This videoreport of the Affiliate Skateboards tour in Puerto Rico was recently published on the Transworld Skateboarding website. I had the honor to be part of the crew..
With much pleasure on my side my pictures and lifestyle footage were used in the montage… I feel a little bit of a filmer too now (no offense to real ones)!
The second Marcin Memorial Day will take place on sunday, May 8th at the Cinecittà Skatepark in via Pasquale Stabilini 1, Rome.
The day is an occasion for rembembering our friend Marcin Solecki, who left us prematurely on May 14th 2010, in the best way we know: skating and spending a good day out altogether.
Goodbye Marcin!
Still curled up in my bed sheets i get up to the hubble-bubbling of the classic labour day demonstration marching beneath my window, followed by another group in which i glimpse a palestinian flag, but the language spoken over the speakers doesn’t help me and my neighbour in understanding what it is exactly about…
After snapping a picture of the demonstration, i jet to the Lambro where we gather for heading to the Polaresco bowl in Bergamo.
So we sail with Amen and the Giordano bros; we meet there with Galli, Cattaneo and Formenti, along with a few locals and Bergum.
We then go to the Creedence Skatepark in Castrezzato, near Brescia, where we see a big party going on, picnic tables and good food, kids playing in the open fields, flea market, and the sweet transitions built by Seba Rossi, Kendall & co.
The park is genuinely fun, and the guys are already working to expand; a really good vibe with a great party for labour day, topped off with the night concert, which unfortunately we could not attend.
Thanks Creedence boys, see you next time!
A hard working crew gathered on Saturday night in order to build a concrete fixed ledge at the Lambro Skatepark.
Cohesive teamwork gave the desired result in a short time, although i didn’t do much with the excuse of documenting the whole op.
Thanks to everybody present on Saturday now even an invetered, and moroned, streeter like me will have his piece of heaven at the Lambro park.
And, who knows, in between a tailslide and a k grind i might finally drop into those, for me, long dreaded transitions…
Thanks and thanks again, here is my contribution with this little photo report.
Edo Paris, experienced scrutator of the milan suburban areas, calls me telling me he has found a juicy spot for a photo in his upcoming 6:00AM interview, on which we are currently working.
We meet up with the Giordano Bros, and the first real day of spring assists us flawlessly. Everyone goes home with the job done.
While Edo, as a 007, raises curiosity around the new spot on his facebook page, i’m feeling WikiLeaks enough today to expose this fat kickflip signed by Nicola Giordano.
Enjoy springtime everybody!
Daniele Galli, during a physio session in his homeland, Valtellina. Very few know that frontside feeble grinds on elevator round bars are the best cure for recovering from a recent surgery with pins in your foot.
Unless you can get ahold of high grade kriptonite (and believe me it’s hard to find), it’s not easy to keep Danny away from skateboarding.
A nice interview with Daniele Galli just came out on the abriefglance front blog. Daniele tells us how he’s recovering from last winter’s injury, about his job at the Trinity Skatepark and unveals some plans for the future, all of this enriched by some nice flicks by Davide Biondani and topped off with this Danny and friends video part, that summarizes some of his 2010 skateboarding.
Danny, who’s a real superhero, has already been skating for a couple of months despite his surgery in November, and i’m pretty sure that summer 2011 will see him shred many sessions.

I love skating trees and gas stations… i live in the costant struggle in between nature (trees), and environmental devastation (gas stations)…
Jonathan Levin
I’ve been wanting to review here Jonathan Levin’s blog for quite some time now, but wanting to do it properly, i was looking for this old picture that, in my opinion, well portrays his personality.
The site’s name is Roma Bisboccia and it documents (with videos) the skateboarding adventures of Jonny and his pals Ale Martoriati, Papik Rossi, Nico Cimini and Mirai Pulvirenti dealing with Rome, romanity, romans, traffic, sketchy pavement, trees and gas stations.
I visit the site as often as i can, always hoping in the release of a new video gem…
