Our latest “Offerings” interview explores some choice picks from Thaynan Costa, a conversation which took place shortly after he visited our shop to premiere the second video instalment from Village PM…
Words and interview by Jacob Sawyer. Thaynan Costa self portrait in London
Thaynan Costa is one of our favourite skateboarders to watch, an interesting individual who has succeeded in carving a path for himself on his own terms. He has been killing it for years, and with youth on his side, his skateboarding career has already involved many chapters, in different countries, and continues to evolve. His current reality has him grounded as a pro for Yardsale while playing an integral part of the Village PM team, two homes that match and nurture his mindset. His ability to keep one-upping himself means new footage is always fresh, endearing us to the Portuguese spots he favours frequenting, and he continues to transmit proof of his consistent progression from his home base in Lisbon and further afield. Having recently returned home from a hectic travelling schedule, we caught up with him in the recovery stages and found him with an afternoon booked out to discuss the “Offerings” he has selected for us.
When it came time to pick a skate video, Thaynan dipped back to a time when his life was changing dramatically. Shortly after moving to Portugal’s capital city from Brazil, he was introduced to the Alien Workshop Mind Field video, and having been raised on a slightly more formulaic vision of what skateboarding could be, it opened his eyes to a whole new world. It was interesting hearing him expand on that time in his life, and to imagine experiencing some of the soundtracking mastery of Greg Hunt’s production in a third language. The book we spoke about was the first of a trilogy penned by Brazilian author Augusto Curry, a thought-provoking book with a loyal following, that has since been adapted into a film. This one made an impact on Thaynan, and he recommends it to anyone as a text that will aid self-reflection, a gem which he absorbed in his second language.
Village PM business has provided more opportunities to sample what the Parisian streets have to offer, and the film discussed is a Woody Allen love letter to the city, starring salad grind master Owen Wilson. This film romanticises the city and its rich cultural history through the eyes of a writer, but opens up some life lessons of its own, and while the main protagonist struggles with nostalgic ideals, the message to make the most of our present is clear, Thaynan reminding us that future generations may well have their rose-tinted glasses focused on 2025. The final life-enriching recommendation is an easily ingested audio treat with a lot more going on behind the scenes. This album, created by Vegyn, involves a crazy AI narration of some poetry that will get your cogs whirring. This album pick, if you like it, has been succeeded by a new one hot off the presses, so you could walk away with two new records in rotation.
It was amazing having a slightly philosophical chat with Thaynan, and it’s clear that he is someone who thinks a lot about life, as well as skateboarding. We hope that his selection spreads some joy. We closed out the conversation by talking about what he has going on right now and in the future, modelling, trips, Village PM, UK favourites, and more. This is the first time that he has spoken in an interview for some years now, the last one dating back to a more American reality. He mentioned enjoying this one so much that he would be down for another, so anyone out there looking to pick his brains further, get at him, he’s one of the best…
Alien Workshop – Mind Field (2009)
What was happening with you when you saw this video for the first time?
Wow, I think I had just moved to Lisbon from Brazil at the time. It was a video that opened my mind to a different kind of skating. Growing up in Brazil, we had a very limited number of videos that we would watch, and most of them were full of just ledge skating, really gangster, you know? It’s hard to watch a video from the beginning to the end, where everything gets you, from the music to the skaters. With this video, the way that all came together, it was a kind of awakening for me. It was a piece of art. I think it was the first video I owned on DVD. I had the original copy with the little book it came with. It just hit me different. It was the video I would watch before going skating, maybe not the whole thing, but definitely some parts. I would watch it to get some ideas, and it gave me a different vision of skating.
Do you remember where you were when you first saw it?
I actually saw this for the first time at a friend’s house. I didn’t have it yet, and he suggested we should watch it. So it was one of my best friends who introduced me to it. I remember being very interested in the whole thing. The whole video was just so beautiful, the tricks were insane, but the way it was put together is what got me. The team too, at the time Alien Workshop had a very unique team, I think.
What videos were you raised on when you were living in Brazil?
