return for an evolution of the sport. The kids go hard.
