This year I came back to my hometown, Petrópolis, after nearly 5 years living in Rio.
Being back here was a mix of feelings, and one of them was my passion for skateboarding, of course. However, we do not have a proper skatepark yet.
The most recent one, which is pretty ok for a city that has never had a proper space for skating, is far from the center of the city and only works from 9 to 18, from Wednesday to Sunday. And what about the workers or even children who do not have money or allowance of the parents to take an hour bus?
Because of that, I and some friends united to form #skatepetropolis. Our first action was to reform and paint the local spot in the center of the city, which isn't good yet but it got a lot better already.
This edit is from 3 sessions I had in the last one and a half month to incentivate the young generation and also to auto-promotion hehehe
Hope you enjoy it!
Soon I'll edit the reforms and paintings for you guys to check it out!
Skate for fun!
