Welcome to **Off Topic** A new series where we ask bladers a bunch of intrusive questions to find out more about what they’re up to and how they spend their time off skates. This time we’re clocking in with Brazilian blading sensation Nicoly Machaddo!

* * * *

What are you listening to right now?
“Flash” by MC Caverinha and Wall Hein, the song from my pro model video… It’s one of my favorites because I was listening to it when I did the biggest handrail I’ve ever done. It’s a Brazilian song, and the lyrics talk about effort, about giving your best…

Got a slam clip we can share?

How about a clip no one has ever seen?

Know any interesting Instagram accounts to follow?
@judithivorra_roller She’s so young, but you can see the desire she has to perform! That’s the point I admire most in a skater because I believe that’s the purpose of our sport. Do it with love and fun.

Got any book recommendations?
I opened this book curious to know what it would teach about controversial and delicate subjects like fame and money… I was impressed by the perspective it brings to these topics. It has helped me a lot to become more conscious and be in the “present” moment!

Fav pics in your camera roll?
These are important moments in my career and feature people who support me. They are: When I became world champion; set up at my clothing brand’s first booth; and filming my pro model video.

Best Youtube rabbit holes?
Felipe Zambardino “Mete A Mala Vol. 6”
Jeff Stockwell “Killerboots” section
Nils Jansons “Nekurzeme” from 2006
Kaya Turski “Road To Nowhere”

These are my favorites. These videos represent the essence of aggressive skating!

Something that gets you hyped?
Eating foods I love and skating until I can’t anymore! Hahaha! Best feelings in life!
