SK8 IN ROME


- Mars -

        When I was living in Brescia nine years ago I loved skateboarding during the freetime. I still remember when I learned how to do the ollie. I think I spent one month just down the street not far from my parents house to try to jump on the sidewalk. I practised hardly and finally I did some great ollies, it was very fun and I was proud that I was moving to do something bigger.

            After the first trick that every skaters learn when they're training, I had the opportunity to go to some great bowls and skateparks in the city where I was born. Around one years ago I went back to Brescia where there is an  amazing bowl. I was with the long skate that I bought when I visited  Venice beach, California. It was strange to go back to the palces where I grow up, I just went down from the coping and I still remeberd the same lines that I was riding ten years ago.  It was a great experice!



Yestarday after work I was ready again for a great sk8 session. 

         I got off at Anagnina metro stop (Rome) after almost an hour, and I followed the direction that I recived from a friend by fb. Thanks so much Lea!
         I walked 15 min and behind some condos there is an amazing free skatepark. It is just in the area that it calls Cinetittà. I arrived there around 6.30 pm, just the time to find Lea that she introduced me some her friends, and to find a place for the bag...and I was skatebording again.

         Initially I felt not very ready to go back in a skatepark after a long time, but I just thought:

  'the life is one and everyday is special'.

I putted the tail of the skateboard on the coping, I watched down and I dropped in. I was so happy and I felt free!!!! I was skateboarding for an hour and I  tried to close some triks, like the show-it and some ollies on the flat zone. Thanks Mars! For the first day it was enough, but I had the idea to print in my mind this beautiful evening, so I got the camera and I took some shoots of the skaters that I met there.






 

 Thanks so much for a great time toghether, see you soon!
