Introduction words by Tom Moyse:

"I’m a huge fan of Seba’s skating, what he and his skating represents and what they both give back to skating on the whole. He brings a unique vision and relationships to skating and the streets. He gives a new and important level of exposure to South American skating normally dominated by the USA, Europe and Asia. He shines a light and offers insight into his world but also inspires those living there, showing people the possibilities and altering the gap in mentality.

I was honoured to have Seba in the Community Cup Invitational, and delighted he was so enthusiastic about the opportunity. I knew he offered something completely different to the other skaters. Every skater in the CCI had a bit of their own lane, which is part of why they stand out - but Seba is at the extremes of that. It’s a unique approach to skating with a captivating energy - a word often used to describe his skating along with words like raw, raucous, fast, creative. His skating has kind of jazz-like flow deeply connected to his surroundings, which in a lot of cases are really challenging surroundings. His skating is organic and authentic, it’s not affected by any trends and I think it speaks directly to the essence of rollerblading. There is no real rules or absolutes, it’s about freedom and expressing yourself. When I seen he had a new piece premiering at the first Fugazzesions in Argentina I reached out to see if he wanted to collaborate on the project. The video, the vision, the journey were all beyond my expectations and it’s something I’m very privileged to host with him. Enjoy"
