Hiring them shows once again that LOUD is innovating. For the first time, an organization of this kind will be present at the Olympic Games and join the sport's debut at the biggest sports event in the world. In addition, their arrival at the organization shows a policy that has been successful: that it is possible to follow your dreams and inspire the world with stories that, when told well, touch the hearts and minds of the public.

From humble beginnings to the skate lanes

However, after overcoming many difficulties during life, today the athlete lives off the sport he loves so much. Third best in the world according to the World Skate ranking - the sport's regulatory body which is recognized by the International Olympic Committee, Luizinho was the first to qualify in the sport for the Olympics.
