TRISTAN 

CARDILLO 

Iterview with tristan plus a few pics about winning open and juniors (Double page) What he 

intends to do in the future, how he has trained. when did he start. 

All year longboard interview : 

I have start longboarding at 13 year old. And so it was in 2013 the day after my birthady ( 28.03.2000). Because I 

was waiting money for buy my first board. 

I don’t really know, maybe it was snowboard. But I start because friends started too. 

Maybe all the riders, every person have something to bring at this sport. But now I look up the person maybe, 

who thing like athlete ( training, take the sport seriously), but have the mind like the old skaters or surffers too. 

So I thing now to be a good rider you need to thing like an athlet, train, eat healthy, try to do the best, …. But you 

need to have the mind like the old skater, You need to know why you do this sport, and why it’s your passion. 

This will push you at the top 

My mom will said at university, ahaha and I too but I want to travel a lot, to be years in the top of longboard ( and 

to win the title of downhill longboarding) . So I will be at university in sport for training, and I will be at all the 

races I can. 

Yes for sure, they support me. Not only with money but they help me a lot to know wath the best thing in life. 

Exemple : Sometime I want to skate,… but they are here for tell me that to live like a proskater it’s no impossible 

but difficult, so university and school need to be your first priority. And I thing one day I will be happy to have 

listen them. 

I think events it’s super good now, I hope one day this sport will be at olympics and I will be here for skating 

ahahah. But maybe a better IDF systeme, because If you want to be 1 world ranking you need to find so much 

money for doing all the world tour and when you study it’s impossible to find money easy and travel easy. But 

I’m happy that a lot of associations do events and try to bring our sport more serious. Thanks 

Yeah sport, I run a lot and do sport in general, I really like do sport all the time. It’s maybe the best think in the life 

with longboarding. 

Fibretec board, sportmania.ch my local shop, and rad wheels, but in 2018 Maybe some news sponsors I need to 

check deals 

regular 

Yes with entrecouz it’s like the crew from the french and swiss rider who speak french. But it’s not only a crew, 

it’s my second family !! 

Rad wheels influence 77a, voxter trucks 45/30, and fibretec ar 

I need to test a lot new trucks, wheels, but I think I will stay in the fibretec team because the boys are the family 

too and I really like to support local brand and the mind of the team !!! 

all the time when I ‘m on my longboard so every day but the last eurotour (2017) was maybe the best moment in 

my life. And last year at lilyhammer first Idf race, my parents where here to support me and the second place in 

junior give me the motivation to do more training. 

I don’t really know because longboarding can’t be horrible. When I’m on a longboard I can just enjoy and go fast. 

Aahah One of the best emotion I never feel, like to race in italy was amazing it’s like my second nationality and to 

race until the final was creasy my parents was here until the semi final, so it was amazing to phone them after the 

win. but verdicchio it’s not kozakov so feeling can be better and bigger ahah, and I want to live this feeling to win 

a kozakov and a world ranking and olympics I hope one day ahaha. 

Yeah for sure, riptide footstop 

Every time I can. But so 

1hour fitness every day 

every time I have time to longboard I go so 1 hour every day too 

a lot of basketball (2hour for week), vollyball ( 6 hour for week), running (2 or 3hour for week), swimming ( 1 

hour for week) 

trying to eat healthy and trying to do yoga or thing can bring be more focus in a race 

I think it’s gonna be bigger, like more race ( in Asia, I think), and I hope they will be more riders for racing in the 

IDF tour.

TUTORIAL 

To begin with i think every advanced longboarder 

should grab a newbie and teach them everything they 

know. Spend the time with them to help them improve 

and become confident. 

Safety Gear 

Basic frst aid 

This can be a rewarding relationship as it is very difficult to film 

yourself and if everyone does it in two to three years the sport 

will double. 

This article is not to tell you how to do every specific skill in 

longboarding but give you a few points to remember when 

beginning the style of downhill. I don’t think i need to say it but i 

will anyway, a helmet greatly increases your survival rate ;) One 

of the first things that i would like to speak about is leaning on 

the front i think the most important thing to have in your mind 

in almost every situation is to lean on the front, whether coming 

out of tuck to start air braking, going into a heelside, a toeside 

or sliding it is always important to keep your weight forwards as 

this is going to keep you stable and in control. 

The second important thing to remember is to look where 

you are going. Where you are looking is where you are going 

to go, if you look outside the corner you will end there, always 

look inside. The time when you are going to forget this is after 

you bail in a corner and have a scary moment with a rock or 

barrier it will unsettle you and you will want to look at the scary 

thing each run this is no good. Do not stare down your enemy 

or you are going to fight with them repeatedly, you do not win 

when fighting with barriers, cliffs and rocks; you only live to fight 

another day or loose. Keep your eyes on the line! 

Now we have the line, there are many of them. You need to 

understand what is possible and what is really not. Chances 

are if you have a bad bail it is because you took a crazy line, 

flew into the corner superfast and started braking late. You will 

last a lot longer if you brake early and grip up early in fact you 

may just find you enter the next straight faster than your friends 

but braking too late is unforgiving and more likely that you are 

not entering the next straight until you find your board, pucks 

maybe a shoe and whatever else you lost in the bail. It’s also a 

good idea to pay attention to other people’s lines as they cross 

very often, if you go inside it is likely you will exit outside and if 

someone else takes the outside it is much easier for them to 

end inside. Understanding lines is going to help you keep it tight 

and hit gnarly draft trains with your friends. 

Skate with your amigos as much as you can learning what 

lines they take and what to expect from other riders is going to 

keep you sessioning those hills for longer. 

Now my final point is about your local hills even if you may 

be bored of them. Spending time perfecting your techniques 

is key to feeling confident when bombing intense hills. Corner 

sessions are more valuable than you think, send it till you can 

skate it blind folded as all of the skill and confidence you learn 

here is going with you to those monster hills.

W 

hat is the safest place to skate? Apart from having a person foot braking one meter in front of you, skating at events probably your best bet. i fi you need to skate safe on open roads? 

A brain to start with, because stupid decisions equal stupid mistakes. Ability is deffinately on the list, if you dont know what you are doing don’t play with the fire go and learn how 

to control your speed in lane and live to skate another day.

few friends who loved to bring a 

Downhill skating competition to Belgium has 

been around for a few years. The first event was immediately 

proclaimed as the Belgian Championship and received a bunch of good 

credit and reviews from the contestants. This brought a thrill in longboarding 

Belgium. The next edition grew much larger than expected. 