We watched a lot of 411 videos, the Brazil one obviously. When I was living in Brazil, it was all on VHS. When 411 VM issue 64 came out, the whole focus was on Brazilian skaters, Alex Carolino, Cesar Gordo, Fabio Cristiano, Rodrigo Petersen. They all had amazing footage. I would just go to this gallery with my mum, and there was a shop that sold skate VHS tapes. I didn’t know what was in them though, I didn’t know much about skating, so I would choose ones where I liked the name or the cover. Maybe it would cost 40 Euros for two, and then I would go home and watch just those for a solid two months. 411VM Issue 64 was a big one, and Europe 2003, where American pros would come to European cities to skate, Zered Bassett on tour. The first big video I had would have been The Firm Can’t Stop, that’s another one I watched a lot when I got it. It’s funny how you like certain parts when you’re younger and then you grow up and appreciate others. So you watch the same video now, but your favourite parts have changed. When I was a kid, I liked Rodrigo [Teixeira] and Wieger Van Wageningen’s parts, but didn’t understand the Ray Barbee part, for instance. Getting older and looking back, his footage is amazing. It’s nice how your vision of skating continues to change.
So when it came to picking a video for this Mind Field was an easy first thought?
It was very easy. I like a lot of other videos too, but Mind Field is the whole package. It came out in 2009, but I can watch it now, and it’s still amazing. I used to also watch the Stereo videos a lot, A Visual Sound and Tincan Folklore, I would watch Blind Video Days a lot too. With those videos, I would watch specific parts, but with Mind Field I feel I could watch the whole thing; some parts I might skip because I don’t like them as much, but I mostly watch it in its entirety.
Have any parts been more influential than others?
Of course, Heath Kirchart, for the music, and how good that part is. To this day, though, I think Jake Johnson has one of my favourite parts of all time, skating to Animal Collective, and his trick selection. Most of the other skaters were already well known, but it seemed like he came out of nowhere so strong in that video, and to this day, it stands out for me. Jason Dill’s part had a big influence on me at that time. Grant Taylor’s part I really liked too, I like his footage from that era where he is still growing but already has so much power. The video has such a good mix, and it’s amazing, but the parts I just mentioned are ones I watch a lot. Jake Johnson’s part was ahead of the curve. It’s the same when you think of a video like Fully Flared. People back in the day paid attention to the crazy ledge tricks because they were things people hadn’t seen so much. When the video came out, people may not have understood the [Anthony] Pappalardo part or Alex Olson’s part, but years later, you realise those guys were ahead, they were thinking in a different way already.
“With this video, the way that all came together, it was a kind of awakening for me. It was a piece of art”
What tricks stand out for you?
Talking about Jake Johnson, his switch wallride over the pole was special. That was amazing. Of course, Jason Dill’s ender, the switch 180 manny-back three. One of Grant [Taylor]’s first tricks in the video stands out, actually, he rolls over these bumps, bump, bump, bump, and then a frontside fifty on a rail. I love the feeling of that clip; you look at his face, and he looks pissed, too. Without thinking too much, those are the clips that instantly come to mind.
Were there any specific take aways or things you learned because of this video?
I always try to absorb things in a way that I can maybe skate. I think this video opened my mind to skating different stuff, or maybe a different approach to skating. It doesn’t have to just be stairs, rail, rail, stairs. Not just with this video, but understanding that you don’t have to simulate anybody, or anything they are doing. Being influenced by these people but finding your own way. It’s the same way with culture, am I more European or Brazilian? I feel like travelling a lot, you become so exposed to different cultures that if you’re open to it, and you want to learn, you become a piece of all the countries you have been to, the good parts. You find a structure that works for you. I feel like with skating, it’s the same way; a lot of people influenced me at different times. This video definitely influenced me heavily to embrace things like slappies and wallrides, and find flow, I think, instead of just focusing on one hard thing. Even now, I feel like every couple of years, you change how you skate a little bit. We tend to complicate things for ourselves, so if something is becoming less challenging, you just find something else to challenge yourself with.
So it’s still something you put on now to get hyped?
Yeah, it is, and it’s still the only video I own the original copy of. I think my mum has a hard copy of Over Vert, but I don’t.
Did this video open up any musical exploration for you?
Definitely, I didn’t speak English until I was eighteen. So with most videos, I never heard any international music, so I didn’t understand the lyrics. This skate video introduced me to Dinosaur Jr, I thought the music in Omar Salazar’s part was sick, so I started digging into it more. Then I also loved the Animal Collective songs from Jake Johnson and Jason Dill’s part. Skate videos in general introduced me to most of the music I still listen to now. I don’t know how I would have found it otherwise, and I didn’t understand the lyrics. I loved that OutKast Ms. Jackson song, it’s still one of my favourite songs. I loved it since I was thirteen and heard it in the City Stars video [Street Cinema]. I only understood the lyrics when I was twenty, I was playing it and finally realised what was being said. It’s crazy now, listening to songs I know so well from being younger and understanding them properly. Skate videos opened up a whole other world for me.
