- About this Video
- Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York City, pro skateboarder Luis Tolentino has inspired kids around the world, both through his skating and his desire to give back. After working extensively with the Harold Hunter Foundation as a mentor to NYC public school kids, Tolentino wanted to bring the HHF programs to his home country. He returned to DR with a group of four young NYC skaters to meet and empower the local youth by teaching workshops and providing donated gear. Follow Luis and friends as they travel throughout the country in this series (part 1 of 3).
