The condensed story of the creation of the first park on the tiny Mediterranean island of Malta in the edit below is just part of a fascinating and heartwarming piece about the history of skateboarding in Malta which you should really check out here.
What makes it of particular interest to UK skaters is that legends Stevie Thompson and Paul Silvester both lived there and contributed heavily to the scene.
Say goodbye to the next half hour of your life.
(ps- anyone interested in finding out more about the Bulgarian/ UK dimension of the Maltese story may be interested in a feature in next month’s edition of this mag).
