Sergio Galarza ” Tetio” was ( and still is, cause this is forever ) a member of Choncordia, we Skated together most of the 90’s and we cultivated a very good friendship. We came together to USA a long time ago but we went separate ways when I decided to stay here and he decided to move to Spain, I consider him not only a good friend but also a great Skateboarder (even tho he says that he never perfected his technique). Sergio sent me a message a couple months ago with a video of a little Ripper from Peru, his name was Gonzalo Morales, he told me to watch the video cause the Kid was super good. I think that Style matters and it always will, I rather watch an Ollie gracefully done with Style than a difficult trick done with none. Thats the first thing that caught my attention about the kid, He has an style that I wish I have and he breathes Skateboarding in every trick he lands; even tho he is only 5 years old and the board is almost as tall as him he manages to control that board with surprising ease and power, I’ve seen this before in another tiny ripper who grew up to be one of the best Skateboarders in Peru, Peter Chlebowski. Gonzo has a natural talent that not a lot of people have and Im very happy to announce officially that he is now part of the Choncordia Family. Gonzo will grow into his 8.25 Boards and Im sure people will hear and see more of him in the years to come; Sergio definitely has an eye for talent. THE FUTURE IS NOW, Welcome to the Family Gonzo :).