Augusto Cury – The Dreamseller (2008)
Is this a recent read?
It isn’t recent, but I did watch the movie not so long ago. When I was reading the book, they hadn’t made it into a movie yet. I think I read the book when I was about twenty-seven. They made it into a Netflix movie, and I remember thinking it was crazy that they had adapted it. The book is great; it’s more detailed, but they did a good job with the movie too. César Troncoso plays the main character very well; he’s from Brazil but has a really good Spanish accent. The movie brought back the whole book for me.
Why did this book appeal to you, and how did you come across it?
My mum brought this book to me from Brazil at a time when I was trying to get more into reading books. I was finding it hard to find books that awakened my interest at the time, but this one really intrigued me, and every day I wanted to read more. I had tried other biographies and fact-filled books, but needed something with a fantasy element that kept me hooked.
What language did you read it in?
I read it in Portuguese, but the author is Brazilian.
It seems from reading about it that there are some valuable self-help takeaways applicable to our daily lives at the heart of it…
The main character is a homeless guy who everybody thinks is kind of crazy, but he is always trying to help people in different ways. People who are having mental problems or reaching their limit to the point of exploding. Something he had experienced, he is someone who chose that way of life even though he didn’t need to because he was just over society. He gave up everything, having given up on himself for a while. Then he rebuilt himself in spite of his own mental problems and began to help people with no thought of himself. There is a media element to the story, too; they make him known when he doesn’t want to be, and focus on other factors instead of the good he has been doing. It’s a metaphor for the flaws in our society and people projecting their own unhappiness.
Has this book improved your outlook on anything?
Yeah, it’s a nice book to help you rethink the way you live. I like to think a lot and enjoy talking to myself, an internal dialogue that helps make sense of the questions in your head. It depends on what cycle people are living in and what their place in society is. Most people don’t have time to think; it’s a luxury. They wake up, they live in a big city and need to make money to stay there, so your whole day is booked out with no hour to set aside for self-reflection.
“it’s a nice book to help you rethink the way you live…We live in a society geared up for productivity, but it’s not about doing good things, just how many things you can do”
This book makes you think about all of those things. We live in a society geared up for productivity, but it’s not about doing good things, just how many things you can do. People are unable to have two or three days with no schedule because they have been programmed to be productive, but that time by yourself is so valuable. Not at home with a phone and distracted, but alone with yourself for three hours, not doing anything. That’s not an easy thing to do.
This book is part of a series, have you read the others?
No, I haven’t because I don’t know there were more. When you asked me if I was selecting the series or just the first book, I looked them up, though, and I’m going to buy the others. I’m looking forward to reading them; it’s a trilogy, so there are two more for me to read.
Are you an avid reader?
No, I listen to books more nowadays. Maybe on airplanes I’ll read, I get easily distracted, so when I’m somewhere with no distractions, and I can focus, I really like to listen to audiobooks.
Do you listen in English often?
It depends. If the book is written by an English author, then I’ll listen in English; if they’re Spanish, I’ll listen in Spanish. I like to listen to them in the language they were written in. I fully recommend reading The Dreamseller. I hope people read it, and I hope they like it.
Midnight in Paris – Woody Allen (2011)
Was it hard to pick a movie or is this an all time favourite?
With everything I picked, I was easy on myself and just selected things that I really like, they’re all honestly things I think are really good and worthy of your time. This is a movie that every year or so I put on to watch again because I like how it makes me feel.
For someone well-travelled like yourself, I think these Woody Allen films make destinations you’re familiar with look incredible. This is like a picture postcard of Paris.
Yeah, it’s kind of crazy. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Paris these days, and every time I’m there, I like to bike around on my own with my headphones. I’m always imagining and trying to put myself in the movie; it would have been crazy to experience the city during the time the main character time-travels to. It would have been amazing to be in Paris in the 1920s. There are still some bars there that maybe feel like that; you can find very special places in Paris that remind me of the movie. Bars with instruments inside, where people drink and then random people pick them up and start playing, but are amazing at playing. You don’t even know who they are; they’re drinking at the table with friends, then get up and start playing the piano or the guitar, or more people start jamming with them. It feels like a concert, but they don’t know each other.
