Sacred Wednesday afternoon at Praça XV, the ultimate skateboarding temple in Rio de Janeiro. Scorching sun: 38 degrees on the thermometer, but it felt like 45. Just another day for those who live the carioca summer. In the backpack, only the essentials: the ACTIONZINHA, 2 liters of water to face the heat, and the drive for the 500 miles to the best skateboarding spot in the world.

SAGRADA tarde de quarta-feira na Praça XV, o templo máximo do skate no RJ. Sol de rachar: 38 graus marcando, mas a sensação batendo fácil nos 45. Coisa de praxe pra quem vive o verão carioca. Na mochila, o essencial: a ACTIONZINHA, 2 litros de água pra encarar o calor e aquele gás pras 500 miles até o melhor lugar de Skateboard do mundo.

When I arrived, the scene was on fire. Skateboards everywhere, each trick carrying a story, a unique vibe. Thank God, so much skateboarding in this place!

Cheguei e, como sempre, a cena tava fervendo. Skate pra tudo que é lado, cada manobra carregando uma história, uma vibe única. Graças a Deus, muito Skateboard nesse lugar!

In the middle of the session, talent was everywhere. I had the honor of filming André Marques with his insane technique, Marcos Vinicius showcasing style and precision, Mauricio Nava delivering creative and consistent lines, and the great Ismael Leite, who always impresses with his flow and control. Each of them left their mark on this epic afternoon.

No meio do rolê, não faltou talento. Tive a honra de registrar André Marques com sua técnica absurda, Marcos Vinicius mostrando estilo e precisão, Mauricio Nava trazendo linhas criativas e consistentes, e o grande Ismael Leite, que sempre impressiona com sua fluidez e controle. Cada um deles deixou sua marca nessa tarde épica.

This is what makes Praça XV special: the heat, the energy, and the skaters who turn the pavement into art.

É isso que faz a Praça XV ser especial: o calor, a energia e os skatistas que transformam o asfalto em arte.

!I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I enjoyed filming them, and that you share the links with other skate lovers!

"SÓ VAMU!!!"
