An innovator of modern vert skating. The first person to do the loop switch.
Moved from Sau Paulo, Brazil, to the US in the early 90s. He swiftly gained great respect from the skateboarding world. At his first pro contest in the US he left his peers awe struck with his groundbreaking switch stance trickery; an area of vert skating that, at the time, had not been explored.
To this day he is still an innovator. He is currently in the process if building the worlds first permanant big air ramp.

Does anyone remember the X-Games best trick some years back, Bob Burnquist switch nosegrind flip out on the sub-rail. Nuff said.
A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.
Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.
In a powercouple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.
I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
