Felipe Nunes talked about his journey in skateboarding and how he shredded against all odds in this episode of the Hawk vs. Wolf podcast.
Felipe lost his legs in a train accident at the age of six. At twelve years old, he used skateboards to get around because his prosthetic legs were poorly made.
Later on, he discovered that skateboarding can be more than a means of transportation. He started learning some tricks and joining skate contests.
The skate community was very welcoming to Felipe, making him realize that he had found his place in his life.
