Africa Riding: Karim

Africa Riding: Karim

Rwanda's capital, Kigali, is not a hotspot for roller skaters—at least not yet. There are no halfpipes and no graffiti artists here, and because the sport is still completely unknown, roller skater Abdul Karim Habyarimana is also a very rare sight, especially during his acrobatic skates when he casually overtakes cars on the open road. Karim lives on eight wheels, an approach to life that he wants to bring to the next generation of skaters.