Owen Wilson’s character in this film is funny; he has some good lines.
Haha, he does. The whole movie has two worlds clashing all the time. Our minds clash, of course, with other people, but it also happens a lot that our minds clash with ourselves. It’s a nice metaphor for doing what you want to do rather than just sitting where you feel you’re supposed to sit. The beauty of the film is Owen Wilson’s character trying to balance something that can’t be balanced, two things that are so far apart that you have to choose one.
He is also in love with a fantasy, an obsession with living in a city that he has created in his own mind.
It is a fantasy, but for him it’s real. He wants to write his book and live in Paris, but living in a city is definitely different from when you’re just visiting. So it is a fantasy in one way, but I think a lot of things that become real start with a fantasy. Of course, it’s not easy to just move around and do whatever you fantasise about, but when it comes to moving to different cities for a time, I feel like I would regret it later in life if I didn’t try to do it. Trying it is okay, if it doesn’t work, you go back to where you began, but I would prefer to try and know I had than forever have that thought in the back of my head. Everyone is different; my personality makes me go for things even if I’m not sure they will work out.
In this film, Owen Wilson’s ideal time is the 1920s, the girl he falls for is obsessed with the 1890s, and the people she meets there are romanticising the Renaissance. This ideal of a golden age and nostalgia for something unlived is an interesting human inclination.
People always think that the grass is greener on the other side. I think a lot of people have that feeling for the ’90s or maybe the 80s. From my perspective, it’s nice to have that, but to realise that the age we are living in now will be idealised by people in the future, people will realise that the 2020s were amazing. We always fantasise about what we don’t or can’t have. That’s a strong theme in the film; the characters feel they are visiting the best era, but the characters living it, and defining it, are looking further back.
“I think, although we are living in a crazy time now, it’s all we have, and we need to make the most of it”
It’s a human trait to do that, but I think, although we are living in a crazy time now, it’s all we have, and we need to make the most of it. I like the present, and even though the world is fucked up, more people are starting to wake up as a result of that instead of just listening to the TV and accepting it as reality. A little time travel would maybe be nice, though.
That being said, If you had the opportunity to time travel back to a specific period, where and when would it be?
Let me think, maybe I would just time-travel to when I was seven or eight years old and just live everything again, but knowing a little more about things. I would listen more to what my parents had to say. That’s something you learn with age. I don’t have this specific time period fantasy of a golden age, though. There’s nothing that would bring me somewhere specifically.
Are you a Woody Allen fan or is it just this movie that hit you?
I don’t really have a director I’m obsessed with; it’s just how different movies make me feel. It’s the same way with music for me. I don’t have a particular artist I’m completely into; it’s about the album and the feeling I get from it. Midnight in Paris makes me feel a way that I like.
The Head Hurts But The Heart Knows The Truth – HEADACHE (2023)
How did this album enter your life, and why does it stand out as a record to recommend?
It’s only a couple of years old, but it wasn’t too long ago that I found out about it. Rémy [Taveira] introduced me to the album, I think. My friends in Paris introduced me to it, and then I went to a Vegyn concert. After that, I was very into his albums. I’ve been listening to this specific album for six or seven months, but I’ve been listening to it a lot! It’s one of the first ones I reach for when I’m doing my things in the morning or going biking. Normally, I’m listening on my headphones; I only take them out if I go and meet someone. Everything else that I do, I do while listening to music, so this album is a good one. It’s thirty minutes long, and it makes you think a lot.
So the producer, the guy who made all the beats, is Vegyn. Where did you see him play?
I had been going to Paris a lot, as I said earlier, and I told Rémy [Taveira] I would be visiting. When I arrived, he told me that he had tickets for us to go to a concert and that I was going to like it. We went to see Vegyn the next day, and I was like “Damn, thank you!”. To see that live was amazing, it was in this underground space, it was nice, like a cave, but a big one. There were no windows; there was white smoke everywhere. The ceiling was low, and so it felt a little like you were trapped. It was a great concert.
Did he play any stuff from this album?
No, he was doing his own stuff. He does a lot of different stuff, but after that concert, I started listening to this album all the time.
