"Samuel is a 25 years old kid from a small town up in Galicia (north of Spain) called O’barco de Valdeorras. This place is a valley in the middle of nowhere. It’s got a tiny and shitty skatepark and no street spots but yet him and his best friend “Pombo” have been shredding that place for years. I only met Samuel once when we were teenagers but years later, we got to hang out again, he was funny, good on the bike and the king of the party, haha.
Wild scenes at the WDGF Bajkon Jam out in Czech Republic. Proof that you can do anything with a couple of pallets and some scaffolding poles. These guys know how to put on a good time.
