DEFINE. Behind the Missions Episode 3. Carlos

On episode three of DEFINE. Behind the Missions, Carlos gives us some insight into filming his epic last part and why he wanted to focus on getting his enders early on in the filming process. We take a closer look at Miles' dynamic with Carlos and how that led to quite a few of the important filming missions for the video. Although he was happy with his part, Carlos explains how he wished he could have filmed more but was cut short due to a devastating ankle injury.

This dude’s vibe is impeccable! Crazy humble and nice human being and insanely amazing skating! I’m happy for this dude! Great work! ✊🏼

[@jimmyryder8850]

I didn't know he could get better and better. I remember seeing some footy a few years back and he was killing! Bit he's on another level now. He's in my top 5

[@MrSHaTTeReDsAniTY]

this part... the tricks the crazy intense first song... one of the best parts ive ever seen.

[@greens294]

Crazy to think what his part would have looked like if not for the injury. Knowing he stacked that much footage, and had that much time left to get more before the release. He's such a boss tho, and his Define part is probably his best to date!

[@oduttagupta]

Carlos is an absolute powerhouse, at the forefront of this generation of skaters pushing the limits of gnarly + tech.

[@MichaelBellFILMS]

Big Facts!

[@skatefan216]

Alan Hannon kills it with these videos

[@andremartinez7484]

He's definitely one of the goats. I think he's highly underrated as well. And we all know miles silvas was a child prodigy and is absolutely killing it now. I'm sure having Carlos around is such a positive thing for everyone on the team. I can't wait for Carlos and Miles' next part.

[@Plastic35789]

One of the most sophisticated skaters in history, he is just excellent

[@slimer1984]

Nothin but respect to Carlos but he needs to for reals get that ssbsnb on clipper. Crazy to even step to something like that switch

[@sebastianmayer8271]

Humbleness, positivity, limitless skill,the right work ethic, grace, and effortless style! And never forgetting where you come from and that it's about having fun with friends! He will forever have his name on the history books of skating! Well deserved

[@ryanloney3448]

Carlos is straight fire everything looks so damn good

[@flaviodoliveira]

It's always good to see Carlos skating

[@franciscotroy2180]

One of the best ever. Meant to skateboard, the Arto comparison was spot on even tho their skating is so different. The way Carlos locks into ledges is ridiculous, you cant get more perfect... But for some reason even the switch flip land fakie flip on flat without even moving his feet after the beast sw front board and the damn near waist high kickflip over that round block on flat in Dallas are two of those things that just demonstrate how on point he is on every level.

[@antondred5115]

Real high skateboarding! Carlos respect you're the man!

[@alexandrefonseca8556]

Nice human being and insanely amazing skating!

[@dadboard]

6:09 Carlos calls it a fakie nosegrind then immediately after Miles calls it fakie switch back 5/0 😂 prime example of how none of us will ever agree of certain trick names. Love this type of content 🔥

[@continueeducation7277]

Carlos was right cus he did a Fakie Ollie it’s not going to be switch no matter what you do after that

[@dadboard]

@@continueeducation7277 agreed

[@808kicks2]

Imagine rollin into clipper sw backside and just bailing a nose blunt 😮 🤯

[@solomonbacon8893]

Carlos is just next level. The switch back noseblunt is just insane. Like what and the fuck lol

[@daryldooey1]

carlos is hands down one of the greatest

[@cderzzz]

One of the greatest!

[@solidbluebrian]

One of the best! What a beast!! Respect!

[@ethandavidson72]

The best. Good stuff!

[@graden6]

Some of the best tricks ive ever seen soo beautiful man!

[@timothybellette8178]

One of the best there is!

[@78kie]

Thanks for inspiration to go skate and film tricks! Carlos and whole Primitive crew are the best!!

[@rooxg]

Love this skater !! Such a cool and sober style, aswell as great energy !

[@jeremygoddard6374]

Such a beast. One of the best doing it and so much fun to watch his style and finesse.