The lyrics are super interesting, an AI rendition of someone else’s [Francis Hornby Clark]’s poetry.
The lyrics are crazy, haha. I like things that make me think, as I said, and with this, a lot of the lyrics are him talking to himself inside his mind. Trying to make sense of things and paying attention to the littlest things. If you’re crossing the street and someone looks at you weirdly, you take note of that but keep your day going. Your brain is wondering why they did, but you don’t have the answer, and you carry on. This is an account of all of those types of thoughts, the kind that are there for a few minutes before another one takes over.
“Normally, I’m listening on my headphones; I only take them out if I go and meet someone. Everything else that I do, I do while listening to music, so this album is a good one”
It reminded me of this Blue Jam record, a British comedian called Chris Morris made.
I’ll make a note of that and check it out. I’ll try to listen to it.
Do you listen to other music that sounds like this album, or does this sound completely different from other stuff you usually listen to?
It’s very hard to find something like this, I think. I listen to other ambient stuff without lyrics, some older hip hop. I listen to a lot of funk and hip hop from Brazil, too. Besides that, I listen to a lot of corridos tumbados, a style of music from Latin America. My ear doesn’t really like too much hard stuff.
Can you tell us what you like about the narrator on the album?
The beats and background sounds are relaxing and super mellow, while the lyrics are the opposite of that sometimes. It’s very dark, and there’s a lot of fighting going on inside the mind, so I like the clash of both. They go very well together. The poetry element is nice and goes with the slow pace of the music. Sometimes you can forget about how deep and dark the lyrics are because of the music, then on other days you focus in on what is being said, forget about the background, and it’s a different experience. It depends on what mood you are in on the day. There are definitely some days when I won’t put that record on, haha.
So this is an album you like to play through from start to finish?
Yeah, this is a very easy one for me to listen to all the way through. Another one that is similar for me in that way, but a different genre, is an album called Victory Music by RealYungPhil. They are both short albums that I like to listen to as a whole.
I have good news for you, I discovered this morning that there is a new Headache album that was released today called Thank You for Almost Everything.
No way! I just saw it! Thirty-six minutes, I am definitely going to hear that one today on my bike ride later on. Wow, hopefully it’s as good as the other one.
Village PM’s “The Second I Saw You” video that Thaynan recently visited London to premiere
Thanks for taking the time for this. What’s new in your world? Do you have any upcoming projects you’re excited about?
Right now, I feel as if I have only just got home to Lisbon. I have been travelling a lot for these past four months, and I’m a little tired from that, so it’s nice being home and focusing on maintaining my body. Eating well, sleeping well, and exercising. Besides that, we are filming for a new Yardsale video, so everyone is concentrating on that. We have also started filming another video for Village PM. The second video will be out by the time this interview goes out, too. I’m excited to work on that. I’m going to stay home and film for those projects. I’ll be planning a few things for the winter and just skating.
Does filming for the Yardsale video, and filming for Village PM mean filming on home turf or trips?
For Yardsale, there will be more trips, but I always like to film at home because I can think about it more. On trips, it really depends on where we are. If it’s somewhere I’m very excited to skate, it’s easier, but when I’m somewhere less inspiring, I lose the desire to skate as much. With Village PM, I think I will spend most of the time working on the next video at home. I just went to Serbia with Yardsale a couple of weeks ago, which was nice, we were filming a lot of 16mm, and the whole crew came on that one. I will go back to Paris when the weather is better; it’s not such a good time of year to visit there. I will be travelling to London again then too.
Have there been a lot of modelling opportunities arising lately?
They will be starting more again around now, and also at the beginning of next year. I like doing that, I really enjoy it. It’s nice to have the opportunity to be in a different world. I’m very interested in creative direction, photography, and how they make this stuff. When I go and do those jobs, I talk to everybody, it’s very interesting to me because I am not from that world. People carry themselves slightly differently. I go there to enjoy myself and meet people if they’re nice. I think if you go there with an open mind, you can meet a lot of nice people. The modelling season will be starting soon, I never know exactly when, though, it always comes out of nowhere.
It’s incredible to be interviewing you in your third language. From your time in America during the enjoi years to spending a lot of time with the Yardsale crew. Where do you think your command of the English language improved the most?
