DC SHOES : CUBA SKATE

DC Films is proud to present Cuba Skate. This short documentary highlights the efforts of the nonprofit organization and their dedication to cultivating a sustainable future for skateboarding in Cuba. DC pro Madars Apse joined a crew of skaters and cinematographers as they got a hands-on, inside look at the burgeoning skate scene in Cuba. Beyond just bringing skateboarding to the island, the film showcases how Cuba Skate brings the youth together and helps them to develop useful life skills.

Big respect to everyone puting their heart in what they love and putting together enough strength and solidarity to share with others

[@kingdubz5876]

So great go cuba!

[@victorperfecto6267]

if Nike really care about skateboarding, they should help these underprivileged communities. Props to DC

[@1337murk]

Nike uses underprivileged communities to make their shoes for $1 a pair. Fuck Nike and the skaters who ride for them

[@hentaifansandpfpusermustdi7021]

True, Nike sb feels like just an opposite version of Dc shoes.

[@Moeazy.]

we’re here in Nairobi, Kenya working with the youth skateboarders on the same initiatives, major blessings to everyone striving towards a better future! I love skateboarding

[@wesleyackley]

This documentary was official. Much respect!

[@mr.tw1st3r50]

MAD respect. this concept has been my lifelong dream. to bring the beauty of skateboarding to places where it's hard to get. What an inspiration!

[@looseygoosey23]

This really triggered something in me... in my community we are literally around 10 skaters alone, and I gotta say we are a few the ones we get to watch these videos and see how skateboarding develops around the world, makes us proud of what we do, and makes us appreciate skating even more, life would be boring without a skateboard, stay motivated folks, love and good vibes from a small town in Mexico!

[@rubenscavarra3297]

skating since 1982 ! I remember trying to make my own board (and setting up wheels/trucks from a roller skate. Still skating despite my arthritis knee isn't helping that much thought! This documentary made me smile and crying at the same time (the struggle to skate, kid breaking board and not skating for Months, the little girl's jumping the stairs and the smiling after it was so cool). Ohhhh skateboarding. I've met the best people in my life because you! Thank's

[@jackwelch6017]

So cool to see americans who are working in cuba that are actually interested in uplifting the people, and not just trying to facilitating regime change!

[@masteringanxiety]

Amazing means so much being Cuban American ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇺

[@LUVJZ]

Gracias por tomar en cuenta la comunidad latina! 💯🤘

[@cosmicbackwoods]

[@premonemo]

I'm always skating a messed/2nd hand setup but this puts things in perspective. I would love to go to Cuba one day and bulid/skate some diy.

[@waves1point0]

[@ZackDowdy]

[@chrismiller7168]

[@brandonritchie106]

Thats inspritaional, this should teach everyone, if you wanna make a difference to sit around and hope for the best, get out there and be the change you want to see in the world

[@osm1718]

"Access and excess of everything" that left me thinking we usually take what we have for granted, and sometimes we're ungrateful meanwhile there are people all around the world wishing to have what we have.

[@arnieroo]

Great work! You guys are awesome for what you're doing!!

[@terrancefraenkel4979]

[@ezt1085]

Pure joy all around. Letsgooooo

[@p2arthur]

AMAZING!!

[@TheLifePhoenix]

Freakin rad. American kids have no idea And I say that bluntly but humbly, because I’ve skateboarded (as just an average joe) in India, Malaysia and S Africa in the early 2000’s and it put things into perspective and so this Cuba gig means something to me. Not marketable, just real for the kids. ‘Mercia skaters are so culturally shaped for popularity and $$$

[@georgematthew1682]

Divine work 🙌🙏💯

[@plata4m]

Que Deus abençoe o Skate, os Cubanos e as pessoas que fazem acontecer de verdade.

[@juliusdunninger7651]

[@user-dk7uh9ur4n]

So sad see this video now when de government are taking that space 😢. Amazing work ❤

[@MannyVideosCZ]

I'm thinking, maybe it would be a good thing to bring those kids some non-abrasive grip tapes, maybe it's not perfect, but definitely better when you don't have acces to much skate shoes.

[@tokioalive3121]

#respect 🫡

[@jamiebizness1]

Is the park builder from Canada? I'm curious he sounds canadian or American but is it not the case that Americans can't enter cuba

[@fierosurf]

the cuestion is is legal skate in cuba ?

[@pupiberto]

this is great, and more skaters should adopt this view of taking care of public (and private) skateable spaces. If you want to skate it, at least repair the damage and don't be an asshole

[@joseantoniojimenezmendez9627]

Cuba 🇨🇺 libre

[@datboidrew420x]

hardflip front crook tho

[@claribeltajada8117]

We need one skate parck in republica dominicana please se need help😕

[@fierosurf]

nosotros isimos ese yo muchas veces pero la policia los destruye

[@wolf-e2432]

had to laugh: "skateboarders want to take care of public space." Then you see a skater wearing a "Skate and Destroy" shirt. Oh, the irony.

[@pupiberto]

yeah, well in one hand you have the concept of "destroy" as a way to say you dominate the spots landing great tricks, but on the other you have real cunts who literally destroy the public and private spaces without remorse, even feeling good about it

[@pujangwidodo5238]

.

[@mezmay12]

Respect for not wearing m#sks

[@datboidrew420x]

I heard you can't smoke weed there tho lol fuck that

[@fierosurf]

cuba is a dictatorial regime skate is ilegal too a go jail many time for skate the police steeal you skate if you smoke weed you go jail 10 years

[@ale.x_sk8]

Cuando vienen a cuba de nuevo que estamos jodidos sin tablas

[@fierosurf]

no de pendas de los demas el 11 j botate pa que en el futuro tengas tu propia tienda

[@onesecondstudio]

[@profoundwanderer1441]

I waited 2 months for DC to email me, they couldn't deliver my shoes. Yeah.. just wanted to get that out there.. warn the people.

[@simpgang3334]

[@josemunoz-tr5dj]

I don't like it sorry really boooriing......for example more skate , more spots ,more tricks,more music ...less bla, bla, bla

[@moedemama]

[@TJ-ph8eh]

[@fierosurf]

@@TJ-ph8eh cubans dont have a rides bro im cuban and is real we almos cant recor in public

[@hernandezmarkie7382]

This is cute and good for them kids but if you think that state guards are gonna be okay with you disobeying them by a kid saying "aye its cool we are creating artistic expression" that will be his/her last day on earth

[@jedlynch4820]

This could have been an hour long and we all would have finished it. 🛹
