The Challenge of Creating Something Unique
From the start, the goal was to organize an event unlike anything we had done before. The Mirante Mini Ramp Session was born from the desire to explore new possibilities in skateboarding—not just as a competition but as an unforgettable experience. We found the perfect location, set up the structure, and brought together skaters who truly make an impact in the scene.
A Heavy Lineup and Insane Tricks
With a lineup featuring Ítalo Penarrubia, Weslley Alves, Fernando Previ, Wallace Gabriel, Isabelly Ávila, and Allyson Apelão, we knew the level would be sky-high. And that’s exactly what happened! The tricks were insane, the energy was incredible, and every skater gave it their all. It was a true celebration of skateboarding!
Beyond Skateboarding – Connecting with the Community
Before the event, we had the opportunity to visit the APAE of Ribeirão Grande. The experience was amazing and once again showed the power of skateboarding as a tool for inclusion. A particularly special moment was seeing a young autistic boy, who rarely engages in activities, connect with skateboarding and genuinely enjoy the experience. This proves that skateboarding is about much more than tricks—it changes lives!
Teamwork and Gratitude
None of this would have been possible without a dedicated team. Special thanks to Mayor Marcelo, who believed in and supported this bold idea, and to the city hall team, represented by Bia and Robson, who went above and beyond to make it happen. Huge shout-out to Rivero Filmes, Coan Drone, Arthur Gomes, Manoel Neto, Jorge Almeida, Switch Skate Projetos, Cid Sakamoto, and Márcio Dabliueme for their outstanding work in producing and capturing the event.
What’s Next?
The Mirante Mini Ramp Session was a unique experience, but this is just the beginning! We’re determined to bring even bolder and more impactful events to the scene, blending skateboarding, culture, and community. Stay tuned—there’s a lot more to come!
