Team rider Karen Jones was featured on one of Brazil’s biggest news websites www.uol.com. The article is in Portuguese but this is what Karen had to say:

“This was just published on UOL , its one of the biggest websites here in Brasil. For those who can’t read, its me showing 4 cool places that you can skate and hang out. One of them is Ave. Paulista they changed the ground on the whole extension of it (and its really long!). The sidewalks in Brasil are usually made of rocks, not clean concrete like you see in US. They made it for wheel chairs, but its so skateable…there’s nothing else like that around here. Its the most famous avenue in São Paulo, full of people, traffic, stores, restaurants, theaters. The other one is Ibirapuera Park, a famous huge park with museums inside and a big flat floor. The other two are my local skatepark, the wood one, recently redone. And São Bernardo legendary skatepark, wich I also skate at pretty much everyday. Anyways, if you are thinking of coming to visit Brasil, these are spots you certainly don’t want to miss.”
