Welcome Gabriela Mazetto
Excited to present our new 23 yo Brazilian rider who is killing the streets and social media with her best tricks. Once Gaby discovered the magic of skateboarding, she did not doubt to know what she really wanted. Began at 12 yo, skates 4-5 hours a day and she is regular. At only 17 y/o, she participated for the first time in the X-Games Austin and two years later, in 2017, she did it again at the X-Games Minneapolis. In 2019, she was one of the 3 Brazilians qualified for the World Cup finals in the “Street” modality. Now, her only goal is to participate in the Olympic Games.
