Does John Textor have any other hidden talents? The American businessman, owner of several football clubs including Olympique Lyonnais, Crystal Palace and Botafogo, is comfortable with skateboarding. He demonstrated it on Saturday during the fourth edition of a surf festival in Saquarema, a coastal town in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Festival which, in addition to surfing, now offers a skateboard competition and concerts.
Alongside Pedro Vita, a 14-year-old Brazilian skateboarding prodigy, John Textor donned a red helmet and took to the ramp to the applause of spectators, reports Globo media. Without trembling, the director of the Eagle Football Group also achieved an improbable top, spinning around with his board. To be shown in all skate parks around the world.
