Primitive Skate Proudly Welcomes Aimu Yamazuki
“I first came across Aimu on Instagram’s Explore page. He had posted a little line that opened with a kickflip, and it was one of the most amazing flatground kickflips I had ever seen. I went straight down the rabbit hole watching all his videos. Instantly, I became a fan. His pop, his power, his board control, his finesse, and the way he stays calm on the board—it’s just really beautiful to watch him skate.
At Primitive, we have always built our team around three eras: honoring the past, representing the present, and pushing the future. I take pride in helping carry that mission forward by supporting the next generation of skaters who are laying the foundation for where skateboarding is headed. After watching Aimu skate—and later getting the chance to meet and skate with him myself—I knew right away he was going to be an important part of that future, carrying the torch not just for Primitive but for skateboarding as a whole.
I am honored to officially welcome Aimu Yamazuki to the Primitive Skate family.” – Paul Rodriguez

Tiago Lemos Welcome To Primitive Skate
“Tiago Lemos first came up on my radar through Carlos Ribeiro back when we first started Primitive Skate. Carlos would always talk about his friend back home who was getting so good at skating and had next level ability but didn’t even realize how good he was getting. When I went on the first “We Are Blood” trip and saw Tiago skate first hand, I put it together that this was the guy that Carlos was talking about, and I immediately saw what he meant. When I’m stood next to Tiago I’m the same size as him, but as soon as he steps on the board it’s almost like he turns into the Hulk: he’s bigger, stronger, faster. When he gets to a spot he’ll start methodically breaking it down, he starts with his normal tricks and builds on them until all of a sudden he’s rolling away from the most fucked up trick, and he does that every day, I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m tripping that Tiago is joining the squad, it’s a huge honor to make it official that Tiago Lemos skates for Primitive!” – Paul Rodriguez.
