Skate Carioca Porra 1

This promo is my favourite project that I’ve worked on so far. In 2007 spent 2 months in Rio de Janeiro working/eating rice and beans with the design gurus at Cartel Design. This Avuatauba Skateboards promo turned out exactly how I imagined it. It got played in Brasil  on ESPN, got premiered at a crazy launch party in Lapa, and it’s featured on many websites including Transworld Skateboarding.

I’ve got so many outtakes kicking it on a harddrive somewhere including clips of the following: Solvent sniffing mendigos, angry corrupt military police, the elusive “Praca XV” dancer, and a ton of skatboard shit of course. Unfortunately, I’m in Australia and the tape is heavily guarded at a compound somewhere in Canada. By that I mean it’s in a shoe box at my Mom’s house, so it’s going to take me a minute to get those clips up…..Until then, here’s the first  Avuatauba Skateboards promo! #4 is in production right now, so I’ll link that ish as soon as it’s out.
