Arthur Souza Fiyah Cracker Fiend Canvas Skateboards boss Arthur Sousa in uptown Waterloo, at the yet to be nicknamed plaza.

Joshi Cowan Uptown Waterloo Joshi Cowan in Uptown Waterloo at the new plaza. So far the police and security guards don’t mind if you skate here…cross your fingers . It’s lit, and on friday nights you can hear a cover band across the street doing Michael Jackson covers. Amazing
Located in the Zona Sul of Rio de Janiero, this gap sees very few visitors due to the chunky nature of the landing….and the takeoff….actually, pretty much everything about this gap is complete shite.
