SKF Bearings recently sat down with Tiago Lemos for a fun, quick strike interview that actually ended up being super insightful.
Ever wonder if Tiago is a dog or cat guy? Personal tricks that got away and need to revisit? Spots that no longer exist that he wishes he could skate? That one was my favorite, and makes so much sense when you hear the answer. What’re you waiting for? Dive in:

I wouldn’t have taken Tiago as a cat guy personally, but hey, what do I know? Ha! I’ll tell you what, though—if Hubba Hideout was still around, can you imagine what the dude would’ve done in it by now? I bet we’re all thinking of a few universal tricks, but let’s be real, the sky’s the limit with Tiago.

Another answer I liked was what his favorite thing about SKF was. I know that was pretty much a mandatory question, considering the brand was doing the interview, but I like that they didn’t try and hit us with some fluffy tech talk about how ”fast” and “durable” the bearings are. He just says, “the team.” And, well, I’d say that’s the best response he could’ve had. Ishod, Louie, Oski, Kader, Rayssa, Sablone… These are some heavy hitters! No debate.
