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!
