DRIVE starring Mike Vallely: Brazil Part 2 (2008)
Season Three | Episode Two
Episode 2 of DRIVE finds Mike Vallely continuing his trip to Brazil.
Leaving Sao Paulo, Mike skates at a local park in Poa and leaves behind five complete Element skateboards for the local kids to share. From there, he heads north to Rio De Janeiro, where he sessions the first skate skatepark ever built in South America with fellow Element team rider Levi Brown and a group of locals.
Mike visits the infamous City of God, one of Rio’s many favelas. There he meets up with Brazilian hip hop star MV Bill, who started the Central Unicas Das Favelas organization to further the plight of the favelas youths who often get caught up in the rampant drug trade. Using skateboarding as a motivational tool and outlet, MV Bill has funded the construction of a mini-ramp and play area in the heart of the City of God, which Mike skates.
The episode ends with Mike skating at another local Rio park with a group of local kids.
