Sandro Dias
Sandro Dias is one of Brazil’s top skaters to come to America and win big. When this smiling Brazilian hits the ramp, he raises energy levels and goes higher than almost anyone. As a result, Sandro is often on the winner’s podium for his consistently spectacular tricks, and is the master of Best Trick contests. Sandro skates around 2-3 hours a day but says, “It’s not practice for contests, it’s because I like it. It’s really fun. I can hang out with my friends on the ramp. It’s the best time of the day.”
