Exploring countries where English is not the most common language has given me some of my favourite skateboarding memories and photographs: Following a crew from Madagascar around the city of Antananarivo; skating the streets of Wuhan, China, on a steamy summer evening; meeting local skaters in Mendoza, Argentina; exploring the concrete jungle of Seoul by skateboard; getting lost in Tokyo after dark with a large crew of local skaters; and getting to know my adopted homeland of Aotearoa, New Zealand from a skateboarder’s perspective over the last 15 years.