After the first year organizing Eat Concrete, we never could have guessed what 

would happen in the next edition. We were better prepared and had some experience 

in guiding the event. When registrations opened we were baffled from the 

ticket sale and needed to step up all and every aspect of the event. 

by a professional 

catering 

team and a spectacular 

decorative party were the 

setting for the new start of EC2K17. 

2017 was the call for the organisation to get real serious. They gathered 

all of the resources and started planning, contemplating, discussions and so 

on. “If I look backat the last few years, really crazy how life works sometimes. 

I have seen so many developments, have so many good memories and got in 

contact with a lot of passionate people” -Gykiere Daan- 

For now Eat Concrete puts all their attention towards future projects. There will 

be a 2018 edition for the Belgian Championship. Furthermore they are checking 

opportunities for longboarding with a new partner in crime.

From there on, a lot of stuff happened, beer, food, tuck, parties, adrenaline, skating. 

It was after the third sold-out edition the ambition of the crew was pointed 

outwards Belgium. There was no intention never to us this road again. It already 

became a classic over the years. Sadly enough an announcement had to be made 

concerning the 2016 edition. We spent a lot of our time scouting roads in and 

around Belgium. We found several potentially crazy spots. But the problem 

always was permissions from the 

authorities. After many attempts in 2016 we had to take a break from all the 

lobbying, there was no time to get it all done.”- Jasper Dhaene - 

That year, Eat Concrete still fully supported other events and organisations like 

the boardercross from One Movement and an exhibition from Chalk Custom 

Board Project. The crew was already entangled. It was noticeable there is more 

to Eat Concrete than just a motivated crew. They picked up were they left in an 

easy-to- go process. It was clear a lot of great people form the backbone of the 

organisation. Starting from 2017 the old and a few new partnerships got set up. A

MANNERS 

OF THE SPOT 

GOING TO OTHER PEOPLES SPOTS AND HOW TO RE- 

SPECT THEM, GOING TO OTHER PEOPLES SPOTS AND 

HOW TO RESPECT THEM 

This is about respect, the family and the 

longevity of the sport we all love. So I 

Begin this by asking a question. Have 

you ever travelled to a spot or event 

road with your friends knowing completely that 

events happen or other locals skate there? 

Now I would like to ask if you thought about 

contacting the locals or event organiser? 

As longboarding grows so do the problems we 

face. In this generation many roads have been 

found many gone to disrepair and much more 

have been repaved allowing us beautiful descents 

to shred. As we find new roads we also 

find new riders. Many of these riders do not understand 

the careful balance that must be maintained 

with the authorities and residents of the 

spots you skate, I talk from experience. 

It is becoming more noticeable the damage that 

is being done to the sport every time someone 

hits a car, loses a life, argues with a resident, 

scares an old person or has a close call with any 

other road user and this is only the basics. It is 

not an easy battle fighting for recognition and 

safe places to skate downhill and the few people 

that are achieving this are the event organisers 

big or small they all offer you opportunity 

to skate without all the hazardous variables that 

make an already dangerous activity extreme. 

Take a minute to think about that fact. 

So even with all that the events do for you there 

is still the urge skate as often as possible and for 

most this is open road. You probably have a local 

hill that you have learnt everything you know 

skating and practicing there. I Expect you know 

this hill like your own skin, have met some of 

the residents and had a couple of situations with 

local authorities that you have dealt with respectfully 

and shown that you are skating safely with 

spotters, radios, staying in lane or just being able 

to see the bottom. 

Okay so now we understand all the good things 

everyone is doing to preserve the image of longboarding, 

I would like to say five words in reply 

to the %*!? people are doing. 

Have Respect, Don’t Blow Spots. 

Increasingly skaters are goin g to event roads 

and to other people’s local spots that they have 

seen in videos or heard about from friends. Unfortunately 

problems do happen. I do not say 

this to say not go to these spots but in the hope 

that you will spend a little time to find out if it 

is someone’s local hill or an event road and contact 

them! Organise to go there on a day they 

can skate with you or if they cannot at least get 

advice regarding access and skating safely. This 

could be you getting harassed at your local spot 

because you have no idea somebody else had 

problems and now the authorities deem it unsafe 

and do everything in their power to stop you 

skating there. This also affects events as people 

have been found recklessly skating event roads, 

the consequences then reach beyond the spot and 

begin to affect people’s work and ability to organise 

those safe places that they provide for you 

to skate at the roads limit without the worry of 

cars and cyclists. What the event organisers are 

doing is incredible and not easy, I think they deserve 

respect. So make the call, send a message 

to get in contact with the locals whether crew 

or organiser I guarantee you will have a better 

time than if you didn’t, and I am sure they all 

skate too.

Top 5 longboard meccas Europe 

TRANSYLVANIA DOWNHILL HOME OF LEGENDS 

Maybe you won’t find a vampire but what you do find will thrill you just as much. 

This event hosted in the breathtaking Transalpina alps is an experience you do not 

want to miss, with gondolas and 35% corners you will not be thinking about bringing 

a stake and silver cross. 

Transylvania downhill is quickly making its mark as an iconic and uniquely different 

event offering riders the full package of what events could be. Accommodated in 

a ski resort, supplied with a thumping sound system and DJs flown in from around 

the world, riders and spectators are provided a VIP experience that compliments 

the adrenaline inducing road all 5 km of it! 

I can guarantee you will leave this place with stories to tell your friends whether you 

make friends with a bear or find a romanian beauty in the party or just session the 

hill I know you will want to share your experiences. 

The hill is diverse no two corners are the same, offering fast straights, sweepers that 

you must decide to grip or scrub and combo sliding hairpins there is no way you are 

getting bored of this hill during the event. It also offers a challenge to those that wish 

to race for if all your skills are on point you have a much better chances. So before 

you come make sure you practice everything in your skill bag as you are going to 

need it. The asphalt is amazing it suffers badly in the winter but the organisers and 

their committed workforce do an incredible job of repairing it before the event so 

you do not need to remember the holes cracks and ruts that can be a real depressing. 

