The skate community in Warsaw, Poland wanted a skatepark, but the city wouldn’t build it. So with nothing more than initiative, they took matters into their own hands and turned an abandoned shopping center into a one of a kind place to come together and skate. Watch as they knock down walls and reclaimed the rubble. It’s raw and imperfect, and that’s exactly how they like it – it’s theirs.

Shot and edited by Julian Klincewicz with the help of Michael Cukr, this year’s brand campaign features three global skate communities, each using the power of skateboarding to create the world that they want to see.
