Skateboarding: Londoner finds diversity in sport he loves

A west Londoner who has made a name for himself on social media has spoken of the diversity and friendships he has found through skateboarding.

Faisal ‘Tre’ Shah unintentionally forged a reputation on TikTok for being the guy who skates in his garden.

Since taking up the sport, he said he found the skateboarding community to be more diverse than he expected and his Pakistani heritage was not an issue. 

The 28-year-old says he wants to use his new-found notoriety to travel the world, meet other skateboarders and document his experiences.
