What was the first trick you landed? How did it make you feel?
The first trick I did was the ollie, I felt like the happiest kid in the world.
Which skateboarding spot do you like the most?
The spot I enjoyed riding the most is Quadrespra, a small square full of obstacles made by local skateboarders in São.
Ever since I was a kid I had wanted to ride that spot, it was like a dream come true.
What’s your go-to trick when you just want to have fun?
Bs Smith Grind, I've been doing it since I was a kid and it's also my favorite everyday trick.
If you could skate anywhere in the world, where would it be?
It would definitely be Macba.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever done an Ollie over?
It was over a person. When that person saw me, he lied down on the street and told me to jump, and he come out all happy.
What was the silliest time you fell off your skateboard?
I ran to throw the skateboard on the ground to pick up more speed, and I ended up stepping off the skateboard.
Have you ever been kicked out of a spot? And what happened?
I've been kicked out several times, but once my friends and I went into a community to skate on a perfect railing. Then all the people in the community started yelling and cursing at us. They didn't stop until the police arrived.
