Born in Brasilia and transplanted to the U.S. as a child, Pedro grew up in the snow covered schoolyards of Lowell, Massachusetts. His submission (which doubled as a video part in the indie video, Gem) was a straight banger! As always, it's up to you guys who wins the Grand Prize. Use that power and vote, vote, vote! Visit the 50/50 page for everything you need to know as we close out 2016. And be sure to vote for Pedro if you're feeling his edit! —TWS
How old are you and how long have you been skating?
24, its been a decade [laughs]. Holy shit!
Where are you from and where did you grow up skating?
Born in Brasilia and moved to the U.S. when I was three years old. Grew up skating in Lowell, Massachusetts.
What’s a typical day like for you?
I typically wake up early and get a little breakfast going with the music blasting, you know, trying to get hyped up and shit. If I don't have a plan for the day I'll usually hit up some homies and go skate. Maybe go to an indoor park or something because the weather sucks this time of year [laughs].
What was your first reaction when you made it into the final round of the 50/50?
Dude—I was so hyped! I'm still surprised I made it!
Out of the other 6 Regional Finalists, whose edit are you stoked on the most?
Damn! They all stood out honestly. Brandon's part was wild, Will's was so good, too. Isaiah killed it though, his part made me wanna go skate!
Would you enter the #TWS5050 again next year?
Hell yea! Why not? But I mean I kind of want this one [laughs].
Anyone you want to thank or shout out?
First off—thank you to everyone who voted [laughs] and much love to my family and friends for all the motivation!