To top all of this off when you reach the end you do not need to cram into a bus trying 

to make space for your helmet and board and sit uncomfortably in your leathers 

everybody smelling a little funky... no?!? No you cruise with you and your mates 

and jump in a gondola and ride to the top watching all your other mates nailing the 

track enjoying the ride. The gondola changes the way you know events as it allows 

you to skate as many times as you can get up and whenever you want, no waiting for 

busses no waiting for the last rider just runs and runs. 

“ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing 


Not only does the event provide for the riders, it brings summer vibes to a town that 

has been suffering economic distress and only has tourism in the winter making life 

hard for the residents over the time people should be enjoying the summer months. 

Bringing the event is provides new opportunities to the locals and makes a positive 

impact to province and country. I must give credit to the organisers creating this astounding 

event and bringing together the government, residents and businesses to 

create transylvania Downhill as this also paints a more positive look of longboarding 

to the authorities and the people, helping the argument for more supported 

ways to practice the sport. If you are planning an event it is an ideal example to show 

to your Countries officials

In 2016 the event only managed to grab 60 participants but the stories from those 

60 people spread rapidly through the scene creating stoke that nobody expected. By 

2017 the number of participants rose dramatically to around 200 making this an 

exciting event full of many new faces that had all heard stories from the year before. 

I am looking forward to what 2018 brings as these numbers show that maybe they 

need to extend the event to deal with the numbers. If that is not enough people with 

the bug for speed need to check the second track in Devastation Longboard Crews 

selection there is only one thing being said about it and that is 120 Km/h air braking! 

And it is not straight boasting a selection of corners it is been said that it is one 

of the gnarliest hills in Europe possibly the world.

Hi there! Thanks for spreading the stoke with all the media this year, AYL killed it covering this years Euro 

tour. 

I live in Huntington Beach, California (about an hour south of La/Malibu) 

You can usually find me on weekends skating the San Gabriel Mountains (GMR, Spliff Hwy, ect), Malibu, or 

heading out to one of the many local outlaws. 

Honestly I don’t feel much different. I am a bit more motivated in other aspects of life like school, knowing 

with enough dedication I can surprise myself with what I can accomplish. 

I started riding luge about 5 or 6 years ago about a year after I got into DH skating. My current set up of choice 

is a Rogers Bros street luge with 150 mm Liquid trucks, Zealous Bearings, Abec 11 wheels usually HD big zigs 

front an HD centrax rear, and I have been loving the new carbon Predator. 

For me skating means freedom, it’s a way to express myself as well as find that quiet place. I choose downhill 

because I love the rush of going fast and I can’t afford an airplane yet. 

I used to surf a lot but skating kinda took over my life. \ 

To make luge grow world wide, like longboarding, it needs events that reach to all skill levels. loaner luges 

to be ridden at freerides and races gives skaters the chance to try luge and see how much fun it is. The rush of 

going so much faster stokes people out and with new cheaper luges available skaters can access legit set ups 

for the same cost as a skateboard. 

I train pretty much every weekend in the mountains and when theres events coming up I try to get in a exercise 

routine at home. 

I’m usually riding my skateboard but focused a lot more on luge for the 2017 season. 

I think the biggest difference between skating and luge is the acceleration. There’s nothing like dropping into a 

130 kph hill tucking so hard you can’t see the road. 

Im often skating open roads, i believe it to be as safe as the rider makes it. If you ride like any other vehicle 

should; in your lane, stopping at signs, being courteous of drivers wanting to pass, then there should be no 

problems. That is of course if everyone else obeys the rules. 

The support for the 2017 season was incredible, I can’t say thank you enough to everyone that made that possible. 

My sponsors are Rogers Bros Downhill, TerpTek., Zealous Bearings, Abec 11 Wheels, Predator helmets, 

Atopic gloves, and my good friends at Quick Shift motorsports. 

I believe downhill skating would fit great in the olympics. 

It would be watched by millions of people all over the globe. That boost will get more riders and events and 

make downhill sports more accepted. 

Often people that try my luge tell me after they didnt know it would be so much work. It is a killer core workout 

and if you dont read lines well you can easily go off the road. 

Luge takes a lot of stamina, core strength to turn, legs and neck must be held up. Its really a complete body 

workout. 

My worst crash was when I hit a dirtbike head on at 100kph, he was on the road at an outlaw event when he 

shouldnt have been. I broke my elbow and got 13 peices of metal. Eventually took 10 of them back out. 

If you want to get into luge just take off the grip of a lonboard and make a metal pipe handlebar, youll have an 

insane amount of fun and can hit chunder runs you never thought ridable. Get out and practice, you never know 

where it can take you (like 10 countries in 1 year)

Brazil 

is wild, rough, fast and good vibes! 

Before my trip to Brazil I was super stoked. I was 

trying to hit this country for the last past two years 

but unfortunately I wasn’t available to made it. 

Brazilians they really nice, GOOD VIVES all the 

time, they recibe you with open arms. (Mi casa, su 

casa) They help you with the language, deal with 

the food and get the best fruits like aca√≠, Mango 

and others! 

The roads are amazing but they WILD, like the 

people ho drives there. When you get there with a 

rental car is a challenge, somthing like get a semi 

finals with Dalua, Hertler, and Zak! So If you don’t 

try to beat them you gonna get stack in a corner of 

the road. They have signs, lines, and other traffic 

indications, but they don’t care. 

They can ride outside and inside of the lines. 

If you’re faster you’re in, but evend that you gonna 

go battle for made it to the spot. 

Spots are cool they fast, but also ROUGH, most of 

the roads they look good, but they don’t care at all, 

so roads are a bit bumpy, with some cracks, patches. 

Also sometimes you can find small rocks and 

tons of cat eyes, they love em, and the big ones too! 

So get ready is time 

to skate, they always ready for go downhill. Make 

sure to follow them, because they FAST and they 

know the road. 

They super down on skate with you but they battle 

every run, even when they freeriding. 

They train hard and you can see it, they strong. 

They ready to skate down the sun, that country is 

hot, even in winter, and they always good. 

In Belo Horizonte they Also like to skate at night, 

people meets thuesdays late night for skate New 

Lime. 

That spot is crazy, is something like a highway in 

the middle of the city with a full grip track, almost 

100km/h, tons of eye cats on the middle of the 

road, and the best part is when you get down there, 

it ends in a right turn without light, when I said 

without light is 0 light, all dark. The good think is, 

the end is up hill so you don’t need to brake. And 

sure they go don’t there in pack bateling for get the 

first one on get in to the end. 

