As a kid, Diego always sought adrenaline and adventure, whether he was day-dreaming of being a F1 driver or ski jumping off cliffs. It was only as a teenager that he found a calling in downhill skateboarding, and a dream to become the world’s best. After years of battling against the elite on the international circuit, his dream came true as he was crowned champion in 2022 and 2023.

In 2024, Diego bridged his passion for skateboarding with that of filmmaking and directed his first short-film, ‘Tem’, a high-speed homage to friendship.

His sights are now set on making a documentary about beating the skateboarding speed record, 146.73 km/h. This project aims to explore the human side behind this unique sport to tell a story yet untold.
