QUICK TALK! # 30, NUNO OLIVEIRA

July 02, 2009 @ 11:21 AM - Paulo's Portugese

This time the Quick Talk! Is with Nuno Oliveira from Defgrip, Odyssey and olivejuuuuice. He is connected with Portugal by blood / family (coincidence, we have the same family name: Oliveira!). Has a Luso-Descendent with recognized and succeed work in the BMX world, I’ve thought that would be good to do this little interview with him! Thanks Nuno for your answers! Espero que um dia nos venhas visitar.

«Defgrip is a website that was brought to life to motivate and inspire a small group of friends. Over the years the audience has grown from small group of close friends to a world wide scale, but the message has not changed. Our goal is to share with the world what inspires us on a daily basis, while creating original content in hopes of inspiring others.
The home page is where we share our daily links while the rest of the site is broken up into different original features. Our goal is to create as much original content as possible, showcasing our friends, mentors, and collaborators work while elevating the content to our fullest potential.
What was once a side project, has turned into a lifestyle. While most of us spend our days focusing on our own work, Defgrip is what brings us together in our free time. We have not only created a community online, we have created life long friendships – and that’s what makes Defgrip stand out from the rest!» Taken from the Defgrip website.
