Red Bull’s Greetings from Santiago | Skateboarding Takes Over Chile

Red Bull‘s latest episode of ‘Greetings’, the series that takes you into the heart of global skate scene’s favorite communities, goes deep into the local scene of Santiago, Chile to see how skateboarding is taking over there. South America is skateboarding’s great untapped wellspring. Chile is the sleeping giant with its capital city Santiago being called home by an estimated 20,000 skateboarders. Skateboarding was effectively imported into Santiago in the late 1970’s when, as legend has it, a group of kids visited the USA and brought a grip of boards back- and, in effect, started a shockwave that brings us to the present day. The staggering numbers of skaters who come out annually for Go Skateboarding Day Chile made the council understand they had a youth phenomenon on their hands. Find out what happened next in Red Bull’s ‘Greetings From Chile’, above!

We’ve been working with Red Bull Skateboarding for many years, we even held the Red Bull Curb Kings Contest at The Berrics in 2019, check out some of the other projects we’ve done with the brand and their riders, below.
