EVO NEW SCHOOL X HOMEY SKATESHOP

Escrito por Henrique Mattar Monnerat

Estive ontem na Galeria River no arpoador, para comprar um skate long e um eixo grande para meu EVO NEW SCHOOL, que até então estava usando um eixo venture para Street.

A galeria river para quem não sabe é o melhor lugar do rio para se encontrar peças para skate. Existem uma série de lojas especializadas e muita variedade de peças.

Minha parada ontem foi na Arpex Homey Skateshop, uma das mais antigas skateshops do rio. Lá fui super bem atendido pelo Marcelo que me indicou um setup maneiro e montou um belo skate. Abaixo algumas fotos da minha visita e do novo visual do shape NEW SCHOOL com um eixo invertido.

As consumption grows, much of our already limited natural resources become more and more endangered. The amount of waste generated mainly in developed economies is a problem to be tackled if we ought to try to solve the environment crisis. By giving waste a new life under the soul of a new product, we can contribute to a greener future for our planet.
