David's campaign for Skateistan

Hi. I'm Chef David, professional pizza chef, amature skateboarder, horrific speller. Like many middle aged people who have skated their entire lives I've constantly been hounded by the fears of dying before I ever get the chance to drop in on a vert ramp. I grew up in a small village on the east coast called Philadelphia. We had no vert ramps, and therefore I was robbed of the joy of defeating my fear of dropping in on 3 feet of vertical wall.

WELL, now I live in California and just like taco trucks there's vert ramps on every corner. NO EXCUSES! I have decided to take the VERT CHALLENGE and drop in on a vert ramp before I reach the age of 46 on April 10th. To celebrate my hopeful victory, I've decided to donate 1,000 dollars that I do not have to a charity called Skateistan.

check out Skateistan by clicking this link! 

Skateistan builds skate parks in countries like Afghanistan, so kids will have the opportunities to discover the joy in skateboarding that many of us take for granted. Like i said, I don't have 1,000 dollars, so I'm asking my friends to kick in (think of it as a birthday present to me.)
Thank you so much for the support and yes, I will be live streaming it. 

I'll be adding to my youtube as the story progresses. Follow along!
