    Ademar “Luquinhas” Lucas

    Luquinhas is an extremely gifted person and very humble at the same time, which can be a rare thing. I’ve never heard anyone say a bad thing about him, and if you get to meet him you’ll know doubt understand why.

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
