Went to Milan to get drunk

Lorenzo Silvestri contributed to the mag since day one as a friend, skater and artist. We dedicated
him a few pages, including this steep wallride and that drop in which cost him a night in the
hospital, during the filming of the video “Went to Milan to get drunk” by S.Rocca

Plaza board jaunt in Rome

The cool thing about having such a diverse crew in tour in Rome is that every spot could get hit. The
eternal city’s got everything, from the most technical lines to the craziest creative stuff, from the
roughest flats to the juiciest marble. All you need is flow and follow the Tiber.

Gets your hands dirty at Ponte DIY

If you don’t have opportunities, create your own, and if you don’t have a spot, just build it yourself.
Skaters are masters at this and DIY is proof. In recent years, Siraj Ahmad has given a serious boost
to the Ponte della Musica DIY scene, designing the structures and getting his hands dirty.

Polish origin, raised in Holland and living in England, this cultural variety is reflected in Adam Kush’s photography, which ranges from skateboarding to reportage, street to landscape, film to digital. Adam gave us a peek through his viewfinder with a final look at Manchester’s Goose Side DIY just before it was destroyed.

90's Maybe - La Sapienza

Negatives found randomly in a box of old stuff, and I immediately felt like it was 1996, maybe 1997. It must have been a Sunday, the only day the university “La Sapienza” in Rome was closed, so they could climb over the gates and skate inside. That Sunday, 20 years ago, there were many skaters from the Roman skate scene at the time and many of them are still skating today.