So if you gonna put your leather at day make sure 

to find some shade and water some water ready. 

APAC WC is intense, pack runs are on point all 

the time, try to lead or leave the pack is hard, they 

warriors, they will batel, and keep pushing until the 

last breath. So if you love DOWNHILLSKATE- 

BOARDING pretty much is one of the best places 

to expend two or three weeks, to get on the same 

line, or at least learn how to ride fast until the last 

corner. 

They really nice like I said before, if you’ve been 

on any race you may know morning some times 

are a bit raft. Every single one they come and they 

ask you: Good morning, All good? (Bos Dias, tudo 

bem? ) 

They worried about if you’re having a good time in 

Brazil. 

Racing is an art, so they take care, they know how 

to battle and push hard. 

The top 10 in quali times ar that race was all Brazilians, 

was funny in some part and disgusting in 

the other. 

After racing they know where get good food, oh 

yes, good food is pretty much all around, queijo, 

aca√≠, fresh meat, rice and beans, coconut water 

and salads. But locals allways know the best places. 

They enjoy the party but they know when is time 

for go sleep, they want to race. 

Racing day is intense, no one is gonna mis nothing, 

don’t let the gate open they gonna go for the pas. 

That’s equal All around the world, but here they 

know how to play, and ready, all of them. 

Set ups in Brazil are on point. Decent leathers, presition 

trucks all around, good board, lids all almost 

for all of em and freshis. 

Hits are intense and they push hard for lead the 

pack. They prove it on this last World Cup 

Locals mineiros from Belo Horizonte got the open 

clas podium, but also they 

got full podium in all the categories 

APAC World Cup overalls.

going back home. So imagine how fun is the jet lag,

gomes lessa 

Where do you live? Where do you usually train? 

I live in Belo Horizonte MG, to me is the best place to skate around 

Brasil and i feel grateful for that, so i have a lot of hills to choose everyday... 

Belo Horizonte means in portuguese beatiful view, we are on the 

mountains... And we have a big crew around... 

How old were you when you skated for the first time? How everything 

starts? 

I started to skate around seven-teen years old ( 11 years ago ), first in 

normal street-skate and after 2-3 years i tried some speed skating, i started 

i belive because my friends where so adicted, so i notice that should be 

good, i never stoped and get adicited too after that... 

Do you remember your first board? Which one was it? 

My real first speed board was a landyachts drop-thru for some days and 

right after i got some evo that i stayd for some time, so i consider evo my 

first school board... Is a very stable and low board, so is good to learn i 

believe.... 

Why did you choose Downhill Longboard? What does it mean for you? 

I dont think i choose downhill, just happen to me and all my crew at the 

time used to skate, so i really like hanging around with the friends and just 

happens you know... Downhill Skate have a very deep meaning for me, 

a lot that i know today i learn from downhill, doing the travels, thinking 

about it, developing and growing... So im very grateful for the sport, for 

the people that support the sport and i want give it back a little bit now... I 

really love the sport and believe i will do a lot for it too... 

When did you start racing? Where? My first race was in almabtrieb 

2010, at that time i had 6 months on the sport and decided to make a trip 

with a friend, we where about 20’s so we made it for fun and to meet the 

idols from the sport... This one is on my memory, i learn a lot in that trip... 

Was 4 brasilians, me, Hugo Haddad from my hometown, Danky Dean 

and Douglas Dalua... We all in first outside trip to skate, with exception 

of Dalua, so we went super stoked, no one speack english or german, so 

imaging that, all we could do was have fun... The race went crazy we 

where going good but at the quarter-finals i crash following Kevin Reimer 

and after that we spend some time in Europe, living some of that different 

culture... 

I remember the feeling of imaging i was on the Harry Potter movies, 

the culture, the people, everything is so different than Brasil... So this 

is one of the reason i like to travel to skate, is always a new world to 

me... 

Do you practise any other sport? 

I pratice every sport that i can, i used to do motocross, swim professionaly 

all my life, BMX, i like to be active... But this days i pratice yoga and 

skateboard in general... I try too to save my boddy a little bit too, one of 

DOWNHILL NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE ALL YEAR LONGBOARD 

TEAM AND RIDERS THAT THINK MORE THAN ABOUT JUST RIDE, 

WE NEED TO GIVE IT BACK FOR THE SPORT... IN WHATEVER WAY 

ANYONE CAN DO IT...TEACHING HERE, POSTING THERE, SUP- 

PORTING, SHREDING.... 

my goals is beeing skating until 80 years old hehe... 

How do you see the sport in 5 years? 

I see the sport going big and bigger from here to some time ahead, people 

with that low time in industry that we are passing right now, is opening 

the eyes to make some for it, so this makes me feels good.... I dont really 

now how it gonna be in future, but i will work hard for it... 

What do you think will help the longboard sport to grow? 

I think like every big sport, we need time, time to mature, time do develep, 

time to let the things happen, i dont think downhill is a wrong way, just 

people want to see it exploding to fast... But for sure, downhill need more 

people like all year longboard team and riders that think more than about 

just ride, we need to give it back for the sport... In whatever way anyone 

can do it...Teaching here, posting there, supporting, shreding.... 

How often do you train?Do you train by yourself or you have a group 

to train? 

Before a season i train kinda everyday or 5 times a week, i make a plan 

everytime i decide to do a hole season... But normally, i skate everyday 

too rsss but bowlride, some parks im really adicted in sports... If i dont 

skate i need to strech my self or do something.... I always skate with 

friends... We have a big crew that make this easier...the reason that i wake 

up super early everyday is to have time to skate and than work... 

What do you think about skate in open roads? 

Skate in open road is dangerous for sure, i hit a motorcicle one time... I 

was a young gun at the time and no concious about the real consequences 

of that, fearless for sure.... I was awere of the danger to skate in open road 

but i always escaped everytime i got surprised, so i was confidence that i 

could scape in any case... After i hit the motorcilce i really change and i 

think this is the reason that im here riding today, because if is no one on 

the corners in open road i go 80% or maybe 70% from what i can do now, 

always on super inside line, is this is even harder, so is a train too... I feel 

afraid to ride some open roads and i dont feel good like in the past.... You 

know, drunk riders or just crazy ones, they can be anywhere... A good 

thing to do, is send a car flashing the light right before you go, so the 

drivers will be awere, thinking there is animals or some coops ahead... Because 

that i think my city is a very good one, because we can train in some 

roads there is almost no cars, than we can go fast... And for sure travel to 

races is something that helps with that too, cause the track is protected 

and closed, i feel a different freedom riding in that conditions... I love it.. 

