Warum der Bassist und Co-Founder von Pearl Jam heute Skate-Parks baut

Klasse Statement in Form eines Videos mit Jeff Ament, Bassist und Co-Founder von Pearl Jam. Er spricht über seine Beziehung zum Skaten und warum Skaten für Kids etwas ganz Wundervolles sein kann. Kuhler Tüp, wie mir scheint.

While achieving tremendous success in the music industry as the bassist and co-founder of Pearl Jam, Jeff Ament has made it a mission to pay it back as an activist, philanthropist, and skate park builder. Growing up with humble beginnings in rural Montana, Jeff witnessed not only the tranquility of rural life, but also the difficulties that can often accompany growing up in extremely isolated areas. Luckily, Jeff found skateboarding, fell in love with it, and discovered the self-confidence that it can inspire. Remembering his roots and the positive effects skateboarding can have on young people, Jeff currently helps build epic skate parks in some of the most rural and deprived areas in the west. His most recent venture on the impoverished Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota is maybe his most rewarding project to date.