[@lucasmacmillanhernandez1965]

LEGEND

[@TelaPlano]

Carlos ALWAYS delivers! Demais, meu mano!

[@robertbarnhart7791]

One of the best to ever do it!

[@tomasvalve930]

Amazing style and tricks!

[@gidionesouza2561]

Such an inspiration! From Brazil to the world, you deserve it homie! 🇧🇷🇧🇷 Soon you'll be back sending much more, we (surely) need that!

[@gkorshunov81269]

So thrilling

[@heyman620]

Seeing that kickflip over the gap at 12:50 and then realizing it's a switch flip... Definitely, the biggest switch-flip trick I have seen, and it's not even the ender.

[@Joeycrisanto]

Beast Carlos also, always a fan of his skating

[@soundsbitter]

Dude the kickflip front crook pretzel is my new favorite looking truck. That shot looks so fire definitely a trick I’d love to learn

[@ohmykhailo]

his attitude got me hyped to go skate today 🙌

[@DrunkVampyre]

That last line was sick af.

[@kotokid31]

Miles part was my favorite. So many flip ins. So much switch with steeze. He went ham.

[@luizinhurm5219]

Erick videomaker is my friend long time!!! Guarulhos/SP/Brasil.

[@marvj8255]

He missed the edge of the hubba (clipper) by like 4 inches, he’s so good why he didn’t redo it

[@nonessentialoils]

I was thinking that too. The photo isn't great either.

[@continueeducation7277]

I came here for this, not one of the dudes there said anything? That was not a noseblunt..

[@tobieone4918]

I came searching for this comment. He didn’t noseblunt it. He was in the middle of the ledge. That’s why they ran the photo of him before locking in because he didn’t lock in.

[@vxshade]

@@tobieone4918 Bingo

[@djmon1987]

Someone else should do it. Switch bs noseblunt is still up for grabs if you ask me.

[@GabrielMoreira-lp8jj]

One of the best brazilian skaters out there!, humble, good vibes, style on the board, weightless on the board like a feather...dope as fuck!

[@flavioborgestv]

O Carlos e Ribeiro!! Amazing brother, greetings from Estonia

[@chesk8]

We need that 🫶🏼😜

[@swaxTV]

Your witnessing this man create his own reality

[@Benjis.Day.0ut]

Switch crook the frost rail. Insane. Carlos is too good

[@troidberg]

been watching this dude tearing since Chocolate and Converse days! that's right, most of you "Carlos fans" didn't even know he was on Chocolate and Converse

[@dovel9149]

Wasn't he on plan B flow for a while back in like 2012? His first great part was in Barcelona: A Place for Everybody video.

[@Andrew4181975]

Dude has a Rock Solid style making it look too easy. That makes a real professional at it.

[@orlandorodriguez8270]

It’s ridiculously crazy and sick what he did on clipper, but am I the only one who doesn’t consider it an actual nose blunt since he wasn’t locked in to the ledge and just slid on top

[@okayaero9525]

do u think that affected his pay

[@jimmyryder8850]

If u grew up skating when I did ( the 90s) and understand how hard this truly is yes I consider it a sw back nose blunt. I mean this is beyond insane

[@orlandorodriguez8270]

@@jimmyryder8850 I did actually. And even when they started becoming more done in the mid-90s, I still thought the same thing I thought today that if it’s not on the edge then I don’t really consider it an actual nose. And as I said already, yes the trick is ridiculously fucking crazy. Just don’t consider it a noseblunt

[@i_guixx_]

Carlos é brabo demais me inspiro muito nesse cara

[@briandenison7608]

Best dude

[@ronniebranson6946]

him and miles together they crushhhhhhh shit

[@Martinruizsb]

The best

[@argenslucasfadelpires8997]

Carlos anda Demais , manobras técnicas que fazem parecer fácil de tanta técnica e tem um pop Insano ! 🛹🛹🛹🛹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@JakeBorchenko]

Carlos is the best man

[@ryanrowe1975]

Carlos got to skating on training and building a bigger project in the next series of having enough more time to grinding the rail of making that line with consistency and timing the landing of a better adjustment on the hubba ledge.

