The Speed Ring Skate Club, comprise of 20 young Burmese with a passion for skateboarding in a country where skateboards are rare.The skaters first learned their tricks at this park.But four years ago it was destroyed, for reasons that are not entirely clear.Now, these skaters have a choice of perfecting their skills on poorly paved and crowded streets or making a five hour journey to the remote capital, Naypyitaw,where Japanese donors built a skate park hundreds of kilometers from the nearest skaters.Akar Bo says the distance means he rarely visits.We need a good place to skateboard.They should have built this in Rangoon, he added.The group has taken matters into their own hands, making a film about their cause that they hope will win over officials―and draw more aspiring skaters to their ranks.Filmmaker Ali Drummond, a skateboarder from Britain who was saddened by the loss of the Rangoon skate park, says the film has helped them believe their goal is achievable.This is Myanmar.No one is going to sponsor us as skateboarders.And, in the past, no one has shown any interest in them.In fact, they'd actually just shown hostility toward them as a group of people, Drummond said.So they had no belief in themselves that anyone was going to help them from Myanmar.So I think this film essentially changed that to a certain extent.To get approval to build a new skate park, the skaters must become an officially recognized sporting federation by the sports ministry.
速度环滑俱乐部由 20名充满滑板激情的缅甸年轻人组成，而滑板运动在这个国家极为罕见。滑板者们在这个公园第一次学习他们的技巧。但是四年前公园被毁,原因并不完全清楚。现在,这些选手想要完善自己的技巧可以选择在地面不平整及拥挤的街道上或者旅行5小时到遥远的首都内比都，日本捐赠者们离最近的选手数百公里处建立了一个滑板公园。阿卡尔・博表示这遥远的旅途意味着他很少去。我们需要一个滑板的好地方。他们应该在仰光建造。他补充道。该组织已经自己动手,制作一部关于他们自己的影片,他们希望影片能够说服官员及吸引更多有抱负的爱好者进入他们的队伍。导演阿里・德拉蒙德是一位来自英国的滑板者，曾为仰光溜冰场的损失感到伤心的他表示这部电影已经帮助他们认识到自己的目标是可以实现的。这里是缅。没有人会赞助我们滑板。而在过去,没有人会对这项运动抱有任何兴趣。事实上,他们会实际上只是对这一类人表示敌意,德拉蒙德说道。所以他们就不相信会得到来自缅甸任何人的帮助。所以我认为这部影片本质上有了一定程度的改变。为了获得批准建立一个新的滑板公园,滑板者们必须成为一个由体育部官方正式承认的体育联合会。
