BB Imagine Skate Tour acontece entre os dias 18 e 20 em Niterói e vai contar com shows gratuitos das bandas Titãs e Oriente

O evento vai levar para a cidade uma verdadeira imersão na cultura do skate, além de arte, tecnologia e diversão em projeto itinerante. A entrada é gratuita.

Em comemoração aos seus 449 anos, Niterói vai receber entre os dias 18 e 20 de novembro o BB Imagine Skate Tour .

O evento nasceu de uma parceria inédita entre o Banco do Brasil e o Instituto Skate Cuida e tem como objetivo difundir a cultura do skate, além de inspirar, educar e transformar através de ações sociais e culturais.

Na programação, estão previstas competições com direito a premiação total de R$100 mil e mais prêmios em NFTs, além de exposições, oficinas, palestras, food trucks e os shows , na sexta (18), com as bandas Oriente (19h) e Titãs (21h) .

Toda a programação é gratuita e vai acontecer na praia de São Francisco. 

Durante os 3 dias de evento, serão oferecidas aulas gratuitas de skate para pessoas de todas as idades, na mini ramp montada na Praça José Martí, e uma área de games.

Chamada de Game Box , ela vai funcionar ao lado da pista de skate, com 10 estações gamers. Quem tiver interesse em jogar, basta entrar com o QR Code, que ficará disponível na porta. 

Essa será a primeira aterrissagem do Imagine Skate Tour no estado do Rio de Janeiro.

Bob Burnquist, presidente do Instituto Skate Cuida, comemora a chegada do projeto em Niterói: “Vamos celebrar a arte de andar de skate! Inspirar skatistas e o público com a mágica e energia criativa do skate, que vai muito além do aspecto esportivo que veio à tona com as Olimpíadas. Tudo isso de forma inclusiva, diversa, gratuita e sustentável”, afirma. 

Niterói também foi o local escolhido para fomentar a responsabilidade social , que é um dos pilares do IST.

Ações como qualificação de jovens com aulas de T.I., aulas de skate para crianças , distribuição de skate e equipamentos, bate-papos com skatistas profissionais e profissionais do skate, ações de acessibilidade e inclusão de para-skatistas tornam o IST uma potente ferramenta de transformação social.

Em Niterói, o Parque Esportivo e Social do Caramujo – PESC, foi o local escolhido para receber os projetos sociais do Instituto Skate Cuida. “Teremos um Núcleo do ISC atuando por 01 ano no PESC, atendendo as crianças e os jovens do Caramujo”, afirma Bill Aquino, vice-presidente do ISC.

Após Niterói, Bob pretende seguir para outras cidades do país. O seu meio de locomoção será através da Van Skate Cuida , um veículo que também é um obstáculo móvel idealizado por Bob para o projeto.

A van foi especialmente customizada com rampas e corrimãos, ateliê de artes, área de games e equipada para levar a cultura do skate com conectividade por onde passa.

Bob Burnquist abre turnê em festival imersivo em Niterói com a banda Titãs

O skatista Bob Burnquist abre nesta sexta-feira, 18, a turnê BB Imagine Skate Tour, na praia de São Francisco em Niterói (RJ), um projeto em formato de festival itinerante onde se propõe uma imersão na cultura skate ao conectar arte, educação e diversão em torno de uma van que pretende percorrer várias partes do país.

O evento celebra 449 anos da cidade de Niterói e terá a apresentação da banda Titãs e do grupo Oriente nesta sexta-feira, em uma programação que inclui shows, exposições, oficinas e palestras sobre temas como tecnologia, inovação, sustentabilidade e cidadania.

O nome escolhido Imagine Skate Tour, é uma abreviação das três últimas letras do seu sobrenome - Burnquist, e que tem na Van Skate Cuida um dos seus principais diferenciais, pois é um veículo que suporta em sua parte superior uma rampa em formato convexo além de oferecer ateliê de artes e games para o público.