Which victory was the most important for you? Why? 

The most important victory to me, was the APAC WORLD CUP 2017 

in my home town and home hill , was the first world cup riding my new 

wheels Cuei Wheels Killers too and i never won a world cup in my 

hometown before, even getting in all the finals in the past, so i really 

want to give back for my local people that glory, happiness and the 

best’s in the world was here... I really prove that day that we could do 

it... I feel emotional to remeber that... 

Who has always been supporting you? 

My family, my friends and two persons that really pushed me foward, 

sometimes even more than me is my girl Vittoria and my Mon, this two 

ones belived me all the time... Im super greatfull for that... 

Would you like Downhill Longboard to be in the Olympics? Will you 

race? 

I would like it for sure, i dont know if is the case for our sport, but no 

doubts i would race... 

How do you think will affect the sport to be in Olympics? 

I think this will shred our passion in a way that never happens before 

with the eyes that the olimpics sports have it... So would bring more and 

more athletes, support for sure and with the midia tecnology that they 

have our sport would go big.... grow a lot for sure... 

History since you start with longboarding until now. 

So many ones... 

How was your family involved in your longboard passion? 

My family always support what i do and with the time passing they start 

to belive and believe more and more... 

How did you find your first sponsor? 

My first sponsor, was Aera Trucks... I made a video, very simple one and 

Dalua sent for Kevin Reimer, they both like it and i grab that opportunity, 

very greatfull for this guys... They help me all the way too... Today 

my brand Cuei Wheels and Hondar Longboards are my firsts sponsors... 

When was your worst crash? What happen? 

I never broke any bone riding downhill, but two crashed that i remember 

was that one that i hit a motorcicle, pushing the limits, was a very strong 

hit and i was on the edge of my line and the guy too so was strong.... I 

stayd some time without walking... And one in my second race in 2010 

riding in the rain with no rain wheels, i pop out my shoulder, tore some 

ligments and nervous in the same shoulder, so even today my shoulder is 

not 100%, but feels good, this teach me that im not a superman and that 

the body is not made from iron... 

Any advice to any rider who would like to be professional longboard 

skater?? Create your own value, i think my sucess with sponsors and in 

my carrer until now is that i stayad true and honest with all of than, to be 

professional you need to conect with professional riders, you learn a lot 

of short-cuts and easy ways... im here to help anybody that need... But 

believe me, you need to do some sacrifices too, nothing came from the 

sky...

What do you think of being the World Champion? 

What setup have you used? To me this journey 

until being World Champion has teach me a lot, 

much more than i expected, but i always think is 

not about what you achieve and is about what you 

do with what you achieve, so to me is really just the 

begining... I feel great for sure, is a very hard goal 

to achieve with many good riders around... And i 

enjoy every single day preparing and going on that, 

so its kinda a magic times in my life... I made it... 

We have seen in the eurotour, there has been a 

great dominance of Brazilian riders, any idea 

why? Is your country a good support? 

When i heard someone in Europe or Usa saying that 

is hard for they, i always think they dont have ideia 

how is for the Brasilians... A set of wheels for us is 

R$ 200,00 ¼ of a minimum salary here, in USA is 

U$ 50,00 and 1/20 of a minumum salary there, so 

for us is a really sacrifice to go on a World Tour, 

so we make it worthy, we dedicate, is very special 

for us.... Some people around is just having fun and 

dont need to sacrifece too much to do it... So i really 

belive is that the reason, Brasil goverment supports 

you with some budget if you are able to me top3 in 

the end of the circuit, this is something too, we hunt 

for that... But is just a little piece of the hole pizza 

you know... 

I REALLY APRECIATE THE 

OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU 

GUYS ARE GIVING TO ME TO 

SPREAD SOME WORDS AND 

I ADMIRE A LOT WHAT 

ALL YEAR HAVE BEEN 

DOING... THANK YOU 

GUYS... 

What is your opinion about the speed suit? 

Speed suits give you a little help maybe, to me 

even more because my leather is full kevlar on 

the chest ( to dont pop out my shoulders when 

crash) , so i get a lot of air on that place and speed 

suit blocks that... But on the gps i dont have any 

record in my town riding speed suit and i tried, 

so im not sure if really make real difference like 

people say, need to be super fast for work it, like 

plus 100km/h – 110/km/h... I was happy at the 

end of the tour at Killington when everybody 

had one too, so i prove is not the suit... I always 

like to think in oposite way, for sure is not slower 

right ? And if the rules is allowed to used i will 

have it in case someone have it... And if i have it, 

i will use, cause i already invest on that... So that 

is the history about suits.... Im down for nobody 

have it next time... Is to hot, to fragile too... 

How do you see the next year? Are you ready 

to defend your first place? 

Next year i see a lot of new riders becaming faster 

and faster and im preparing myself for that... 

I like challenges, after be the world champ this 

year i was thinking “ what about now... “ so i 

will do it again for sure... I didnt plan my next 

year yet, but to me even if i give a break that i 

dont know yet if i will do it, i just keep ready, is 

my life style, i love skateboard... I think im not 

the kind of guy that is super talent, all my results 

and skills where builded, so still here... And one 

thing is on my mind is that i learn so much this

HOW 

to 

Within the past few years I’ve taken it upon myself to take better care of my body 

and mind when it comes to racing, I’ve always been told to prepare for the worst 

but to expect the best. In order to help all of you prepare for the worst, and bring 

awareness to the benefits of physical and mental health within longboarding, I thought that 

I’d share what has helped me to become a stronger and smarter downhill racer. 

