What's up

The Story Of Double-Amputee Pro Skater Felipe Nunes | SKATE TALES S2 Ep 4 Felipe Nunes is a 22-year old skater from Curitiba in Brazil. Aged just six, he lost both legs while playing on train tracks. After five years in a wheelchair, he was given a longboard to get around on. That longboard would become a skateboard- and the rest is history. In a short space of time he was competing in and winning contests against all-comers within his native Brazil. People began to notice just how talented he really was. Aged eighteen, Felipe felt ready to make it beyond Brazil and started a social media fund to enter Tampa Am. Tony Hawk championed his cause, and Felipe was headed to Florida. Incredibly, he made the Semi’s, and finished 21st overall as the only adaptive skater in the contest! Felipe had the skateboarding world’s attention, and soon joined Tony’s brand Birdhouse Skateboards. In 2019, he scored the cover of Thrasher magazine and did The Loop, second go. Now pro for Birdhouse Skateboards, his career has gone from strength to strength. Skate Tales is all about the skateboarding stories you don’t hear- as the man himself says: no excuses!