Durante os três dias irá oferecer competições livres de skate no formato Cash for Tricks (dinheiro por manobras) e Jam Session e irá contar com a atual campeã brasileira de skate vertical Raicca Ventura, do skatista Biano Bianchin e do paraskatista Felipe Nunes que fazem parte do Squad BB junto com os ídolos Bob Burnquist e Rayssa Leal, que nesta edição estará ausente devido a compromissos internacionais.

Fazem parte do esquadrão do skate de Bob, o videomaker e diretor técnico Fernando Granja, o apresentador Davison Bob, o artista Lelin Alves e o especialista em Web3 Leo Rodrigues que irá cuidar da parte de e-sports, streaming e será responsável pela nova sede do Instituto Skate Cuida no Metaverso .

Além disso, a etapa de Niterói também irá oferecer o Game Box Banco do Brasil, um espaço gratuito para gamers, grafitti e obras "skatáveis"com exposição de arte física e digital.

Para completar, Bob irá atuar por um ano no Parque Esportivo e Social do Caramujo, que irá receber os projetos sociais do Instituto Skate Cuida, que devem atender crianças e jovens da região.

Bob conta com o patrocínio do Banco do Brasil na realização do BB Imagine Skate Tour, que vai desta sexta a domingo, na Praça José Marti, na Praia de São Francisco e no Skate Park, (Estrada Leopoldo Fróes, 1956 - São Francisco, Niterói) com todas as atividades gratuitas.

All skate, no bored: We talked to Tony Hawk about his 2024 tour

At the 1999 X Games, Tony Hawk became the first skater to ever pull off a 900-degree aerial spin.

25 years later, he’s still on his board every day.

“I skated yesterday and learned a new trick,” the 55-year-old icon told the New York Post on in an exclusive interview.

However, rather than just walk the walk, Hawk also talks the talk now, too.

Along with fellow extreme pioneer and Bones Brigade member Rodney Mullen, he’s embarking on a two-show ‘ Darkslides and Secret Tapes Tour’ where the pair will stop into New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Thursday, April 4 and Austin’s Moody Theater on Sunday, April 7.

“I’ve been friends with Rodney for 40 years, and I feel like we each bring a very different perspective on our careers and our success,” Hawk explained.

“He lived on a farm in Florida and grew up skating on a concrete pad. I lived in the surf culture of Southern California and started skating because my brother was a surfer but we found ourselves with kind of the same trajectory and motivations.”

At both shows, the legendary duo will chat and share rarely seen videos.

“We have a lot of historical footage and stuff that was documented when we were kids and stuff that we didn’t realize at the time but were milestones of our sport,” Hawk said.

“You’ll see Rodney’s first kick flips, my first aerials and spins. Some of it is floating around the Internet, but you can’t find it all in one cohesive place like we’re going to show it.”

They will also answer questions from the audience.

“That’ll probably be some of the most fun stuff because it’s so spontaneous and off the cuff and we don’t have canned, rehearsed answers for what people are going to ask us.”

And while it’s not scripted Tony would love for someone to inquire about Mullen’s recent surgery.

“It’s no secret Rodney recently had a double hip replacement and he just started skating again,” Tony shared. “I want to know what he’s doing. Has he done a kick flip yet?”

Want to see Birdman and Mutt chop it up live?

We’ve got everything you need to know and more about Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen’s 2024 ‘Darkslides and Secret Tapes Tour’ below.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

A complete calendar of all tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found here:

There may be more shows if these gigs go over well.

“We’re hoping to establish this as a format and then go forward with a lot of cities,” Hawk pointed out. “This is all very much an experiment. Every time I talked to Rodney on the phone, which has been a lot in the last week, we get more excited about it. So I have a good feeling.”

While chatting, Hawk dropped a story about Mullen from long ago.

“When we were Bones Brigade rookies, Stacy Peralta lived in Santa Monica, so we would stay with him,” Hawk began. “One night, he took us out to eat in Westwood, which is where movies premiere and in the ’80s was kind of a hot spot.”

“There are street performers there,” he continued. “We parked kind of far away from the restaurant because there was no parking and we skated. Rodney started doing his usual amazing tricks. Suddenly, this huge crowd gathered around him and started leaving the other street performers to watch Rodney.”

