History in the making. We teamed up with Skate Jawn to bring you a look at the first-ever multi-state skate tour in Nigeria. Over 10 days, the SHAPE crew traveled from the capital of Abuja to Uyo and finished in the heart of Lagos.
In partnership with Skating Is Risky and New Balance Numeric, we hit the ground to bridge the gap between the local Nigerian scene and the global skate community. This video isn't just a highlight reel, it’s a look at the street spots, the locals, and the raw talent that proves Nigeria is the next frontier for skateboarding.
Special thanks to our guest pro The Skate Nomad for the energy he brought and to everyone who came out to the jams and contests. From giving away 50+ pairs of NB Numeric shoes to building DIY ramps in new cities, the goal remains the same: empower the scene.
