The homie Fred stopped by, and he took us for a ride over to Praca XV. "Plaza 15" is the central meeting spot for skateboarding in rio. its a public space with the smoothest ground ive ever skated. the marble ground is probably so old. Probably what Bracelona feels like to skate. It's right in Don Pedro's backyard. Don pedro was the founder and first ruler of the empire of brazil.
Fred has a little surf car that he hooked up with nouns. he drives around without seatbelts and advises me on the kind of beer to drink while riding in the passenger seat of his car, which is legal in brazil. actually one of the seatbelts worked in the car, i just had to attach my seatbelt to his fastener and it worked! lets roll
We hopped out of Freds whip and i got to feast my eyes on a skatespot i have seen so much on skatehive.
The spot looks really cool at night. A lot of the plazas in rio are well-lit at night where it lights up the canopies of the trees and makes them look welcome instead of sketchy.
theres a giant skateboard sculpture thing. i dont know the story behind it, but i think it has to do with this spot becoming kind of a trophy for the legalization of skateboarding in rio. the story i was told, is that there was a very famous movie star in brazil, and her son got killed longboarding, he was hit by a car, and that kind of sparked a movement to legalize and respect skating in rio.
Behind the plaza, like 200 yards away, is a tiny skateshop. i didn't go inside to check it out but thats where this mini ramp is.
TaboI met @gued.zzz which was so sick. he rips! after this blunt training session he did blunt kickflip to fakie So good. I also met this dude from germany named who is super good. they have been street skating with a VX and i want to go out with them one of these days. Met @bebeldachatuba too. he shreds.
watch the end of the video for a kickflip crook on the coffin.

That is cool they literally have a statue of a skateboard at the plaza; crazy! Can you kickflip over it!? Its cool because you can't really determine how big it is in the photo.
dude yeah its smaller than it looks. i wonder if i could ollie over it. you can kind of skate it like a mini ramp but the nose and tail of it are like a cheap metal that bends when and its super slippery for whatever reason and i avoided skating it because a sketchy homeless man laughed at me when i was skating it like a mini ramp and made me feel like a clown for doing so lol
lol; ah man if I were homeless I'd by sleeping on that thing like a little bed, 😂
and I'd be like "who's the clown now, homeless guy without a bed?"
That kicker at the end of the post is going to be ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ 🆙
dude yeah he added a platform thing after the kicker so its like a euro gap i guess he is going to add a rail there is a contest i guess. i should probably enter it lol
but yeah dude you are gonna be able to BOOOST an ollie off that thing im kinda stoked for it
