One of the first things one can realize about skateboarding is that there are a lot of amazing people out in the world that can do it. This is all a current opinion about people in professional skating right now. We would like to take this time to show recognition for Nike Skateboarding athlete, Mathias Torres. Born 1995, in Santiago, Chile.
Torres is showing some serious growth in the skateboarding. His videos off of Nike’s youtube channel are very impressive. Mathias is known as of now considered a street style rider. Torres is currently sponsored by Nike sb, and Element Skateboards.
After watching many clips by Torres, one can really begin to appreciate a decently smooth surface. Torres has a lot of clips of him hitting very steep and sketchy terrain. Torres skates a series of stair sets, rails, and bombing uneven grounds. Fear and anxiety is what some may experience while they’re watching Mathias. The skateboard is taken to places that it shouldn’t be, and it is done in a simple fashion.
According to theboardr.com, Torres has a global overall ranking of 702. His overall street rank is 427, with 1,019 overall points. His current ranking is at 116, with 155 current year points. In the 2019-2020 Rey de Reyes Street qualifier he has placed in the top 10th position six times. Rey de Reyes is a competition in the country of South American country, Chile. Mathias has made an incredible jump in his game recently. Now just a reminder that everything is on halt as a result of COVID-19. It will be interesting to see what happens once the pandemic is over.