If you can, attempt to envision a human falling off of a skateboard at 100 km/h into rock-hard 

pavement. For some select individuals, this is a cruel reality that chases them while pursuing 

downhill longboard racing. If you’re a downhill racer, you understand how tedious and 

dreary it may feel to bounce back after a huge crash. For those of you who may not be able 

to get a grasp on something as intense as a downhill crash, picture it as if your life’s passion 

is exactly what can impede you from pursuing your dream, sprinkled with a few broken 

bones and a concussion or two for good measure. No matter how experienced of a rider you 

might be, anything can happen at anytime, which is why you and your body must be ready 

for whatever life throws at you. In order to best prepare yourself for these collisions, taking 

precautions for your body’s benefit is a necessity. 

In order to correctly jumpstart a new workout routine, it’s necessary to have the proper fuel 

for your body in order to build strong muscle (achieving fitness goals will usually be 45% 

training and 55% diet).

All year 

Long 

, 

Maintaining a proper diet while on tour 

can be especially difficult, which is why I 

search for compact, on-the-go supplements 

for my body with essential nutrients to 

keep me moving. 

An overlooked source of nutrients, which many of us initially start our day off with, is our 

coffee. The term NooTropics might be foreign to you, but not to Kimera Koffee, an artisan 

high-altitude coffee company from the Dominican Republic that prides itself on it’s cognitive 

boosting vitamins infused within its blend to better an athlete’s performance. Consisting 

of a proprietary blend of 725mg Nootropics including Alpha-GPC, L-theanine, Taurine 

and DMAE that aids cognitive function, muscle growth and prevention of cramping while 

performing physical activity. With one shot of this in the morning, you’ll be feeling hyped 

for the big day of racing ahead. 

During a busy race day, it can be just as challenging to consume the proper nutrients to keep 

your energy levels high while attempting to take every practice run. Many of us turn to energy 

gels or artificial sugars to keep us going, but there is a more natural and healthy alternative that 

we all overlook --- vitamin supplements. Built on a stable foundation of honesty and transparency 

by implementing clean and specialized vitamin supplements, Care/Of Vitamins stands 

by its word to provide customized supplement plans for its unique customers. By taking a 

5 minute survey, Care/Of provides you with a nutrient plan that’s specific to your body and 

goals. Whether you are battling fatigue, or wish to find a better way to recovery after a race or 

workout, Care/Of is there to help you reach your goals. I used Care/Of’s program during the 

2017 European Race circuit and it thoroughly helped me stay “in the zone” throughout the 

qualifying and race days when I was struggling to focus. I’ll continue to use their products 

throughout the offseason to aid in post workout recovery and to further benefit my overall 

health. 

When it comes to your physical well being while downhill racing, injury prevention should 

be a top concern to be aware of. The most effective practice that I’ve found to decrease my 

likelihood of breaking a femur or dislocating a shoulder has been Vinyasa Yoga. With a combination 

of fluid movements, to further the range of motion that your muscles have, and high rep, 

high intensity exercises to burn off unnecessary calories. Vinyasa has been the leading cause 

of injury prevention within my training. I’ve written a few routines that I personally do before 

racing on my website, but I highly suggest that you visit your local gym or training center to 

see if they offer Vinyasa or any sort of Yoga sessions to get an engaging, hands-on experience. 

You have the ability to progress your skating in new and creative ways. There is always something 

new to learn and experience, which is why I suggest you to try everything once. I’ll be 

providing more helpful and educational articles on fitness and health based practices that you 

can take advantage of in the future. I hope with this article and more to come that I’ll be able 

to help all of you Ride Harder, All Year Long.

In May 2017, CONSONNO LONGBOARD DH SPOT 

The first-ever skateboard downhill spot officially authorized in 

Italy, was inaugurated. 

Sbanda Brianza 

The initiative is promoted and managed by Sbanda 

Brianza, an Italian Skateboarding Association, with 

the support of FISR (Italian Roller Sports Federation) 

and CONI (Italian National Olympic Committee). The 

spot usage is regulated by a city ordinance issued by 

Olginate’s Town Hall Administration. 

, 

At CONSONNO LONGBOARD DH SPOT 

You can practice longboarding in safety, in a paved street closed 

to ordinary traffic. 

Since a decade, Consonno has been a 

reference spot for many Italian (and 

foreign) riders. After years of struggle, 

riders do not need to take care 

anymore about safety issues. Thanks 

to the hard work of Sbanda Brianza 

members, now you can skate the spot 

without worrying about spotters, walkie-talkies, and, 

most of all, cars. 

This long-awaited goal was accomplished thanks to 

the commitment of Olginate’s Town Hall Administration, 

that saw in supporting this activity a great 

opportunity to revive a village (Consonno) in disuse 

since years, making it a reference spot for skateboard 

fanatics. Consonno is an ancient village hidden in the 

hills around Lecco, close to Italian Alps, 40-km-far 

from Milano. 

After being drastically turned into an utopian Italian 

Las Vegas in the ‘60s, it fell from grace in the mid- 

‘70s due to a landslide that interrupted its single 

access road, and the town slowly became uninhabited, 

eventually turning into a ghost town. In 2009, 

the access road was restored and paved. Since then, 

it has become oneof the most famous longboarding 

spots in Northern Italy. CONSONNO LONG- 

BOARD DH SPOT is 1300 meters of pure asphalt, 

with 3 hairpins and 10% average gradient. 

The top registered speed is 82 kph (51 mph). The 

spot is ideal for both high-speed downhill sessions 

and chilly freeride runs with long buttery slides. The 

landscape around the spot is enchanting and mysterious, 

ranging from the green forests that characterize 

Brianza region to the spectral ruins of the abandoned 

ghost town. 

The spot is 10 minutes far from Como Lake, an ideal 

place for a quick, yet lovely, summer escape. The 

spot can be accessed only on Saturdays. During other 

days, the road is not closed to traffic, and safety is not 

guaranteed. Spot usage is free of charge, but is strictly 

allowed to Sbanda Brianza and FISR members only 

(membership can be requested at http://sbandabrianza. 

com/membership/, after paying a 20-EUR registration 

fee). The complete Regulation is posted at the spot 

entrance, located in Via Per Consonno, Olginate, 

LC, Italy (Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/iqa- 

5efTGSEG2, GPS: 45.792529 N, 9.404229 E), and 

on Sbanda Brianza website (http:// 

Pioneers 

sbandabrianza.com/consonno/). 

CONSONNO LONGBOARD DH SPOT is already 

well-known for hosting the Ghost Town Freeride, a 

weekendof “longboard, skate and rock’n’roll”. The 

2-days freeride, organized by Sbanda Brianza, will 

be there also next June 2018, for its third edition. The 

Ghost Town Freeride is widely-known for being one 

of the most funny and hardcore events of the whole 

European freeride landscape. Apart from the freeride, 

the event features other activities strictly connected 

with skateboarding lifestyle: skate ramps, live 

concerts (some music sessions are located inside one 

of the hairpins of the track and hosted concurrently 

with the freeride runs), street-art corners, BBQs, street 

markets and a Saturday-night party to scare the ghosts 

away. 

, 

To get the permission to use the spot, Sbanda Brianza members worked hard, side by side with 

FISR, to present to Olginate’s Town Hall Administration a concrete and safe proposal aimed 

at protecting both the spot and its users. After officially constituting the FISR-affiliated Sports 

Association, a compulsory status required to organize events such as the Ghost Town Freeride, 

Sbanda Brianza asked Olginate’s Town Hall Administration to get a city ordinance that 

governs and regulates the access and the private use of the road on Saturdays. Thanks to the 

affiliation with FISR, the bureaucratic part was relatively straightforward, as all FISR members 

benefit from federal insurance coverage. Riders are therefore protected and safeguarded 

when using the spot as they would 

be when using any other sports facility 

belonging to a FISR-affiliated 

Association. This was the key point 

that solved the negotiations between 

Sbanda Brianza and the Town Hall 

Administration, eventually leaning 

them to accept the proposal. 

The regulation of the spot usage 

confirms the great growth ofskateboard 

downhill in Italy, an ever-expanding 

sport that year after year 

features more and more dedicated 

events organized by cutting-edge 

Sports 

Associations and supported by the 

CONSONNO LONGBOARD DH SPOT 

There’s a place in Italy where bombing hills is legal! 

work of FISR and CONI. 

Sbanda Brianza is a Sports Club 

with base camp in Brianza, Northern 

Italy, founded by a group of crazy 

riders with passion for longboarding 

and obsession for extreme sports. 

The Association is active in the 

Italian 

longboarding scene through events 

organization and trainings for riders 

with a “sbanda (swerve) state-ofmind”. 

It is also deeply involved 

in offering longboard classes and 

camps for beginners, with certified 

instructors 

. 

“Our lifestyle? Adrenalin, music, 

bruised knees, wasted boards 

and parties!” 

Sbanda Brianza was born by 

chance (and for fun) back in 

2012. Since then, the crew has 

grown unceasingly over the 

years. 

In 2015, Sbanda Brianza was officially 

recognized as a FISR Sport 

Association. This allowed them to 

organize official events such as their 

trademarked Ghost Town Freeride, 

that took place for the first time on 

June 2016. Since then, things went 

more and more serious, and some 

members even had to change 

their everyday lifestyle to be able 

to manage the ever-expanding association 

activities. In 2016, Sbanda 

Brianza started to promote and 

offerskateboard and longboard classes 

for beginners under the “SLIDE 

NOW” 

course slogan. 

Sbanda Brianza events are widely 

recognized and distinguished for 

their spectacularism and the “partyhardness”. 

Among most famous 

European skate events, Sbanda 

Brianza riders are immediately 

recognized (and perhaps hated) by 

their crazy behavior that characterizes 

both their skate style and 

their party attitude, 100%-fulfilling 

their universally-recognized “RIDE 

HARDCORE” motto 

. 

Sbanda Brianza is thinking about its 

future and is currently looking for 

the right locations to organize other 

events besides the Ghost Town Freeride, 

e.g., slide-jam sessions and an 

Italian Skate Championship + IDF 

stage. All efforts are dedicated in 

training new riders and in spreading 

the culture of skateboarding, to give 

it more concreteness, strength and 

audience.

THE 

FUTURE 

FRANCISCO PUIG 

NEW PROJECT CLOSED ROADS FOR LONGBOARDING 

DREAM 

ROAD TO THE OLYMPICS,PRACTICE ENDURANCE 

hat do you want in the future for longboarding? This is about how we would like 

it. Roads that can be closed for longboarding, safe places for people to learn 

and train, bigger better pize money that the winners can invest in future races 

and festivals at events that bring paying spectators to make events cheaper and 

more fun. 

HRoads, asphalt, tarmac it doesnt matter what you 

call it, for us it is everything. It can be a plaza, a carpark 

or a big mountain road it is what we need to do what 

we love. It would be incredible to have dedicated roads 

not just the one in Italy but everywhere. Each crew 

could find a road close to them that could be closed 

at regular times each week and create legal skate spots 

everywhere round the world. We have been looking

MARC ESCODA AND MYSELF GOT A CALL FROM 

OUR TEAM MANAGER BIPO, HE ASK US IF WE GOT 

TIME TO GO RACE IN CHINA? SURE!. FOR ME THAT 

WAS AWESOME, THIS YEAR I WASN’T AVAILABLE 

TO GET OUT FROM HOME, JUST ONCE TO RACE 

IN BRAZIL, SO I MISS SO MUCH RACING EUROPE 

WITH ALL COMMUNITY BUT I GOT SO MUCH WORK 

AT HOME WITH TWO KIDS AND THREE WORKS. 

Aleix 

Gallimo 

阿莱士 · 盖历莫 

The fact was I got really stocked on that call. :) 

They send us to China without knowing anything more than you we got 

a contact and his name is Mark. 

So I decide to send some message to some people and try to see what 

was going on on that Race, and I got feedback from Vince Gao (he was 

our guide on the trip) and he share info with us from the race, of course 

all was in Chinesse and the only way to understand that was translate it 

with the translator. So before went there we knew were was the race, the 

dates, and nothing more, even how the track looks. 

From here I can say that was an awesome experience 

So we get tons of planes, from Barcelona to Hefei and finally we get 

there after been stoped in Begiin because Marc E. got Fever, and they 

stop us for a control, all super chill. 

A sure like all the skate trips they lost some Luggage on they way, the 

only good thing is Marc E. Board was in my Luggage :( so we just need 

to buy the rest of the gear for the race… 

But we good lucky Mark our contact picks up Marc E. And me at the 

Airport and take care of that, so THANKS MARK!!!! He deal with 

Airplane companies (in Chinesse) and get the luggage at Hefei airport in 

two days. Hell yeah! 