I moved out to Louie [Barletta]’s house when I was seventeen, and I lived there for about three years on and off. That was when Louie lived with Zack Wallin, and they both took my English studies very seriously. That’s where I learned the basics; it was the beginning. I have definitely improved since, I know more words now, so I can speak more deeply with people. Before, I just knew enough to get around, but now I can have a full conversation like we’re doing now. Some things I don’t know how to say, but we can get there, you know? I think both crews have added weight to my learning. Personally, I really enjoy the British accent. A lot of the music I listen to now is English, and a lot of my friends who I talk to regularly are from the UK too. I hope that my accents veers more towards the British side of things, one day I’ll get there. In ten years’ time I’ll get there.
Has Lisbon provided you with any new spots recently?
There are always new spots here, but I mostly skate the same spots. If I’m with Didrik [Galasso] or somebody who wants to drive out and skate other stuff, I’ll go with them. Mostly though, I prefer to just go to the centre, to plazas, and to the DIY. When I want to film, sometimes the filmers are not too hyped because it’s the same place. They’ll ask, “you really want to go there again?”, and I’ll say, “Yeah, are you down?”. Hahaha. I’m trying to find new spots and travel to different places, though.

Do you have a favourite UK spot?
What’s funny is that when I go to London, we are filming, so it’s mostly travelling to different spots. But I enjoy skating Mile End for a mellow skate, and I also really like that manny pad outside the pub in New Cross. I had some nice sessions there. I went to Finsbury Park not so long ago; that skatepark is nice too. When there aren’t many people there, I also like to skate Southbank late at night.
Do you have a favourite UK skater?
There are a bunch, so one is hard. I would say I love to watch Kyle [Wilson] skating; he is pretty amazing, and he is a lovely person too, so that is a plus. Alex [Hatfield], I love to see his skating, and he has refreshed my mind a lot, too. I also love Lucien [Clarke]’s skating, it is very pleasing to my eyes.
How was the trip to London, touring the second Village video?
It was super nice. Now that I have been going to London more regularly, I have a new crew of friends and people who I want to see when I get there. So it was nice to see everyone, and nice that they all pulled up for the premiere too. It wasn’t raining, which always helps; it was good weather for those two days. It’s also always nice to premiere a video somewhere that you’re not from, and where you’re friends aren’t from, so you can see how people react, how they feel about the video or the brand. It was a nice thing to be in London and have that premiere at Slam City Skates.
Were you surprised by how well received the shoes have been?
Yeah, I’m very happy actually. Maybe I was surprised because you never know, skaters can be very picky about things, people hate more than they like. I had been talking to Basile [Lapray] and Bram [De Cleen] before there were even physical shoes; they were just a project on the computer. Basile has a very unique and beautiful way to design shoes, so I trusted him and Bram a lot from the very beginning. When they came out, and I saw people skating them, it was amazing. Even skaters who I thought would never be into the shoes have tried them and really liked them. Now I have been seeing a lot on the streets, walking in Paris, I have seen people wearing them who aren’t skaters, people who just like the aesthetics of the shoes. If I weren’t involved and I saw those shoes for the first time, I would think they’re amazing too. So I was surprised in a good way, and I’m happy with how things are progressing.
It must be nice to be part of something new from the beginning.
It is. I really like that it’s a small group of people involved in the project. Everybody is on the same page, down to the things we like to skate; we are all very connected. I think that also brings a different organic energy to what you put out there.
“Even skaters who I thought would never be into the shoes have tried them and really liked them”

What is your favourite thing about the 1PM model? Can you tell us a specific trick they have directly improved?
I don’t think I can land on a specific trick. But one thing is that for years I found it hard to skate in a shoe and then walk in the same shoe afterwards without my feet hurting. That’s the main thing they have changed for me when it comes to skating. The 1PM really works for me because of its structure, but both models keep my day going. They’re both good to walk in after skating, too; they offer comfort that other shoes don’t. The form of the shoes means my toes are more open, they’re less confined. The toe of the shoe is pointed on the outside, where it needs to be, but not inside.
So your travels will be bringing you back to the shop soon?
Of course, the next time I’m in London, I will definitely be stopping by. I really like that whole area.
We look forward to seeing you. Any last words?
Thank you for having me, and thanks for the opportunity to do this interview. I hope I wasn’t too difficult to understand.
We want to thank Thaynan for visiting and for taking time to speak to us for this. We recommend following: Thaynan Costa, Village PM, and Yardsale on Instagram for more high-grade skateboarding updates.
