On the T.V. and some other news

Besides taking longboard skate to the most seen morning talkshow in national t.v., we have some other great news:

Rolls Rolls sponsors Portugal by Skate 

We've been dreaming of it since 2007 and never expected to have such a sponsor, but it came.

They have the coolest cruising skateboards you can think of, and in 2009 Rolls Rolls will be rolling down the portuguese roads too.

Speacially designed for cruising, with a low gravity centre and a light structure, these boards made in carbon or wood has been used all over the world in the craziest longskate expeditions.

We can spend hours admiring these boards. Check them out here.

Fapil, a portuguese brand:

It was founded in 1975, and since then Fapil became one of the biggest portuguese brands for home products. Fapil inovated by making corn fibres bags, becoming more and more eco-aware. It's a proud for us to receive such a support. 

Conversas de Rua (that's portuguese for Street Talk)

It's our time to sponsor and support. And because Conversas de Rua is an assocation in wich work we believe in, Portugal by Skate decided to ally itself to Conversas work, in the prevention of risk damages of all kinds.
