Snowboard Pioneers of Bolivia
Back in April 2015 I was in La Paz, Bolivia and ended up meeting an awesome group of people. They are the snowboarding pioneers of Bolivia. The group is called Addiction Extreme Bolivia, and they are the first people in Bolivia to organize and teach snowboarding.
We drove a little over 2-hours from La Paz (the capital) to a mountain called Charquini - 5200meters above sea level. Hiked up and had a stellar day on the slopes. No chair lifts here!
Bolivia's import taxes on sporting goods are more than 50%! Imagine having to buy gear at double the normal cost!?
This group has a ton of heart and really do it for the love of the sport and teaching others. I want to drum up some donations, so if you have any gear sitting around that you could spare; boards, bindings, boots - we would love to help get it to these guys so they can continue to spread the love of snowboarding in Bolivia.
If you have any gear you can spare please contact info@hippievanman.com . We will take care of the logistics of getting it there. Thanks and as always please share this video if you have enjoyed.

Men threaten us, confides Marlene. But what are we going to do? Work is work. For these women, shoeshining is their only hope of earning enough to survive. I do it to pay for my children's study, explains Ines, another shoeshiner who has lived on the streets since she was twelve. With no help in sight, the lives of these unfortunate souls quickly spiral out of control. Unable to support her makeshift family, Marlene turns to drink. It is not long before a new generation of children are forced to eke out a living by begging and shining shoes - the latest victims of an endless cycle of poverty and social abandonment.

Bolivia’s female fighters are not to be messed with. Before each match, the fighting cholitas of El Alto put on brightly-coloured skirts, elaborate make up and the traditional indigenous bowler hat. Then they climb into the ring and throw each other over the shoulder in a semi-staged fight between good and evil, in front of roaring audiences.

BOLIVIA : DOGS TO JOIN BOLIVIAN POLICE FIGHT AGAINST DRUGS
Spanish/Nat
Bolivian anti-narcotics police are training dogs to help them in their war against drugs.
The move has come after a series of successful crack downs in the country which have led to the fall of one of Bolivia's largest drug gangs.
Dogs are joining the Bolivian police in the fight against drugs.
The Bolivian anti-narcotics force are training dogs to help them search for illegal shipments in airports and train stations.
The dogs are trained to assimilate scents with objects which are common to their every day lives.
SOUNDBITE: (In Spanish)
This is a towel used for dog training. It is molded to resemble a bone. Then a small sack with drugs is attached. Inside the sack are drugs so the dog can assimilate the scent of either cocaine, marijuana, hashish - depending on the scent one wants to train them for. These are the tools used for the job.

Play becomes work as the dogs are taught the game of sniffing out drugs.
The animals are not addicted to the drugs. Instead, they associate the scent of particular drugs with playtime.
SOUNDBITE: (In Spanish)
The method employed is a procedure taught through play. The dog learns the game, the scent of the drug, and simultaneous commands from his guide.

Recent government efforts to crack down drug traffickers have been successful.
Following the seizure of a Bolivian airliner carrying over four tons of cocaine and arresting at least 20 people last Friday, the government claimed to have disbanded one of its biggest drug gangs- the La Paz cartel.
The government is currently investigating corruption in the anti-drug force following the arrest of several anti-drug officials during last week's operation.
The Bolivian government says both agents from the F-E-L-C-N, as well as national customs, have been detained and interrogated.
In the meantime police hope the introduction of their new four-legged partners will prove successful in their daily battle against drugs.

Malagasy prisoners starving to death
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Tuesday expressed dissatisfaction about Madagascar's prison conditions.
The organisation says almost one in every two prisoners in the country suffers from moderate or severe malnutrition and has treated over 4000 prisoners this year.
Chronic malnutrition affects as much as two-thirds of inmates in some prisons and is the most common cause of deaths amid overcrowding and poor funding.
Madagascar's economy plummeted in the aftermath of the…

This EXTREME 'bike-trail' has to be the worlds SCARIEST!
I spend a lot of time in the mountains around here on my Honda Baja bike, and the tracks I use are nothing compared to this.
If I were to tackle something this extreme, I'd do a complete 'walk-through' recce first.
I've been caught out a few times by ending up with no way forward, and little chance of being able to turn around.
You'll find yourself leaning left while you watch, and get 3 Adams a More..pples!
Enjoy...
I don't know if this is a repost (no doubt someone will point out if it is), but is worth watching again if it is (6m:26s long)!
