These are the stories that we love to see told: Carlos Ribeiro’s father and the van he used to chauffeur Carlos and his friends to skate and enter competitions all over Brazil. Spend the time to take this one in:
“Carlão wasn’t just Carlos Ribeiros’ father, or someone who supported every step of his skate career—he was a father figure to skaters all across Novo Hamburgo, the south of Brazil, and even the entire continent. He selflessly did everything in his power to help his son and his friends turn their skate dreams into reality. Learn more about Carlão, the Kombi, and the impact they had on skaters throughout Brazil in our new mini doc, “THE KOMBI”
