Dino + Duó skate drink

Text by Flavio Samelo
The glorious Praça São Perpétuo, better known in the skateboarding universe as Duó, is one of the most classic spots in carioca skateboarding, more so in recent years because of the mega events of the @skatetotalurbe people and everything else that has glamor there with skateboarding and culture .

But the story of Duó started more than 15 years ago, when it was a somewhat abandoned place and people started to skate there, building obstacles in the most roots D.I.Y way possible. Friends got together, crowdfunding to buy cement and the like, and barbecue, skateboarding and hands to work literally.

Rescuing the people from @duo_skatedrink in one of the classic Wednesday meetings there since forever, our glorious collaborator Renan Carvalho as Dino, made a wonderful video that shows exactly these guys, from the beginning of the square, still skating, still having fun, still messing around, making fun of everyone, still doing what he did there at the beginning of everything more than a decade ago.

No matter how big the skateboard grows, no matter how many millions of reais it costs to set up and dismantle a mega event, what really matters is having a laugh with friends, getting the tricks right or not, even more so if it's with a barbecue at the peak to skating. Skateboard that's it.

Congratulations to everyone in this video, and to everyone who participated in everything there at Duó. Eternal inspiration.
