> MAKE A WISH FOR DAKODA LEE
Hello everyone,
Dakoda Lee is a 16 year old skater who has had a tragic accident and is now a quadriplegic who can only communicate by eye movement.
His one wish is to see one more session at his beloved home skate park, Toowoomba CBD Skate park, QLD.
On Sunday November 13, 12pm, I will be there along with Cuzza, Mikey Mendoza, and a bundle of other Aussie rippers having a fun shred for Dakoda.
I am inviting and asking any skateboarders in Australia to come down, fly up, drive up, hitch hike up, skate down/up and join us for a day that will make Dakodas wish come true.
I am not asking for product donations nor cash donations, just Australian skaters coming together and helping Dakoda feel the love from his fellow shredders.
If you are keen put your name down on this thread and let's get a massive list of Australias rippas up on here...
Thank you,
Mappy
fuck. wish i could get there mappy. props to u for this awsome thread. everyone within 1000 kms get there! poor lad! brings a tear to my eye. :(
As I said on ya FB status, I'll be bringing a car load of lads down at the least.
This is such a sad story, there's more to it than what Mappy has and can tell you but if you ever think about doing a good thing make this the one, be at the Toowoomba Skate Park midday Sunday Nov-13, show a fallen Aussie skater you care...

Fuck that's gnarly as. If it was easier for me to get to qld I'd show up for sure, not that I can really shred.
Re: the stuff in the link that pain posted - always stick up for ya mates! Make sure that they know that no matter how many gronks there are in the world (and there are a heap, unfortunately) that they've still got a crew who's down for em. Makes you really think about what's so important about having a tight nit crew. It's real easy to feel alone when you're pretty young..
I really hope this dude uses all his strength to get as far back to normal life as he can. I'm gripping for ya dude!
man that link posted above is so bloody horrible, miracle's do happen, i hope he improves, best of luck to him and his family.
