Quotes
Sandro Dias
Brazilian skateboarding legend
“We know there are many factors that make up this scenario: first, the ramp itself, which had never existed before, with a mix of a lot of speed, a lot of G-force, weather conditions - it was very windy up there. I think I’ve gone high enough already, I’m satisfied, completely satisfied, and I believe this proves that we can push ourselves further”

“The most important message I want to share is never give up on your dreams. This is a dream of more than 13 years that we’ve just achieved now, pushing the limits”
