Yndiara Asp Gives Us A Tour Around Floripa | Red Bull Skate Generation

What do you know about the most skateboarding island in the world? Let’s take a whirlwind tour of magical Florianópolis with the people who know it best. Connected to the mainland of Santa Catarina state on Brazil’s Atlantic seaboard by just an expansion bridge, Floripa- as she is affectionately known- is not only home to more bowls per square metre than anywhere else in the world but a gnarly downhill scene, world class surfing and is also a place where nature in all its diverse glory expresses itself more fully than almost anywhere else on the planet. Pedro Barros and Yndi Asp decided to give us the lowdown on the place they know as home.

Alexis Sablone | Red Bull SŌLUS 2021 Entry

Ryan Sheckler has once again opened the doors to his skatepark and invited 17 of the world’s most well-rounded skateboarders to battle it out in year two of Red Bull SŌLUS. Each skater has one hour to put together their best line at The Sandlot; no crowd, no other skaters, no distractions – just an internal battle to get the best line possible.

Possibly the smartest skater in the Solus contest, Alexis Sablone has two master’s degrees to go along with her 20 plus year career in the skate spotlight. She is a legend of street skateboarding that commands the respect from the core group of the anti-contest skaters, while still being able to have that same audience cheer her on while she competes in the recent Tokyo Olympics. That’s the range all skaters want.

Alexis skates for Alltimers, Converse, Orchard Skate Shop, Thunder, and Dialtone.

Judges Vanessa Torres, Mike Sinclair, and Jason Rothmeyer will evaluate each video based on style, progression and creativity. Following the judges announcement, you will have a chance to vote on your favorite video part and the fan favorite will be announced on October 20th.

Lucas Rabelo | Red Bull SŌLUS 2021 Entry

Ryan Sheckler has once again opened the doors to his skatepark and invited 17 of the world’s most well-rounded skateboarders to battle it out in year two of Red Bull SŌLUS. Each skater has one hour to put together their best line at The Sandlot; no crowd, no other skaters, no distractions – just an internal battle to get the best line possible.

Just turning pro last year, Lucas has already made his mark on the contest circuit with a bag of handrail moves that only he can do consistently like hard flip frontside nose slides and bigger flip frontside boardslides. So, don’t blink during his run because you might see something you’ve never seen before.

Lucas skates for Flip, Red Bull, Jessup, Matriz Skateshop, and Thunder Trucks.

Ryan Sheckler has once again opened the doors to his skatepark and invited 17 of the world’s most well-rounded skateboarders to battle it out in year two of Red Bull SŌLUS. Each skater has one hour to put together their best line at The Sandlot; no crowd, no other skaters, no distractions – just an internal battle to get the best line possible.

Ryan Sheckler has multiple lifetimes worth of experience in the world of professional skateboarding: numerous gold medals, his own TV show, standout parts for Plan B, Etnies and Red Bull, magazine covers, and even his own charitable foundation. But Ryan will tell you himself that home court advantage doesn’t guarantee success in this contest. There will be plenty of stiff competition. But Ryan is used to it.

Ryan skates for Plan B, Independent, Etnies, Grizzly, CCS, Nixon, Oakley, and Red Bull.
