Music: Beulah - Silver Lining Video: Pedro Damasio Our mission is to "change lives with skateboarding". Seeing kids progress in life is invaluable. There's so much more work to be done.

Marlon is one of those true ones that you can only find in real life. On the asphalt. On the basalt. He is admired not just for his skateboarding but also for the person he’s become. Who doesn't love Gnarrlon? The youngsters call him inspiration. Because he passes on what he learns, doesn’t hold anything back. He keeps the fire burning and shares the barbecue. Editing this video was like closing a cycle. The kid we saw growing up now helping other kids grow. Proud of you, my brother. Welcome aboard. - Pedro Damasio.

Music: Basalto - Walverdes https://open.spotify.com/track/11TeJRmLZ8R8ftr1qPlAG4?si=a7d73f4f958d4aa4 https://www.lpstk.org/ Marlon é um dos verdadeiros. Daqueles que você só encontra na vida real. No asfalto. No basalto. Ele é admirado não só pelo skate que tem, mas também pelo cara que se tornou. Quem não ama o Guina? Os mais novos chamam ele de inspiração. Porque ele passa adiante o que aprende, não guarda nada. Mantém a chama acesa e divide o churrasco. Editar esse vídeo foi como fechar um ciclo. O moleque que a gente viu crescer agora ajudando a molecada a crescer. Orgulho imenso, meu camarada. Seja bem-vindo. - Pedro Damasio LPSTK Inc é uma organização sem fins lucrativos, que leva o skate até crianças que vivem em comunidades carentes. Nós ajudamos elas a construir laços de amizade e a conhecer todas as oportunidades criativas que o skate pode oferecer.

It's about connection, friendship, and love. It's about skateboarding as we know it. Enjoy! https://www.lpstk.org/ --With your donation we are helping connect kids with skateboarding across borders, encouraging education, meaningful friendships, and the power to dream.
