VEF D.I.Y. – Riga, Latvia
Riga skate community is rather small. It sometimes seems that we have more places to skate than skaters to keep these places kicking

Currently our skate program reaches an average of 150 kids every week, 70% of which are of refugee backgrounds, and 40% of which are girls.
Nestled in the Griffith Park area (Hollywood Hills), where hiking trails welcome hundreds of people a day, Bronson Canyon ditch has been the destination for any skater who visits southern California and more specifically, Hollywood. But like the Hollywood movies that have emerged over the years, someone decided to do something new and exciting with a location that has been untouched for decades. Clayton Graul and his crew have recently taken the DIY approach to Bronson Ditch and have added some creativity to its legendary status.
It was the second time these kids organized this event and it was already twice as big as last year. A really nice sunday afternoon with loads of good vibes!
