Another year, another international adventure: with beautiful scenery, sunny skies, and often unbearably hot weather, Portugal set the perfect scene for our newest team project. Led in Lisbon by Martim & Rodrigo Braz-Teixeira, over the hills of Miraflores, welcomed in Sines by Ricardo Lino & family to explore Santo André, Santiago do Cacém and other hidden gems. Surrounded by the sounds of the local language, like a sweet bounce of sonorities all mixed up with the gibberish spoken among our international guests. Fed with cheap food from Lidl and amazing, tasty treats devoured at the terraces of cafés.
Because of course, it was always coffee time. Views of the intense blue of the sky, the deep blue of the Ocean, steep drop-ins onto sandy beaches, and quick dives in the water to refresh. Sights of lovely paintings, colorful walls everywhere, art and poetry infused into our daily routines. Visions of long hair and sweaty landings, stinky liners drying in the hot sun, lazy naps in the shade. Life on the streets.
Because of course, there was no better place for us to go. So, when it came down to the skating itself… You be the judge of how much insane stuff happened in just under two weeks of time, in the wonderful land of Purtugalya!

Athlete: Demetrios George. Shot by Rachard Johnson. “Lots of ups and downs for Demetrios George. Finally in a state of focus not many achieve easily. Many say he is too old for hammers ; he says you’re not in your right mindset to even think about attempting these stunts… It’s nothing new to him, we’ve been doing things like this since kids, so in reality we already know wht it takes to hammer out these kind of tricks. Demetrios is a one of a kind athlete and one of my very best friends and as we begun to clip up for his VOD Life got in the way, again. This is the mindset of Demetrios George and every one of our clips have a very deep meaning… This is just the beginning so stay tuned”.
