Quiksilver UK in Brazil – footage online now!

Ryan — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 12:45:14 +0000

As seen in the latest issue of the mag, the UK Quiksilver team found themselves in Brazil earlier on in the year, with Ross McGouran, Sam Bosworth, Pete King and Dan McDermott in tow, meeting up with uber-productive Brazilian head Otavio Neto for a week long exploration of the countries skate-able terrain.

Not only did Otavio act as tour guide and skate pretty much every single spot on the trip, he also managed to film the entire mission too, alongside TM James Stentiford on GoPro duties. Tim Crawley was handed the footage at the end of the trip and has turned the mountain of Gigabytes into two separate edits, both of which can be located underneath.

Get stuck into Otavio’s “HD Edit” and Stenti’s “GoPro Edit” now, then check out Sidewalk issue 174 for more from the trip!

Quiksilver in Brazil – blog 4

Ryan — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 12:01:34 +0000

The fourth blog from last weeks Quiksilver getaway to Brazil is ready for your eyes underneath – get yourself ready for the full article from the trip, which should be coming straight at your eyes via the mag sometime soon…

“On our last day in Rio we headed to the Favela to skate a concrete mini ramp – it’s the same one Bob skates in the Brazil issue of 411 about ten years ago. The Favela’s are illegal settlements on the steep hills on the edge of Rio run by drugs gangs where the police don’t dare go. Amazing place, amazing people, the only unsettling thing was seeing guys riding round on the back of motorbikes with massive AK47′s. Especially when Bozza decided to befriend one of them by offering him some vodka…” – James Stentiford

The third update from Ross, Dermo, Bosworth, Pete, CJ and Stenti on their Quiksilver mission to Brazil is now in, which sees the crew roll into Rio. Have a gander below for more snapshots and footage…

We're in Rio now for a few days. We did the tourist thing for the first day due to rain. In this photo you can see our local guides Gabriele, Lukas and our Brazilian legend of a tour guide Otavio. Oh, and a couple of baked Brits.

Paying our respects...

Sunset skate spot session.

Otavio, our guide, has got it sewn up – he has a show on Brazilian TV, takes photos, writes for the Brazilian skate mags and is pro. Here he is in action (via the telly).
