mera-bonk Ionir Mera, nose bonking at a classic Rio de Janeiro spot close to Flamengo Beach. Background props go to Luquinhas, Enxacueca and photographer Dhani Borges. I’m pretty sure this photo was published in 100% Skate Mag, but I’ll be able to confirm that with Dhani once I finally get a hold of him for his interview. He’s more elusive than a Russian Boneless…
Leo Lopes XV Ollies Leo Lopes snaps 2 quick ollies at Praça XV in Rio de Janeiro and thoroughly impresses a solvent sniffing local. Don’t try this at home, kids… Leo was a pro skater for ages, now he’s getting a lot of recognition creating custom furniture out of skateboards. You can contact him at leocarecaskt@gmail.com for more information about his art.
jonatas This is Jonatas doing 2 kinds of crazy shit, sort of a yin and yang effect if you please. Good versus Bad, Boa versus Mau, whatever language you put it, it’s pretty hefty on the gnar-gnar sauce. Filmed in Rio de Janeiro, specifically a spot called “Galpao” in Nova Iguacu.
Bruno Lopes @ Monumento Bruninho Lopes goes switch at Monumento, centro Rio de Janeiro. He can do switch tre shuvits too. I’ll save that for the next clip though.
rafael-gomes-bowl While filming for the first Avuatauba video in Rio de Janeiro, I ended up with a ton of footage that I’ve been meaning to put up. Here’s Brazilian pro Rafael Gomes warming up at the bowl right beside the classic street spot, Praca de O.
It’s pronounced Ko-Me-Ha-Too. In honour of Come Rato’s big interview in Concrete Wave, here’s some throwback footage all the way from January 2002. I think this was actually the first time I met the dude, and also the same time Christian Hosoi was in jail for dealing meth. Ooops! Fact of the day: Come Rato means “Eat Rat” in Portuguese. Watch or download the good quality version here: Come-Rato-rio-sul-2002 If you like to watch shitty quality versions, the youtube is [...]
Props to my friend Come Rato on his latest interview in Concrete Wave. The man is a living legend and is possibly the most stylish guy on the planet. KOE IRMAO, SINIIIIIISTRO.
Coming out soon! Brought to you by the heads at Avuatauba Skateboards, representing the underground of Rio de Janeiro. The video has full parts with Ademar Lucas, Zero Batista, Bruninho Lopes, Rodgrigo Picole and a special section with the Huflez Crew. I’ll post a proper link to the video once it’s up.
I met Chris (along with party guy/WCS Judge/comp MC/dagger OG Dave Duncan) at the classic Rio Sul bowl in 2002. I lived right around the corner, so I’d seen tons of people skate there before, but no one touched Senn. He skates a 10 foot pool like it’s a little mini ramp. I’ve never seen anyone get so many lines, and keep so much speed at the same time. Senn is definitely one of those guys that you need to [...]
