Felipe Nunes 'Limitless'
Felipe Nunes' life isn't that of the typical professional skateboarder. Being born 22 years ago in Curitiba, Brazil isn't particularly out of the ordinary, both Yuri Facchini and Rodrigo Peterson hail from the same district, but the tragedy of losing his legs in a railway accident at age six certainly isn't something most of us have to deal with.
In a wheelchair until 11, with the help of his family Felipe's confidence blossomed to a degree with which he was riding a bike, playing football and ultimately skateboarding, the facilitator to his journey we're discussing today.
Having been officially welcomed to Birdhouse back in 2019, Felipe has been working hard on a follow-up part and 'Limitless,' playing now on the Thrasher website, is testament to the grit and determination the lad shows in everything he does. Rails, hills and even vert get destroyed with his own unique take on skateboarding and the sheer gnar involved in a clip like this is off the chain. See for yourself by clicking play below!