“People started throwing money at him,” Hawk laughed. “Then, one of the street performers came over and chewed him out. That was the end of Rodney’s show.”

“We were all of 13.”

In January 2023, “White Lotus” star Aubrey Plaza hosted with musical guest Sam Smith.

Tony Hawk was there, too.

The night’s first sketch, “Miss Universe,” featured Hawk and The Property Brothers as judges in a parody of the beauty contest where they “rank women based on looks” as Kenan Thompson quipped in the sketch.

True to form, Hawk had fun with his role and screamed all his lines.

“In the original script, it was literally me saying my name,” Hawk noted. “I just went with it. During rehearsal, I improvised a new line and they loved it.”

“Lorne was like ‘we’re going to keep Tony’s new line in there.’ Next thing I know, I’ve got an extra line or two. But after that I understood how the sausage is made and how some things don’t work in rehearsals. Some things work way better because they they riff on it. And that is the that’s the beauty of ‘SNL.'”

You can catch the goofy four-minute sketch here:

Ever the renaissance man, Hawk appeared on “The Masked Singer” as well.

“They hit me up to do show and I was a little skeptical,” Hawk told us about his February 2020 stint on the show. “Then they started going through a list of potential songs and bands. I thought, ‘That would be pretty cool to sing The Cure.’ I worked with a vocal coach for a few weeks to try and nail the range of that song.”

“My dancing was not the greatest. I think that’s what shut me down. I also think that for that audience The Cure is a bit obscure. They wanted me to do ‘Born to Be Wild,’ and I had both of those in my pocket. And they wanted me to be ‘Born to Be Wild’ first because they thought it was more energetic and the dance was a little more up their alley.”

“But to my own demise, I insisted on The Cure being first.”

Below, you’ll find an unofficial video of the performance.

Outside of skating, Tony Hawk might be most well known for people asking him if he’s…Tony Hawk.

“(It happens) every day,” he chuckled. “It happened yesterday again. I stopped sharing it (on social media) because people think it’s redundant and I’m making it up. I’m just sharing the experience and I think someone will probably think this is funny.”

At coffee shop this morning:

Girl behind counter: (not joking) “has anyone told you that you look like Tony Hawk?”

Me: yes, so much that I sometimes write about it.

Her: haha, here’s your coffee

Other girl by exit: (leans toward me as I walk out): “you really do look like him”

“Now it happens almost as much in jest,” he continued. “The meme has formed a life on its own. It drives my daughter crazy if I don’t tell people it’s me. They didn’t ask.”

“It almost feels pretentious (to be) like ‘well, actually, I am.'”

If you can’t make it out to NYC or Austin there are plenty of huge shows that might be headed closer to a venue near you.

Here are just five tours we can’t wait for this year.

What to do in Moscow

Ballet at the bolshoy, cathedral of christ the saviour, drinking & nightlife, entertainment, house-museums, the museum of modern history, the new tretyakov gallery, novodevichiy convent, patriarch’s ponds, the pushkin museum of fine arts, sandunovsky baths, the tretyakov gallery.

Travel in Moscow is easier than you might think: the city’s general layout is a series of concentric circles and radial lines emanating from Red Square and the Kremlin, and the centre is compact enough to explore on foot. Moscow’s sights can also be mapped as strata of its history: the old Muscovy that Russians are eager to show; the now retro-chic Soviet-era sites such as VDNK and Lenin’s Mausoleum; and the exclusive restaurants and shopping malls that mark out the new Russia. A CityPass is a good bet if you plan on seeing several of the city's heavyweight attractions.

