Former Chocolate am Ricardo Carvalho holds the honor of being an interesting bit of skateboard trivia. He was on the cover of the last issue of Big Brother twenty years ago. His other sponsors included Lakai and Stealth Wheels. Ricardo is from Capão da Canoa, Brazil.
After reading Cole Nowicki's latest Simple Magic column, the future doesn't sound very bright for Lakai. Lucas Wisenthal astutely observed that Royal Trucks has outlasted the once premiere footwear brand. I vaguely forgot Royal was still around until I noticed their new ad with Zach Allen in the November issue of Thrasher.
Ricardo's Big Brother cover photo is by Giovanni Reda.

I'm still shocked I've managed to hold on to all the issues of Big Brother that I managed to find back in the day. the Ethan Fowler interview issue was good
