IntoFREEDOM footage

 I met the guys of the Intofreedom crew and I can say they are pushing a lot the skate scene in Verona! That huge skatepark with the blue manual pads is their daily spot, and they're going to build other diy ramps! check their blog and see more footage about the guys!

Bye bye Verona

 Yes! I'm going back to Sicily tomorrow! So happy to see my family again, so sad that I'll leave Alexandra here :( I know that Mizurov is not no more on Osiris so to remember him I'll throw on a electric cable, this pair of shoes he gave me on his Sicily trip in the far 2010 ehe. Thanks man I appreciated that! Your board is still on my wall!

 

This afternoon, I was talking with a friend of mine about how he is living in London in the last months.. I' m getting so hyped to move my ass there as well, for 2 reason; because is a huge city where would be better to work instead of living in Sicily (just little harder to find a job here) and for the rad spots that you can skate everyday! I love see these videos filmed entirely at night in London! Hype!

DIY Backyard

 How sick is this backyard bowl? It's amazing what a crew of skateboarders can do. I think it's quite hard at the beginning, but when you start to create simple things like little banks, bumps and other stuff, you will learn.

Gravette

                                                                                    How rad is David Gravette? I love the way he skates tranny stuffs, I also want to learn how to skate on those bowls too! If you don't know who is this guy, watch also this part!                                                                                                                                                                

Catania night session #2

Hi guys how's going? It has been raining here for days, so bad. Today, we had lunch with the new Ale's flatmate, I love that girl is so funny, ehe. I showed her this video. This was the second clip we filmed after "Night sessions with the homies".. The video is quite longer than the first one, there were so many funny situations with the people that was wrong to don't put them on it :) In the middle of the video, there is a part where we skate in the city rail station. After few hours of skate session the cops came to kick us out. They  were friendly with us tough and they didn't fine us; instead they wanted to see us skate in the station! aha crazy. Also the local TV talked about that, hope the cops haven't lost their job for their goodness. The video was filmed in winter 2011 before my injury. Enjoy!

My Milan experience!

                                   
I'm so happy I went to Milan last weekend! Before going there, Some friends of mine told me that was a bad city, grey weather and boring,with not so many spot to skate. What to say, if you don't go you will never know! So when my girlfriend Alexandra told me if I would go there to see our friends, I was down!
I went in 2 different skateparks! The first one was the Lambro Bowl that is one of the oldest bowl in Milan.

 After I went to another skatepark that seemed sketchy but it was cool tough! The bowl was very deep, I've never skated something like that before! It was very hard to just push and get speed, ehe.

 In the night we went to a sick party called "TILT" with our friend Matteo. When we heard that an electro group "Belzebass" was coming for a live we were so stoked because Alexandra love them. If you like electro music listen this song (click the word "song" for the link) :D. When we got to the disco, everyone was painted with blood, and they painted us as well! aha crazy, here is the pic!

Me Alexandra and Matteo!

After this wild night  we came out from the pub at about 3, and when we knew that the next bus was at 6:00 AM I told to Alexandra and Matteo to sleep at the airport and then catch the bus, but we weren't alone..

That  guy broke the main entrance door to enter and sleep ahah! Don't know if he caught the bus with us.. Initially we were so scared when we saw him, but he slept for the whole night without snore ahah. The second day we went again to Lambro! I'm psyched about that bowl is so tranquil and it's also in the middle of the green, cool place and good people! After the sesh Matteo told me to go up the hill to see the Milan skyline and Alexandra took cool photos!

Me and Ale, I think one of the best photo that we ever had :)

It was an amazing weekend, I had a lot of fun, next time I'll be back and I want to skate again those skateparks! :)

Mindfield

Wow.How good is mind field? I love this skate video, It's one of my favourites! Parts are awesome, especially Tyler Bledsoe's one, and the soundtrack is super sick, I love Dinosaur's JR songs, in the video,  Mikey Taylor has Crumble,Listen it! So sad I couldn't be when They did a live in Catania, but at the time I had to catch a flight the same day for a school trip in Egland, super bummer! Next time I have to go to their concert ehe
Enjoy :)

Night session with the homies!

Hi guys! Today I want to show you this clip came out before my injury.
I remember when Mauro told me that he bought the flash, he was hyped to film our night sessions, everything was shot in a night. It was fun to just push and cruise around the city with my friends Biagio Adriano and Mauro. When i showed this video to my friends and my schoolmates were impressed because that in the video doesn't seem like Catania city! Maybe because the real scenes you can see in Catania' s streets are the busy roads full of cars and scooters going fast as hell aha, and not those empty streets with skaters shredding them aha! So many good memories! .

 i miss those times..

Fallen Team in Sicily!

The fallen Sicily tour video is out check it!
In the last years, Sicily became famous for its spots, the good weather, and skate teams are still coming here, I'm so happy about that because when they get here they are impressed about the food, they think is so cheap! I'm usually a spot guide that brings the teams to the spots around Catania, I also met the Etnies Europe team, like 5 years ago! last time I brought skaters around was on february; I was with some German skaters that were on tour for a week, Pascal Reif, Philipp and Willow came here for the second time,because they know that there are so many good spots! When the footage will come out I'll post it!

Evan smith is now pro!

 Today I woke up with the fever! So I'm looking on youtube some clip that make me feel better, ahah.
This was the first post I saw when I logged on facebook, Evan Smith is the man! Love the way he skates, his style is unique, it's like a mix of tech and simple street stuff, very fast skating.. is amazing! I was impressed about the line 2:15 in the famous Berlin spot! nosebonk and then 5050 into that kind of wheelchair access! A lot of clips were filmed in Bangkok, America and Berlin, so many famous spots! I've always wanted to do skate trips, I hope one day to go to California, the place where skateboarding started! Who knows, maybe one day I'll go there.

An year without skateboarding

The title explains everything,before start uploading posts about my life,friends and skateboarding, I want to explain what happened to me in the last year. So the 2th January 2013 I was with my friends around Catania to film and shoot photos; everything was great while a friend of mine,Ale, was hyped to film a trick on the green ledges spot in Catania.When we got to the spot he understood it wasn't possible, because the landing was quite rough and the ledges were a little bit in downhill. Last time, I don't remember when exactly, maybe it was summer, I went there trying to get a 5050 on that ledge but I didn't make it. So when I heard Ale that he wouldn't skate that spot I've got psyched to skate it and film the trick.I was so hyped! After few tries i was on that ledge trying to land it, Adriano and all the other guys were supporting me and even if the slams were hurting, I continued! I've really stucked once, but few tries after I rolled my knee very badly. I had a strange sensation,the guys got scared  and called the ambulance but before they came, while I was checking if my knee was right, my bone slided off, like there wasn't anything that was fixing it. The ambulance took me to the hospital to put a cast on my leg. One month after I did a magnetic resonance and they told me that my cruciate ligament was broken and i had to have a surgery. 

After 3 months I had the surgery but I didn't work on the rehab as much as I should have done,and I've also started skating too early (2 months after) I know I'm stupid but it's everything for me, I feel so bad when I don't skate! I should be more patient! Next month I'll move back to Sicily so is the best time to start everything again and do all the things correctly!

Stay tuned to my blog I'll tell you what will happen! 

This video is about that day, everything was filmed, unfortunately :)

Skateordie!

CutCruizr project

I've never met Davide Cattaneo but this project he made looks so sick!

Cruisers are the best way to move from your house to a spot,unless you don't live in California you will need it to skate on the rough streets!

Go check it and support the Italian scene!
