Bob: Skateboarding might not last forever -- professionally only a few people make money doing it, and in Brazil it was unheard of, so I had to make a decision of moving out and trying it, taking a shot at the US, chance it and try and make it happen over here.

Bob: When I first got approached by a small company in Brazil to get sponsored, it was just to get some free clothes or whatever. I was like, to me I made it! I mean wow man, this is insane! I’m skateboarding and I’m getting free stuff, and then I started getting free boards, and all of a sudden you start getting hooked up, and you don’t have to worry about talking to your parents and asking for a new board and asking for stuff, so I had made it right then, you know? There I am, getting free stuff. But then as time goes by you start to grow and mature and you realize, “I have to make a decision here.”