Despite its size, Moscow's concentric layout is easier to grasp than you'd imagine, and the city's famous metro ensures that almost everywhere of interest is within fifteen minutes' walk of a station. Red Square and the Kremlin are the historic nucleus of the city, a magnificent stage for political drama, signifying a great sweep of history that includes Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Stalin and Gorbachev. Here you'll find Lenin's Mausoleum and St Basil's Cathedral, the famous GUM department store, and the Kremlin itself, whose splendid cathedrals and Armoury Museum head the list of attractions. Immediately east of Red Square lies the Kitay-gorod, traditionally the commercial district, and originally fortified like the Kremlin. Stretches of the ramparts remain behind the Metropol and Rossiya hotels, and the medieval churches of Zaryade and the shops along Nikolskaya ulitsa may tempt you further into the quarter, where you'll find the former headquarters of the Communist Party. Take a private Kremlin tour to skip the lines for the Kremlin grounds and cathedrals.

The Kremlin and Kitay-gorod are surrounded by two quarters defined by rings of boulevards built over the original ramparts of medieval times, when Moscow's residential areas were divided into the "White Town" or Beliy Gorod, and the humbler "Earth Town" or Zemlyanoy Gorod. Situated within the leafy Boulevard Ring that encloses the Beliy Gorod are such landmarks as the Bolshoy Theatre and the Lubyanka headquarters of the secret police – with its "KGB Museum" – while the Zemlyanoy Gorod that extends to the eight-lane Garden Ring is enlivened by the trendy old and new Arbat streets, with three Stalin skyscrapers dominating the Ring itself.

Beyond this historic core Moscow is too sprawling to explore on foot. Krasnaya Presnya, Fili and the southwest describes a swathe which includes the former Russian Parliament building (known as the White House); Tolstoy's house and the Novodeviche Convent and Cemetery; Victory Park, with its war memorials and Jewish museum; and Moscow State University in the Sparrow Hills – the largest of the Stalin skyscrapers.

Across the river from the Kremlin, Zamoskvorechye and the south are the site of the old and new Tretyakov Gallery's superlative collection of Russian art. Private guided tours are recommended for art enthusiasts. Here too you'll find Gorky Park, the Donskoy and Danilov monasteries that once stood guard against the Tartars, and the romantic ex-royal estates of Tsaritsyno and Kolomenskoe – the latter known for staging folklore festivals and historical pageants.

Taganka and Zayauze, east of the centre, likewise harbour fortified monasteries – the Andronikov, Novospasskiy and Simonov – and the erstwhile noble estates of Kuskovo and Kuzminki, but the main lure for tourists is the Izmaylovo art market. Inside the Izmaylovo Kremlin, a cultural centre, there are also a range of attractions, from the Bread Museum and the Vodka History Museum to the fascinating Museum of Russian Toys.

Moscow's Northern Suburbs cover a vast area with a sprinkling of sights. Foremost is the Memorial and Museum of Cosmonautics and VDNK. For anyone interested in the glory days of the space race, and its monumental landmarks and propaganda, a visit is a must, like on this guided tour . In the vicinity are the Ostankino Palace, Moscow's Botanical Gardens and TV Tower. West from here, the Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines will appeal to visitors with an interest in Soviet social history, too.

Outside Moscow there's scope for day-excursions to the Trinity Monastery of St Sergei, the Abramtsevo artists' colony, Tchaikovsky's house in Kiln, Lenin's estate at Gorki Leninskie, and the battlefield of Borodino, where the battle is re-enacted every September. You can also head out to the village of Aksakovo for a beautiful two-hour troika ride. Further afield, the historic towns of Vladimir and Suzdal are graced by splendid cathedrals and monasteries attesting that they were the seat of a principality when Moscow was merely an encampment. Suzdal is one of the loveliest towns in Russia, and definitely merits an overnight stay. It's also possible to visit the Aviation Museum at Monino air base, en route to Vladimir, if you take the trouble to get permission ahead of time.

While Moscow's Bolshoy Ballet (also spelt "Bolshoi") is going through uncertain times, plagued by infighting and rivalries (not least the recent acid attack on Artistic Director Sergei Filin), few would deny themselves the chance to see this legendary company. During the season, evening performances start at 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday matinees at noon; there are no shows on Monday.

You can see what’s on currently and for a few months ahead on the Bolshoy’s website – although the English version sometimes lags behind the Russian one. The ballet company is usually abroad over summer and sometimes also in the autumn, leaving the junior corps de ballet to entertain visitors – although star dancers are certain to be in Moscow for the opening of the new season in September. For more on Russian ballet visit www.for-ballet-lovers-only.com . For those not interested in ballet but more in the historical aspect of the Bolshoy theatre, take a guided historic tour of the grounds.

If you're more interest in Folk Dances, visit the Kostroma Folk Dance show , the most authentic one in Moscow.

Built as a symbol of gratitude to divinity for having aided the Russians’ defeat of Napoleon in 1812, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour (daily 10am–6pm), opposite the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts at Volkhonka ul. 15, was demolished in 1931 in favour of a monument to socialism. The project was soon abandoned and years later, under Krushev’s rule, the site was turned into the world’s largest public swimming pool. In 1994 the Cathedral was rebuilt and is now a symbol of Moscow’s (and Russia’s) post-Communist religious revival.

Moscow isn’t a city that goes to bed early. Many venues act as a café by day, restaurant in the early evening, and both bar and club at night. This can cover anything from an arthouse café with a spot of live music to a dance warehouse, or a fancy nightclub with a restaurant and casino. Most cater to a certain crowd, whether it’s creative professionals, students, shell-suited "flatheads" or designer-draped models. While formal dress codes are rare, face control (feys kontrol) is widespread. Russians distinguish between “democratic” face control (aimed at keeping out hooligans and bandits), and the kind that favours the rich (never mind how they behave). It’s unwise to rile club security staff, however rude they might be.

There are scores of trendy bars and clubs on Krasny Oktyabr, a former chocolate factory building located across the river from Kropotkinskaya and now home to some of Moscow’s hippest nightlife.

Learn how to walk, talk, drink and party like a Russian on a small group with Russian spirits.

Moscow's gastronomic scene has improved enormously over the last five years, with hundreds of new cafés and restaurants offering all kinds of cuisine and surroundings, aimed at anyone with a disposable income – from mega-rich New Russians and expense-account expatriates to fashion-conscious wealthy teenagers.

For cheap eats head to a canteen, where you can compile a tray of dishes smorgasbord-style. Take advantage of the great-value business lunches offered by cafés and restaurants during the week between noon and 4pm.

For well over a century, Moscow has been one of the world’s great centres of classical music, opera and ballet, most famously represented by the Bolshoy Theatre but also by its orchestras and choirs. Theatre can be tricky for non-Russian speakers though circus and puppetry surpass the language barrier. Moscow’s film industry and annual international film festival dwarf St Petersburg’s, but at other times most cinemas screen Hollywood blockbusters.

All this can be surprisingly good value, provided you ask for the cheapest ticket available ( samiy deshoviy bilyet ).

Gorky Park on ul. Krymskiy Val 9 (R100; Park Kultury) is a large park occupying an area of over 700 acres along the river. In the winter the frozen-over paths become one of the city’s largest ice rinks, while in the summer Muscovites stroll the area savouring an ice cream.

Admirers of Bulgakov, Chekhov, Gorky and Tolstoy will find their former homes preserved as museums. Anton Chekhov lived at Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya ul. 6, in what is now the Chekhov House-Museum (Tues, Thurs & Sat 11am–6pm, Wed & Fri 2–8pm; R100, student R60; Barrikadnaya), containing humble personal effects, while the Gorky House-Museum (Wed–Sun 11am–6pm, closed last Thurs of the month; free; Arbatskaya) on the corner of Povarskaya ulitsa and ulitsa Spiridonovka is worth seeing purely for its raspberry-pink Art Nouveau decor. Leo Tolstoy admirers should head to the wonderfully preserved Tolstoy Memorial Estate on ul. Lva Tolstogo 21 (Tues, Wed & Fri 10am–6pm, Thurs 1–9pm, Sat & Sun 11am–6pm; R200, student R60; Park Kultury) where the Tolstoy family lived after moving to Moscow from their country estate in 1881, and where the novelist wrote War and Peace . The Bulgakov Museum at Bolshaya Sadovaya ul. 10 (Sun–Thurs 1–11pm, Fri & Sat until 1am; free; t 495/970-0619; Mayakovskaya), is the house where the novelist lived from 1921 to 1924. There are nightly tours (1–6am; R550; phone a week in advance for tour in English).

The Museum of Modern History at Tverskaya ul. 21 (Tues, Wed, Fri 10am–6pm, Thurs & Sat 11am–7pm, Sun 10am–5pm, closed last Fri of the month; R100; Tverskaya) brings the Communist past alive with striking displays of Soviet propaganda posters, photographs and state gifts, although there’s a frustrating lack of English translation.

Opposite the entrance to Gorky Park at Krymskiy Val 10, the New Tretyakov Gallery (Tues–Sun 10am–7.30pm; R360, student R220; Park Kultury) takes a breakneck gallop through twentieth-century Russian art, from the avant-garde of the 1910–1920s to contemporary artists. Full and illuminating commentary in English is a bonus.

A cluster of shining domes above a fortified rampart belongs to the lovely Novodevichiy Convent (daily 10am–5pm; closed Tues & last Mon of month; R150; Sportivnaya), founded by Ivan the Terrible in 1524. At its heart stands the white Cathedral of the Virgin of Smolensk. In its cemetery lie numerous famous writers, musicians and artists, including Gogol, Chekhov, Stanislavsky, Bulgakov and Shostakovich.

One of Moscow’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, Patriarch’s Ponds is a pleasant spot (there’s actually just one pond) for a summer stroll or an ice-skate on its frozen waters in the depths of winter. The area is also known for being the location of the opening scene of Mikhail Bulgakov’s magical realist novel The Master and Margarita .

Founded in 1898 in honour of the famous Russian poet, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts at Volkhonka ul. 12 (Tues–Sun 10am–7pm; R150–300, separate fee for Impressionist wing; Kropotkinskaya) holds a hefty collection of European paintings , from Italian High Renaissance works to Rembrandt, and an outstanding display of Impressionist works.

Get the city grit out of your skin at the exquisitely elaborate Sandunovsky baths (Neglinnaya ul. 14 bldg 3–7 w www.sanduny.ru ; Teatralnaya), patronized by Muscovites since 1896. Join Russian businessmen and socialites in the banya , a wooden hut heated with a furnace, where you are invited to sweat out impurities, get beaten energetically with birch twigs, and finally plunge into ice-cold water. Men’s and women’s baths are separate, with the women’s section more like a modern spa. A three-hour session costs R1000. Daily 8am–10pm.

Founded in 1892 by the financier Pavel Tretyakov, the Tretyakov Gallery at Lavrushinskiy per. 10 (Tues–Sun 10am–7.30pm; R360, student R220; Tretyakovskaya) displays an outstanding collection of pre-Revolutionary Russian art. Russian icons are magnificently displayed, and the exhibition continues through to the late nineteenth century, with the politically charged canvases of the iconic realist Ilya Repin and the Impressionist portraits of Valentin Serov, including The Girl with Peaches , one of the gallery’s masterpieces.

To see Soviet triumphalism at its most prolific, visit the Exhibition of Economic Achievements, or VDNKh (Prospekt Mira; VDNK/Prospekt Mira), with its statue upon statue of ordinary workers in heroic poses. Adding to the scene is the permanent trade-fair-cum-shopping-centre housed in the grandiose Stalinist architecture of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition of 1939, and the People’s Friendship Fountain, flanked by Soviet maidens, each symbolizing a Soviet republic. One of the most hubristic Soviet monuments ever built is the Space Obelisk , which bears witness to Soviet designs on the stratosphere. Unveiled in 1964 – three years after Gagarin orbited the earth – it’s a sculpture of a rocket blasting nearly 100m into the sky on a plume of energy clad in shining titanium. Moscow’s giant Ferris wheel, small amusement park and numerous food vendors help to create a fairground-like atmosphere. For a fantastic view over the VDNK, take the lift to the 25th floor of Hotel Cosmos across Prospekt Mira.
