We get many messages to help push out videos, but often from the well-traversed corners: New York City itself, the midwest, Europe, Japan. This was the first edit from Cuba that ever got pitched our way. Much of what we know about the Cuban skate scene comes from American pros visiting the island — some with Cuban backgrounds themselves. There are no skateshops in Cuba, so the hard goods that make it to the island come in the form of donations from those visiting teams.
