Brazilian skateboarder Pedro Barros is considered one of the best concrete skaters of his, or possibly any, generation. Energised by he adrenaline and crowd noise, he blows the doors off every time, and he has fun doing it. Having come up under the tutelage of Sandro Dias and Bob Burnquist, Pedro quickly rose to dominate every Park event, everywhere from his homeland to Australia and the USA. Unlucky to roll his ankle in the warm-up for his own Skate Generation contest in his hometown in Brazil in 2015 but his insane part in Vans' seminal Propeller video the same year really showed what he is capable of. Fortunately, he recovered well and went on to win events around the world, year-on-year and claim a silver medal when skateboarding made it's debut at the Olympics in Tokyo 2020.
