Another year, another international adventure: with beautiful scenery, sunny skies, and often unbearably hot weather, Portugal set the perfect scene for our newest team project. Led in Lisbon by Martim & Rodrigo Braz-Teixeira, over the hills of Miraflores, welcomed in Sines by Ricardo Lino & family to explore Santo André, Santiago do Cacém and other hidden gems. Surrounded by the sounds of the local language, like a sweet bounce of sonorities all mixed up with the gibberish spoken among our international guests. Fed with cheap food from Lidl and amazing, tasty treats devoured at the terraces of cafés.

Because of course, it was always coffee time. Views of the intense blue of the sky, the deep blue of the Ocean, steep drop-ins onto sandy beaches, and quick dives in the water to refresh. Sights of lovely paintings, colorful walls everywhere, art and poetry infused into our daily routines. Visions of long hair and sweaty landings, stinky liners drying in the hot sun, lazy naps in the shade. Life on the streets.

Because of course, there was no better place for us to go. So, when it came down to the skating itself… You be the judge of how much insane stuff happened in just under two weeks of time, in the wonderful land of Purtugalya!

Here is a street section from João Ruivo. João just can’t stop skating! Almost every single day you’ll find him skating the streets of Coimbra, Portugal, having fun FReeriding, or getting filming clips with his UFR AP skates on street spots you would never imagine you could skate on. His view on skating is very different than anybody else, he doesn’t even try to skate different spots, that is exactly what he likes, that’s the normal for him, unusual skate spots. And we love the creativity.

Andrieferson Silva is a barber (originally from Brazil), living in Portugal ; he is also a blader and filmed this interesting piece with Emanuel Andrade Pimentel for “Switch Rolling Life”.

Adri is a dedicated independant barber, and he enjoys passing on knowledge, you can follow his adventures on his quite popular Youtube Channel (portuguese language). The video featured in this post is also in portuguese, but you don’t need to understand the language (I don’t) to appreciate the positive vibes emanating from it! Cheers guys :)

My long lost part from the Hanglosers movie that was unfortunately fried in a digital melting accident. Luckily my section was finished and we found a non HD render file in the hangloser dungeon and brought it back to life! Filmed and edited by your homie Vincent Lindgren in Spain, Portugal and Thailand. Thanks for all the great times Vince and big shout out to the Hanglosers! - Nick Lomax.

Coimbladers. While the daylight time was changing (and not for good) we managed captured our local blade scene in the last two weeks of october. Filmed in Coimbra, Portugal by João Ruivo and Miguel Henriques.

Acabou o horário de verão e toda a magia a ele associada. Capturámos alguns momentos nesses ultimos dias! Got some clips between 18 and 31 October to take revenge from sadness when the daylight time sucks!

Shitty rail, 34 degrees celcius heat, no wax… Portugal AF… Couldn’t say no. - Sam Crofts.
