We always knew that skateboarding was born in the 50’s in California by surfers moving on the city sidewalks… what if we suddenly realize that in the Nazi Germany of 1943, Goebbels’ son was using something really similar to what we ride today?

In this video documentary of National Geographic that recently went public on the italian television a skateboard is shown, with tail, trucks, wheels and a proto-ramp for dropping in. Dogtown leftover?

As anticipated, here’s the freshly published video report of the visit Daniele Galli & co. paid to the DC Embassy of Barcellona. Enjoy!

Last night on the I soliti ignoti tv show, aired by the first italian channel RAI1 we saw Marco Lambertucci… check out the video!

Dave Shamblin, filmer  from West Virginia, went to visit Lupi in Barcelona and they thought they might as well pay a visit to us in Milan.
Dave had met Lupi and the other Lazy Riders during their Florida trip a few years back.

Our friend, with the help of Jacopo Tardito, made this little video report of the vist that features Lupi and the streets of Milan and Barcelona.
