Oliver Percovich from Skateistan | Thrill Of It All with Jamie Thomas - Episode 05

[@AlexGordonMusic]

As a skater and human rights law student, it’s really refreshing to hear someone in the skate world take interest in human rights issues and what NGOs can do for people around the world. Skateistan is brilliant. Jamie, this blew me away dude. Fantastic conversation.

Join skateistan. Become a supporter. It's less than what you pay for coffee a month and actually will change lives. Great job again JT. Keep up the hard work.

[@mathieutrunnell8546]

Incredible story. Brilliant work. Thank you to Oliver Percovich and everyone involved in Skateistan for making the world that much better of a place to live.

[@MALONEY-pg5lb]

I'm from Melbourne Aus and I've skated for my whole life and I'd never heard of Skateistan until now, thanks for bringing this to the masses! keep up the awesome work Oliver

[@jesusxramses]

Sharing skateboarding is the best feeling in life. Love what #Skateistan is doing. This is the best example of what a passionate skateboarder creates. Great topic Jaime .Much Love & Respect.

Mr. Perkovich is THE MAN. he has the soul and the heart for all his deeds in making Skateistan. This episode is sad, but also beautiful. I have goosebumps. I imagine if we in Bosnia had this, without any regrets, what would will happen, but in 91/92/93 skate companies were fighting to survive I guess, and skateboarding was that global. I'm happy for these kids. Keep On! Damir

Great video! So inspiring!Just donated and share it to my FB page.

[@sixish]

By now I usually pause these whenever I am busy or need to go to bed but decided to keep listening for the remaining 50 min just because it was really grabbing. I wish I had this guy's ambition and drive, inspiring stuff.

[@DuffmanOhNo]

Keep it up Jamie. This one was spot on.

[@owenquercia]

Watched this the day it came out and it touched me deeply, the selflessness Oliver is inspiring and I had to fight tears throughout the whole thing. I never knew skateboarding could be so powerful.

[@shredsville7409]

Stoked on this. Got a little choked up. On my way to donate fo sho! Great episode. 👍👊💪🖤

[@aaronbarrettsvisualdiary3600]

Best skateboarding podcast I’ve seen so far, proof that skateboarding saves lives!!! thank you again Jamie, Oliver and all involved in Skatistan

[@sinisterblister9981]

this is so amazing!!! I never knew about the story of Skateistan. From collecting bottles in Germany to become a skate ambassador for people that know how to appreciate it most is just mindblowing

[@cptafar]

What an incredible story, thank you for sharing and for supporting. It feels amazing to know how much of an impact skateboarding can have on ones life.

[@heyjoe710]

Great work on this one, Jamie. That was an incredible story that brought a tear to my eye.

[@mikepenn97]

This is skateboarding. Skateboarding saves life's.

[@5CYL_BTLSHIP]

Wow. I can't even think of what to actually say, but wow. Such an inspiring episode and so incredible to listen and see what has been created in such harsh places with these great people. A lot of people go through life never truly finding their purpose, but Oliver certainly has and it's remarkable. I hope things only grow from here and more people realize the amazing things that can come from skateboarding. Thanks Jamie and Oliver for sharing this with us

[@suburbia8831]

Totally I’ve traveled all over the us & Mexico & Europe cause of sk8boarding

[@suburbia8831]

[@-solidsnake-]

awesome listen. also, i love how no one has to wear headphones and use mics on this podcast

[@sadsixersfan.]

Where can I get that Broken AK Deck?

[@ThrillOfItAll]

SadSixersFan it’s from a few years ago, so it’s not for sale at the moment

[@hickorysmoked8063]

I would buy a few if you print more for sure

[@mikejones3560]

That's what's up

[@SkateJunk]

Stoked on the interview as always but a common occurrence in all of them is too much head room on the wide shot.

[@ThrillOfItAll]

the whole first season was filmed before we started editing, so they're how they are.

[@waxkevorkian7884]

Leave it to skating to create world peace!

[@Ty-guy-3]

The hardness I'm experiencing is only equal to Portland cement.

[@Sskkaattee]

who in the name of god would downvote this

[@ununseptium7961]

This is what our tax dollars should go to, not bombs that destroy the world.

[@thesly74]

To much like The Nine Club man, do your own shit and you'll be yourself.

[@full6330name]

Love you Jamie but you need to relax a bit. Specially with these intro's.

[@ThrillOfItAll]

it was 3 am & I was solo; at that point, you get what you get, but thanks for the encouragement

[@full6330name]

We are thankful for what we are getting. You and the nine club are killing it right now. Ed episode was specially good. Keep pumping them out.
