The world’s foremost sliding and grinding competition, Sobreskate‘s ”Slides & Grinds,” pulls out the wax once again for the series’ fourth competition. Luiz Apelão and JP Oliveira get things started, and this year there’s a bonus twist for grinders who want to get a little higher—we can’t wait to see how the skaters use the new double-ledge obstacle.

Skaters come from far and wide to slide and grind on our ledge (sometimes referred to as the “long block”), and we’ve seen quite a few Brazilian-specific seshes go down on it. Watch a few of them below!
