12 Pro Transition Skaters Hit Legendary Brazil Spots – Red Bull
The best trips keep it simple: good people, a loose plan, and a whole lot of sunshine. That was the blueprint as 12 of the heaviest transition hitters rolled into Florianópolis, Brazil, for a week of sessions with the king himself, Pedro Barros.
From Pedro’s private setup — two perfect bowls and a vert ramp — to the city’s skateparks, backyard bowls, and DIY spots, every session delivered.
With skate legend Arto Saari shooting photos and joining the ride, the week had everything: good vibes, blue skies, and dream setups. Safe to say summer showed up early.
Tristan Rennie and Salba Lead Backyard Pool Missions | Spot to Spot – The PLATFRM
A master of notoriously tight transitions, Tristan Rennie was raised skating in backyard pools to become one of the best to ever do it. Inviting the crew to tag along, Tristan Rennie and Steve Alba lead us on a two-pool mission around the San Bernardino area to skate Ridiculous Pool and Bottom of the Hill.
“Because it was ridiculously good for the time,” says Tristan of the naming origins of the first spot. Complete with a brief history of the pool’s access over the years, a few of his own childhood memories and a short list of pros who have clipped up there, from “Tony Hawk to Guy Mariano,” in Tristan’s view, “It is one of the most iconic pools in modern skateboarding.”
After making quick work of the Ridiculous Pool and firing up the squad — Yuro Nagahara, Eric Hutchinson, Jesse Lindloff, Hampus Winberg and Shota Mizote — a few of the crew break off from the session to finish things off at Bottom of the Hill. Don’t worry, we got the naming origins of that one, too.
