Felipe Nunes.

Inspirational.

Felipe is from Curitiba Paraná, Brazil. Unfortunately, his legs were lost in a train accident at a young age. Although he used a wheelchair, he still managed to do all the normal stuff kids do, like ride bikes and play soccer. Feilpe discovered skateboarding as a means to get around, which became a replacement for his wheelchair. He then discovered you could do tricks on a skateboard and kept going from there. His sponsors include Birdhouse, Vans, Indy, Mob Grip, and Bones Bearings.