Mark drive us to the TIANZZHU MOUNTAIN were the track was and 

there we stop for grab food and meet Vince Gal, Russell Burgeron and 

Joardan Soegard. The fact was we didn’t grab food there the people sits 

on circular tables and share the dishes with the rest, tables rolls and you 

can pick up what you want. 

From there we went check the road, workers was there throwing hay 

bales, weird ones, they put ti upside down, and without space for compression 

so a bit scary. Don’t crash boys! 

Track was full of mental chicanes and just one lefty slide, all the track 

was full of blind corners that you must grip if you want beat the rest, so 

was pretty mental at that point, and funny at the same time. Love that 

kind of trucks, Marc E. too. 

They shut down the road and they send us down for try the tack and see 

if was good or not. The fact, it was full of hay every were and slippery, 

but track looks ok at he beginning, pavement was new too. 

But the second lap we saw a really flat part on middle that kill your 

legs. 

After that two runs we went to the hotel and meet more riders, also Marc 

E. and myself we went out to explore with the short boards. We went 

pretty far losing our selves and check a few weird places somewhere 

around the bottom of the Tianzhu Mountain. 

Riiing!!!! Woke up at 6am for get breakfast, the bus goes out from the 

hotel at 7am, Bus? Yes, don’t try to drive much in China probably you 

could die easy, people over taking doble lines, advancing cars on the 

wrong side in blind corners of the road, crazy, is more close to a video 

game than the real live, so you need to survive out there. Sure, even 

Busses and trucks make this. AWIIIIIII! 

So all the riders set it up at the top of the track, then time for the open 

ceremony, holly shit that was fucking long! Government guy upshot to 

the limit, so long to hear that speaches, we almost die there waiting! 

Finally!!!! Time to skate, all the riders set it up, so we hit the first drop 

easy. From my experience check the road first, from Killington 2016 ( 

were I got cars moving in the road with the track shut down) I don’t trust 

that much the safety in new events that I never rode. 

So time to wait on the bottom, the worst part for sure. Waiting more 

than 1h 45minuts destroys us. Timing was horrible, First day we got 2 

drops. At the morning and 0 at the mid day, because the road reserved 

for the skate jam. That last 30 minute because we got one injured girl 

from outside, she cros the road without taking care of skate jam at all, 

and ended roll out and completely destroyed after get crashed from a 

rider, Ambulance Ambulance!!!! And they shut down the skate jam, go 

home guys, we get so confused on that. 

Well, back to the hotel and more time to explore China with our short 

board, that was a funny thing.

R 

iiiiiiing! 

dhskate 

Woke up at 6am other time with jet lag, 

and went to the breakfast with worm drinks, 

and spicy food on the circular tables, that was 

one of the wired things for the Europe guys for 

sure! No coffee, no bread, no juice, just watermelon, 

and tomatoes like fruit, and tons of noodles, 

veggies, and weird stuff, hahhahhahaha. 

Back on the track to skate. There we meet Justin 

Burns and Zoe, and tons of Chinese guys, 

that I don’t knew any of they names, but I knew 

I got tons of pictures with them! TOOONNS- 

SS, all of them want to take pictures with us, 

at the beginning was a funny thing. But after 

there hundred photos with people you get a bit 

tired of people grabbing you for take a photo. 

We got 3 runs for the Race to Qualify, at 

least some racing before the race day :) 

But that was all, and at this point I get a 

bit worried, about how they will handle 

more than 5 runs on a day for the race day. 

But after get the freeride guys out of the race, 

things went more smooth. Finally yu-hu! 

I get impressed how the Chinese riders 

got tons of gear from around the world! 

Super glad to see they expend the money 

in products from around the Globe, 

lot of predictions trucks, boards from 

all around, an fresh wheels all the time. 

So if you’re in the skate industry make sure to 

check China, they out there hunting for new gear. 

Last day we got 6 runs, without warm up but 

with racing, worst thing from that was the start 

line, lot of people with foul starts and race director 

chilling on that. We race till the final. 

On the Start line was Marc E. Russell 

Burgeron, a Chinese guy and me, I push 

hard at the start line and went in front leading 

the race, Marc E. the Chinese and Russel 

battle the race, and Marc E. got 2nd, Russell 

Burgeron 3th and the Chinese got 4th. 

Stoked on the win, but at the bottom tons of 

chinese people came to us like hunters! They 

want a picture, more than 200K people watching 

the race in streaming, tons of media over us. 

And wait for the best, photos with all of them, 

maybe we expend 1h straight making photos with 

tons of Chinese people, even holding small kids. 

Podium with lot of people was fun, we just 

understand our names and a few things from 

a girl that helps us with instant translations. 

Time to dinner with the crew, and say by by 

to Marc E. he had to pick up the plain early 

in the morning, but the crew got time to 

throw some fireworks and walk round the city 

get lost and look for a massage before rest. 

Time to skate open roads, hardest thing in 

the trip for sure, we expend one day dealing 

with people for skate open roads, sure, 

it’s fucking dangerous but I’m in China and 

I want to skate, C’mon guys! Finally we 

made it to the road to skate, wasn’t easy. 

The road was awesome, and the concert too, but 

they got so much dust on the road, oh no, wheels 

don’t grip, they just slid, crazy! With the video 

game mode trying to avoid cars overpassing 

lanes, advancing bikes, or small cars that was 

a challenging thing, with no real grip on your 

wheels, hahahahaha. But made it, skate out 

there and I’m still alive, I just crash hard with 

myself, one of my trucks got broke, EATSHIT! 

Before our skate session we hit the first Shaolin 

Temple and we had a good time watching 

this old “castle” with all the monks and 

trainers. Really nice experience been available 

to travel in china and see the culture. 

So glad to travel with Vince Gal aka General 

Gal the guy how deal with all the people for us, 

the only one on the cruller that speaks Chinese. 

Well I get impressed how this Country is lock 

to the world with the people, if you’re not using 

a VPN for sure you’re not gonna see anything 

from the World, so no google, for search, Facebook 

for send message, of Insta for post photos, 

or some sites for buy things. They use WeChat 

a really strong app that have a bit of all that I 

said in the same place. They can share photos 

at the same time that they pay a beer on the 

street with his phone, just showing QR codes, 

I get fucking impress on that. They don’t need 

credit carts or cash, they flow with tecnologie.
