Brazilian Tallys Jr. and Leonardo Beazotto – decided to reunite in Europe to chase their respective skateboarding dreams from either side of the lens.

Can’t wait to see what this link-up produces in the years to come, supposedly they’re already sitting on a bunch of shit for the next one!
The guest line is his dad Tallys Marcos, who also contributed to filming some of the clips 🙂
