*Saimon is a 21 year old brazilian who's been residing in london now for a year and half. After being acquainted with him a few months back it was quickly apparent that this guy is super structured in skating and life in general. His chilled persona is merely a facade for the intricately planned onslaught that awaits.
"Saimon says"
*Saimon is the freshest recruit for LCB STORE skate team, so to kick things off with a bang we thought we would give you a little insight into this young mans mind. This interview was done in the back of the car on the way back from Milton Keynes the other day.
*I persisted to ask Saimon questions while his partners in crime (Rafael and marcus) sat either side, blurting hilarious anecdotes in some wondrous dialect , consisting of drips and drabs of : Portuguese, spanish, english and Italian. Probably the funniest 45 minutes ever of my life and i hardly understood any of the answers being fired back at me in fits of laughter.
*But here,s the general drift:
ME* So being brazilian i assume that the roots of your riding came from surfing?
HIM* Na, not really.
