Tucked away in the south region of Brazil is a magical island known as Florianóplis, where Pedro Barros refines his skateboarding skills, jams out with friends in rock sessions, and more recently started his own board company. We were fortunate enough to catch Pedro on a recent trip in California, where he and fellow Brazilian teammates took over the CATF for some practice days before heading into Dew Tour Des Moines. Before Pedro got fired up for a practice session, we sat him down to get a shakedown on his new board company, Privê, and the ins and outs of his skateboard gear. Get the full scoop from Pedro in the video above, and check out an itemized list of all his skateboard parts below.

Top Tricks & Runs: Nyjah Huston Wins Dew Tour Men’s Street Finals | Dew Tour Des Moines 2021
Huston had four different scores break into the 9-point range, which made him nearly impossible to beat. After landing an incredible first run he one-upped himself by finishing his line with a half-cab to backside smith grind to backside 180 out of the 11-stair hubba to shock everyone.
Huston followed it up in the individual trick section on the same 11-stair hubba stomping a half-cab backside noseblunt to fakie, a switch heelflip frontside tailslide, and finally a switch heelflip frontside 5-0 to earn the highest score of the event, a 9.56.
“It’s a sick time for skateboarding, and I can’t wait to get [to the Olympics]” said Huston, 5-time World, and previous Dew Tour champion, looking forward to becoming an Olympian. When asked about the adjustments he made to win on the day, Huston responded, “I tried to give myself to room with the points… to give myself less pressure to land my final trick. I hadn’t landed the switch heelflip frontside 5-0 yet in practice, and never on anything that big.”
