Our rookie Tobi Grünwald is already in Jetset-mode – he just came back from “visiting school in Brazil”.

Well, that’s what he told his mom, in reality, he was just there for the countless possibilities to skate – and some other fun activity like playing paintball :

After a long journey with striking airlines and severe security checks, he arrived at his guest family in Vinhedo and immediately found new friends: the two dogs of the family! It seems not too bad over there, after defeating his jetlag, he already took advantage of the pool (this time one with water in it, so no skating yet) and washed the dogs (not in the pool).

Getting up at six in the morning is easy when your body thinks it’s almost lunchtime. Putting on a school uniform isn’t too bad either, if it looks as cool as this one:

Only negative points so far: Annoying mosquitoes and no skating in school.

The mosquitoes stayed, but the “no skating in school” vanished quickly:

Getting to some brand new skate parks and to rock the Brasilian obstacles are great things you propably won’t see in Europe – but in Brazil!

The impressive skate park in Sao Bernado was a real highlight. Tobi especially liked it because of the almost four and a half meters high vert ramp. An amazing place to go for a good skate!

Now out for what Tobi was really into on his unique trip:
