July 18th, 2007 - Grosso Boards, Pipo Grosso, Streetboarding.com, Valentino Barbuzza. 3 CommentsWe had the chance to talk with Valentino, a.k.a Peto. This new young rider is really pushing the limits of street skating, and with virtually no coverage and isolated from the international scene he has reached a level that would surprise most Pro’s
- Alright man, for those who don’t know you, name, age and hometown.
Peto: My name is Valentina Barbuzza, Im 18 years old and I’m from Mendoza Argentina and I have been skating for four years now.
- So how did you start Streetboarding?
Peto: I started Streetboarding after I saw a TV show featuring Pipo Grosso and Diego Romero, and since then I haven’t been able to stop.
- From the pictures you sent, you skate mostly Street. What is your favorite terrain to skate?
Peto: There are no Skateparks in my city, so I skate 100% Street, and we have the best spots here, its amazing.
- Your level is really impressive, how do you push yourself to improve?
Peto: I usually skate with skaters, so my main motivation comes from Streetboard videos.
- Who are the riders that motivate you to improve?
Peto: I get a lot of my ideas and inspiration from Ismael Calvo and Nicolas Frega.
- Being isolated in a way from the international scene, what are your goals within the sport?
Peto: Well, right now I’m the Argentinian Amateur champion, so I want to start competing in the Pro division. I would also like to travel and meet all this riders I only see in videos, also I would like to get more sponsors and keep representing for Grosso.
- Alright dude, any final words?
Peto: I would like to thank my family, my girlfriend, my sponsor Grosso Boards and especially Pipo Grosso for all the support.
- Awesome dude, thanks a lot!

We really have no idea where it came from, but still its a pretty cool video.
Check it out!
Last week the South American scene had a mini ramp contest. Lots of riders showed up from all the corners of the southern continent, which made the contest one of the best so far.
The competition was tight but Pipo Grosso took 1st place, followed by Jorge Olivares in second and Eduardo Gac in third.
There were lots of skate and filming sessions after the contest, we will be updating the site constantly with the best photos from this sessions.
For now enjoy this picture of the man himself, Pipo Grosso.
Chilean Mini Ramp Contest
February 12th, 2007 - Dimension Streetboards, Grosso Boards, Nicolas Frega, Pipo Grosso, Streetboarding.com. 1 CommentFor the second year in a row, Santiago of Chile held an international mini ramp contest, which has become almost a tradition.
With riders from all over the country and a few special guests from Argentina, this contest gathers one of the best street scenes in the world together for a mini ramp jam-contest.
This contest was the second of its kind, and counted with various sponsors, supporting streetboarding in South America.
The level also has improved from previous events, showing an improvement on the ramp skills of these street riders.
The event counted with an extraordinary organization, several sponsors and good prices. Hooters sponsored the event by hooking the riders up.
By the finals the riders where throwing down hammers in order to take the prices home (hooter girls).
Overall this was a really good contest for the Chilean scene, it gave riders the opportunity to get together and organize future events and projects. Events like this show how the South American scene is slowly but firmly getting back on its feet. Stay tuned!