[@vxshade]

Does that switch noseblunt really count though? Didn't lock in at all lol

[@tobieone4918]

He should do it again. That doesn’t count

[@findingnemo6669]

"We need that" instantly thought of the jah reference

[@andreornelas4397]

O mais estiloso !

[@eduardoskate]

Define impressionante

[@derrickdubois7307]

I often tell people Primitive is my absolute favorite squad hands down without a doubt and always get this face that I read as people either being questionable or severely disagreeing with my selection Which is followed by a question of why wondering what I could possibly see in that team. The answer is always that crew has something extra that other teams don't. Its a flow or style that's only present in Primitve. Every member has a special style and great trick selection. Plus none of them are strait hackers they are simply artists at work. Plus there trick selection and what tricks go down in each spot is genius.

[@twuandixon8675]

Imagine being the best skater on a team like primitive 🤯

[@dmndjonafen]

💥

[@carbonite1994]

heal strong, bro

[@progresoskateboarding3526]

thanks

[@BMTubes]

Fuck, I want a video part of just him and Miles. Watching them get absolutely buck together was so sick.

[@karldubelheimer3959]

Damn, I remember when a switch bs 50-50 on Clipper would've been an ender. He does them for warm ups XD

[@raphael_2d878]

O melhor do Brasil é o brasileiro.

[@illuminatedsoles331]

🙏🙏🙏

[@johnevans248]

he is a 🐐

[@jedlynch4820]

Can’t wait for that switch crook to go down

[@Afrikantk]

Peak.

[@kenrocker7427]

Carlos is one of my all time favorites. Humble human. Warrior. Just a genuine hood person. Amazing skateboarder with textbook landings.

[@christmasham4312]

Beat skater 🛹 on the planet IMO

[@josiahamaze]

Now I know why he's always smiling. Family.

[@tobieone4918]

He wasn’t even locked in on the noseblunt! He was way in the middle of the ledge. That shouldn’t count.

[@rollingfunskateboarding561]

Amazing🔥❤️‍🔥🔥🛹

[@continueeducation7277]

That was not a noseblunt, I was waiting for him to actually start locking in but he just took a slide on top instead. Weird! Not a thrasher cover

[@shyn0o0]

Where can I find the song at 5:37

[@vitalidadechannel]

NUMBER ONE OPERATOR BUTTER KILLER MANUVERS MAKER MY G

[@kevinkrutz924]

Gnarly as hell, but low key kinda booger slid the swbk Nblunt

[@tobieone4918]

He totally didn’t lock in. I wouldn’t count that and definitely not deserving of the cover. That’s why they used the pic of him before locking in because he never locked in.

[@mayckon.marques]

Name music 5:36 ???

[@BEEENGONE]

Am I trippin or did he learn his english threw skaters? Anyone who switch back 3s is cool to me

[@TonysbrotherMike]

Miles way to gd out with the baller ass dining room

[@autotrimmers6353]

Sw back noseblunt on THAT?!!?!?!?😅

[@user-rf8xe9jt1l]

gustavo lindo

[@illiturit1151]

8:11

[@smattachew]

How many times can you count the use of the word "Like" in this video. ... Like 🤣

[@getoffmyramp]

NOW we all know why they only used the fish angles for the sw bs noseblunt. Shit was boogered

[@tobieone4918]

Yeah he needs to do it again that shit didn’t count

[@chrisXjosi]

🛹🛹🛹

[@RonaldPilva]

Why is this 5 min video labeled as 18 min. How weird

[@boogie..]

Not trying to hate because I love Carlos and his skating but i think the clipper sw bs nose blunt could have been better. It was kinda booger.

[@tobieone4918]

Yeah that shit shouldn’t count. He slid in the middle of the ledge. Not even close to locking in

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

No offence but he didn’t lock in properly on the nose blunt

[@kevinmasfar]

No one cares about skill anymore

[@ryanmcgrath3861]

Lol
