Vans Park Series: São Paulo Photos
The Vans Park Series made its way down to Brazil recently, hosting a massive contest and also leaving an amazing skatepark for the city São Paulo. And although the weekend was a competition, it was hard to see that through all the smiles. Obrigado! –Lui Elliott

Men’s podium: Tristan Rennie 3rd, Luiz Francisco 2nd and Pedro Barros in 1st
It was blazing hot out so Roman ripped his shirt for more air conditioning
