Farewell to Jas - a good friend

The Skateistan crew would like to pay tribute to our close friend Jason Bresler who was killed with two foreigners while arriving at work yesterday morning in Kabul. In the 2 years we have known him, Jas has been an awesome friend, an even better motorcycle mechanic and a true believer in our project and the capacity of Afghans to help themeselves. We will fondly remember his famous rooftop BBQs - where he made both Afghans and internationals feel equally welcome - and our dozens of motorcycle journeys together for a long time to come.  Jas - Respect and peace. Our deepest condolences to friends and family in Kabul and Sth Africa.
