How you guys doing?! I hope you all great around here...
My name is Renan Carvalho. I was born in october 22,1992 in Petrópolis - RJ (a city up the mountains)

The first contact with skateboard that excited me to the most was through VHS video called "Trouble shooters"

Couple months later my grandma gave me a brand new skateboard, I was 9 years old and thats all started!

A few year later I moved 2,656 Miles away to Manaus - AM, it is a big city in the middle of amazon jungle. And there I was more into street skating everyday, I met incredible skaters like "Vitor Sagaz" , "Adonis perfeito", "Maikon Quaresma" and a few more, also the "ponta negra street plaza" give me a lot of skate knowledge too. And there I used to watch skate videos every day, before and after to skate.

Two years later I come back to my birth city and I was invited by "Alecrim" and "Stuart" to have a part in the first oficial skateboard video from Petrópolis, "Inverno constante" year: 2006

I won my first sony handycam with a fisheye and three years later I dropped my first full lenght video called "Por trás do cimento cinza" year: 2011

In 2011 I moved to Rio de Janeiro city to do a movie college, close to plaza duo. There I did lot of new friends and a lot of things happened ( I will talk more about in other posts in the future )
at the end of the course I made a skateboarding video as a monograph called "Baobá", the video was inspired by our ancestral african culture, i mixed tribal music and visual effects that transmit the concept of the theme.

He invited me to be a new member of skatehive community and of course its been a pleasure to meet new people and are be able to understand more about this new world for me.

----------------------☝️ Click for Voting ☝️------------------------
Our proposal is about creating our own tribe platform and we are starting by creating our token our goal is to use the power of web3, to enable people to get rewarded for doing what gets them, and others stoked. Though Stoken is inspired by the stoke generated by extreme sports, we believe stoke is universal, and we do not want to prevent anyone from sharing their stoke with others.
