Welcome to Urban World Series News of the week March 1, 2024.
Gustavo Ribeiro and Jart Skateboards parting ways is our first Urban World Series news of the week!
“Back in 2012, we first met Gustavo and could tell he had something special. Even if he didn’t speak much English, the excitement in his eyes said it all. We saw his potential and invited him to join the JART Skateboards flow team, starting a lasting bond. We’ve watched him grow, achieve his dreams, and supported him every step of the way.
Now, it’s time to say goodbye, but we’re left with great memories. Gustavo will always be part of the JART family and as he sets out on new adventures in and out of skateboarding, our best wishes go to our World Champion, Gustavo Ribeiro.” Jart Skateboards.
Who’ll be his new board sponsor?
The portuguese competed in Urban World Series Extreme Barcelona back in the days, showing that he would be one of the best skaters in the World!
He won Extreme Barcelona 2017 and got 5th in 2018 and 2020.
Pichilemu hosted the exciting Vans Riders Cup surf festival on February 24 and 25, and in addition to the competition in the famous waves of Punta de Lobos, the event included the reconstruction of the Skatepark, destroyed by the 2010 tsunami.
A project that seeks to revive a key space for the practice of skateboarding and surfskate, which was originally inaugurated in 2004 and this new concrete facility promises to be more durable and challenging, ensuring that the skatepark will continue to be a meeting and growth place for new generations of skateboarders in the region.
Red Bull and Danny León are always pushing skateboarding and urban sports to new heights!
This time, they built an epic bowl with an amazing view at the top of Dubai! Danny León, Sakura Yosozumi, Alessandro Mazzara and Alex Sorgente joint this epic session, days before the WST Park and Street olympic qualifier series for Paris 2024.
Just watch and enjoy!
