Skate AdaptadoBio
With a physical disability in the lower limbs, Ítalo is part of the management team of the Brazilian Paraskateboard Association, an entity that officially represents the paraskate modality in Brazil. Among his most significant achievements is having skated on the Megaramp, one of the most challenging and dangerous structures in the world of skate.
This talented Brazilian skater lost both legs at 11 years old, after a tragic accident while trying to “surf” on one of the train cars. Despite this difficult experience, Ítalo transformed his story into inspiration. He starred in a short film produced by Red Bull, which gave him international exposure and turned him into a reference in paraskate worldwide.
