You might be right Namdev… but it is a little strange that they put money into something that is clearly giving other, more reputable skate companies exposure.

I can’t figure out the full deal but this video was sponsored/produced by Converse in Brazil; its not their actual team. I.e., Alex Carolino is rocking a DC shirt + shoes because he skates for them. The best description I found on the web for this video is:
“A 2009 skate flick out of Sao Paulo, Brazil produced by Drops.tv
’15 skaters, 5 photographers, 5 videomakers and one square. Sao Paulo, Brazil’” from http://superstoker.com/2009/06/converse-square-trailers/
I think Converse just footed the bill to give some of their dudes coverage.
