The trajectory of Latin American skateboarding as a global force began with the Brazilians, but in the last decade almost every country in South America has contributed its verse to the song: Jhancarlos Gonzalez from Colombia, Milton Martinez from Argentina, Mathias Torres from Chile.
Angelo Caro is Peru’s first professional skateboarder, and he is absolutely superb. The streets of South America are quick teachers when it comes to not falling, and Angelo has been on a rocket ride of progression over the last few years. His talent is undeniable, but his natural humility keeps him grounded. Having shone in our unrepeatable skate tours of Colombia, Paraguay, Belize and beyond, Angelo has balanced street skating with a contest career that started internationally with second place at Red Bull’s Skate Arcade in Lisbon, Portugal back in 2015.
Since then, his skating career has taken in everything from winning Prague’s awesome Mystic Cup to taking second at last year’s enormous Pan-American Games contest. Angelo continues to live and skate in his native Lima, where he splits his time between logging street clips and cruising the San Miguel skatepark which bears his name almost every dry day. This is his heavy-duty, brand-new video part, filmed exclusively for Jart and Red Bull Skateboarding: as ever, enjoy!
