The title could easily belong to a documentary, given the compelling narrative that unfolds.
Leonardo was born into a hardworking family with their own business, surrounded by a supportive network that enabled him to pursue his passion: skateboarding on large surfaces.
His innate talent in skateboarding was evident from his earliest attempts, fearlessly tackling some of Spain’s largest ramps.
Recognizing Leonardo’s potential, his family made a significant decision to relocate closer to the ramp Marcelo Curto constructed in the Valle de Mena industrial estate, infusing a new rhythm into his life.
With reduced travel time to the ramp, Leonardo devoted more time to honing his skills. It’s worth highlighting that his journey has been entirely self-taught, achieved with limited resources, thus amplifying its significance.
A glance at the dates and event names underscores the magnitude of his accomplishments.
Amidst this journey, a pivotal moment occurs when Luis Pinheiro learns firsthand about Leonardo’s aspirations to travel to the United States independently, without relying on external support.
With a personal invitation from Tony Hawk to skate on his ramp, Leonardo’s dream materializes when the Biobizz Foundation, through its financial support, facilitates the realization of this opportunity.
This groundbreaking development swiftly follows Leonardo’s visit to Tony’s house and the subsequent invitation to the XGames. In less than a year, his trajectory became skateboarding history, transcending the borders of Europe, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and the United States, resonating with audiences worldwide, showcasing the prowess of a 10-11-year-old executing a Backside Ollie from a 3-meter height.
Leonardo’s journey extends beyond mere sporting achievements; he stands as a beacon of perseverance, determination, courage, and resilience, illustrating how these qualities, when united, are unbeatable.
