TWS Eric Stricker纪念奖是为了纪念那些为评介自己对滑板的热爱，为滑板事业做出积极杰出贡献的人，今年的Eric Stricker纪念奖就颁发给了为战乱之中儿童提供庇护的Skateistan和它的创立者Oliver Percovich，为他的崇高举动致敬！
The Eric Stricker Memorial Award, in memory of TWS editor Eric Stricker, sets out to honor individuals in the skateboarding industry that have shown a continued dedication to the positive growth, longevity, and love of skateboarding. This year’s Eric Stricker Memorial Award deservedly goes to the incredible people at Skateistan who have spent the past eight years using skateboarding as a tool of empowerment for youths in Afghanistan, Cambodia, and Mazar-e-Sharif. Founded by Oliver Percovich in 2007 and with their first facility opened in ‘09 in Kabul, the non-profit, non-governmental organization works with children from a range of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds in some of the most war-torn and impoverished countries on the planet to build trust, offer educational opportunities, and bring hope to youths who’s lives and living conditions might otherwise seem exceedingly difficult from our perspective of first world comforts.
Skateistan拯救了无数战乱之中可能丢掉性命的孩子，为他们提供教育机会，让他们杰出到滑板，使得他们脱离战乱的苦恼，改变了当地孩子们对于教育、为人方面的认知，这就是今年Eric Stricker纪念奖颁发给Skateistan的原因。
