We’ve watched Sky progress through two years of holding the Men’s National Concrete Rodeo Champion title for both 2006 and 2007 to working his way up the World Cup Ranks ending his 2010 year with his first pro win at Rock the Cradle –Houston, Texas. He'\’s now taking his NW concrete skills to a new level that’s got him currently ranked at #2 World Cup Bowl Pro!!!! Sky's been traveling the globe to compete and be a part of the skate life he loves. He’s been busy giving back to his roots and community in International Art shows, TV, public speaking, and finishing up his high school years with honors too. However, when it comes to skating he’s charging hard as hell and taking the world by storm along side some of the top names in the industry. Sky is holding true to his passion for skateboarding no matter what the terrain and is proud to be sponsored by: LIB Skates, Vans, Quiksilver, Tracker, Khiro, Bones, Black Flys, 187 pads, Pro Tec, Skullcandy, Motto, and Sno Con shop. When he’s not skating you’ll most likely find Sky hanging with family and friends while snowboarding for LIB Tech snowboards as a team rider for Stevens Pass, WA. "The last 10 years have been amazing. I’m stoked to go where skating takes me and to progress as far as I can. Thank you to Khiro for always supporting that." –Sky |

Pedro is only 12 years old! Just a Kid, but what a lot people don’t know yet is that he can skate strong like a big man! Since Pedro’s first steps at just 11 months old, he actually preferred to ride the skateboard, then tried to walk! Pedro went to Australia just before he turned 6 years old and lived there for almost 4 years. While in Australia, Pedro learned how to speak english and skated all the parks in Australia where he learned all the basics of riding like a Hard„Core Australian! Pedro then went back to Brazil and was invited to ride for Volcom. In Pedro’s first year of competing he got sponsored by Evoke, DropDead, DropShoes, and WaveBoyz. Pedro soon became the Overall Brazilian Champion in his age division, beating many of the top Pro Riders from Europe and South America! Thanks to the support of his family and dad, Pedro has a vert ramp in his backyard where is hones his vert skills and attack while skating and ripping with his friends. Pedro’s goal now is to travel around the world as an ambassador of skate culture while skating all the different terrain and parks he can. Pedro is the 2008 Vert Am World Champion and X Games Gold Medalist and is stoked to be sponsered by Khiro!! |
