A decade ago, skateboarders in Philadelphia were under attack. A ban on skating in <strong>LOVE Park<\/strong>, the internationally renowned shredding paradise, turned the city\u2019s public spaces into dangerous ground. But just as the movement against skateboarding gained momentum, an advocacy group sprung into action. Since 2000, Josh has been working with the <strong>Franklin\u2019s Paine Skatepark Fund<\/strong>, along with co-founders <strong>Bryan Lathrop<\/strong> and Brian Nugent, to build and advocate for skateparks. It\u2019s a skillset that combines a talent for raising money, a taste for politics and city planning, and a knack for community building. Today, Paine\u2019s Park is a meeting place for the city and one of Philadelphia\u2019s finest and most inclusive public spaces. Josh Nims is a lifelong skateboarder with an affinity for politics and city planning. He is co-founder of the Franklin&#8217;s Paine Skatepark Fund and operations manager for the Schuylkill River Development Corporation, where he works to revitalize and redevelop the lower Schuylkill River and reconnect it to Philadelphia\u2019s urban core.<\/span><\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NOC_XHicymY\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<table style=\"height: 94px; border-color: #ffffff;\" width=\"822\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 816px; border-color: #ffffff;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Another great one, from the father of modern street skating,<br \/>\n<strong>Rodney<\/strong> talking this time about context shapes content.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">its his third appearance in the Ted Talks, and surely not his last one.<\/span> <\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gwjlDBjNzXk\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div>\n<table style=\"border-color: #ffffff; height: 92px;\" width=\"805\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-color: #ffffff; width: 799px;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Sebastian Linda<\/strong> shows how skateboarding trained and taught him about his approach to life.

In 2007 Oliver moved to Afghanistan from Australia when his girlfriend took a job in Kabul. Bored, he would skate the beleaguered city, and became a sort of pied half-piper, attracting street kids that would follow him around and ask for rides. Shortly after, Oliver founded <strong>Skateistan<\/strong>, a grassroots &#8216;Sport for Development&#8217; project on the streets of Kabul. Today, Skateistan is now an award-winning international organisation with projects in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa. The organisation is the first international development initiative to combine skateboarding with educational outcomes. Skateistan is non-political, independent, and inclusive of all ethnicities, religions and social backgrounds, offering both skating and general education classes for over 1000 boys and girls each week.<\/span><\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HnYN2yDqZew\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you never heard about these &#8220;Ted Talks&#8221;, it&#8217;s an organisation who does inspiring public talks from people all around the world.
