For the latest episode of Skate Tales, Madars heads to Brazil to hang out with New Balance Numeric and Primitive Skateboards pro, Tiago Lemos. The young ripper grew up in Jaguariúna, from extremely modest beginnings, and discovered skateboarding as a way to keep out of trouble. We hear from his childhood friends and visit the old spots he skated as a youth, from his hometown skatepark to the tough streets of São Paulo. We even get to see him making and flying kites with his homies, just like they did as kids. It's a truly incredible story of overcoming huge adversity, from living on the streets to becoming one of the most recognisable names in skateboarding today.
