I don't know if you all know our skateboarding history, but I was thinking about it and felt like bringing a little of it here and showing everything we've done over the years.
nogenta promo-00 was our starting point, and back in 2017/2018 we started the saga of filming our first movie as a crew, and that was awesome. We didn't have a good camera, we didn't know how to film that well, but we were very motivated to show our skateboarding and the birth of our gang, and together with my brother @humbertoperes and @dropebox we managed to do it and delivered a very real skateboarding video that every time we watch it we feel nostalgic, full of good memories.
Something surprising happened while we were filming the video, that one fine day we ran into none other than Chris Haslam in downtown Rio de Janeiro, what the hell!!!?? and he was incredible with us and of course he filmed with the crew and opens the video. so check this at the video

Shortly after, following the same flow as our first film, we also released our second short film, Da Ponte Pra La, which was also filmed on a cell phone and edited by @humbertoperes, following the idea of showing skateboarding in the interior of the city of Rio de Janeiro, where Humberto and some of the crew members live. It was really cool that in our first few years we were able to deliver two skateboarding films and strengthen the culture both in the capital and in the interior of our city.

After about 4 or 5 years we continued filming, but this time we got a camera, mic, and better support to produce our second film and we continued the saga of being a crew creating skateboarding videos, this is our true driving force Bringing together everyone from the first video and some more friends who arrived, @mauricionavaskt and I had the idea of making a film called Pião x Nogenta, which has a more documentary tone and which aims to criticize the uncontrolled and chaotic way of working that the world has, and that when we skateboard we can escape this oppressive vision and with this whole concept we released our second film and this time a complete 30-minute film with individual parts with all the participants and friends of our crew

Continuing our saga, we have reached our fourth film, which is all filmed at night as an ode to Rio's nightlife at a time when we did a lot of street sessions at dawn and it was really cool to experience that moment with all the guys, we called this film NOGENIGHT and it came out in one of the main Brazilian skateboarding media, which is the Black Media Skate website and YouTube channel, and it was an honor because it brought the name of our crew to the attention of the entire Brazilian skateboarding scene. This film has a more dynamic tone, with little chat and a lot of skateboarding, all together and mixed and showing the real essence of skateboarding in Rio de Janeiro and it certainly has a special place in my heart, because each session shared with friends generated memories that I carry with great affection to this day, and realizing that from the beginning to the present day we still feel the same desire to ride and film with friends, @mauricionavaskt, @humbertoperes, @xvlad, @vitimribeiro and many other friends who made the vibe happen

and this is not the end, quite the opposite. we continue producing new videos and formats always with the intention of spreading the culture of skateboarding to everyone around us in an honest and true way, I hope for many years to come for sure, after these films we also have films of tours, snippets of skateboarding days during the summer and all the essence and chaos that this city gives us and here are some links that you can access all this and truly know who we are and that here we breathe skateboarding every day, every hour and all the time
