If this isn't used as an album cover, then what the fuck are we even doing?

This is from the exhibition on the Gaza Skate Team.

Check the 18th second on the movie on this page.

They have an instagram too (gaza_skate_team). Lots of wholesome content there

Thanks for posting. This is so sad and at the same time inspirational. I want to somehow help/donate to their team, but living in the US as a resident and not citizen, ICE would probably show up at my doorstep if I sent money over. I might try to reach out to the photograph, Ryan Jone, and see how else one can help... again, thx for posting. This really struck a chord in me.

colored version better because it shows the beautiful sea and sky and in contrast the man made destruction and the indomitable human spirit to top it all

u/GrimCreeper913 12h ago

counter point, not supposed to be beautiful for what is on the album. I agree though, that the colo(u)r version is better to me for a picture.

u/cucumbersuprise 11h ago

Could be interpreted as finding beauty even in the worst of scenarios

If this was the late 90s or early 2000s this would have become an iconic cover of Thrasher.  Magazine

I'm missing something, how's Seinfeld relevant to these photos?

u/Kuroboom 15h ago

He got interrupted at a show by protesters recently and was entirely flippant about the genocide and said shit like that he was going to look up how much a protester's ticket cost and said he was going to send that amount to Israel.

u/IzSilvers 14h ago

Worse, he said he's into genocide.

Jerry Seinfeld keeps on failing the "Don't be a Piece of Shit" challenge, even when it's doing the bare minimum to not be a piece of shit.

Thanks for letting me know what happened. I haven't really bothered keeping track of Seinfeld for a few reasons (Main one being that I just don't like him), so that's why this is the first I'm hearing of this.

Before the war started I attended an event by SkatePal near Kingsland Road in London. They are a UK charity for skaters in Palestine.

It's not quite the same. But this reminds me of a show I saw on fuel TV forever ago, about some people dudes skating the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.

Muhammad, Jesus can walk on water but can you skate on a bomb

u/WellOkayMaybe 16h ago

It's a drop-tank, not a bomb.

u/CooperAXE 8h ago

Sadly, once Israel realises they have these skateboards, they're going to destroy them. Fun isn't allowed in Gaza.
