VERAZZE . . . ITALY . . .

Yeray Escobar, Sammy (Tong Hawk) and myself took a flight on my birthday over to Italy to meet up with our Italian friends Cava and Enrico for a mini ramp comp that was taking place on the beach in Verazze in Italy. After the comp we would make our way through Italy and travel through Switzerland over 2.5 weeks and have some Gypsy Life premieres, enjoy the scenery and spots on offer. When we arrived to Italy Cava was already injured with a battered leg and a swell-bow to match . . . There was free beer and food at the 3 day competition so we my birthday weekend to the fullest.

BARCELONA . . . SPAIN . . .

I decided to go and re-visit this little gypsy ghetto area which i had explored a year earlier when i had a broken hand and couldnt skate. I wish that I had have taken more photos the previous year of the houses as at the time people inhabited the area. In the last year some big developers have come in and started destroying peoples homes to make way for a new soccer stadium and shopping centre . . . I really dont know the full story off what happened out there, but the spray paint on the houses translates to 'here live people' and 'house occupied' . . . Spanish version of Dale farm?

this is the blog from the year before . . .

BARCELONA . . . SPAIN . . .

Australian homies Yason and Matt have really mastered the art of 'gronking it' over the European winter. Arc de Triompfs newish D.I.Y addition is good fun! My friend Andrea Cavaletti grinded it for days 100000 miles an hour, we also now have a skate company together which i will write more about on in the next few weeks. Whats it called? 'Gypsy Skateboards & Adventure' . . . Papi Papi leanrt 5050s at the mickey mouse bowl and was the most hyped person ive seen for a long time, love skating with this guy! Chingon was job hunting amid the crazyness of the recession while I was on the couch for days battling some terrible stomach virus. I did manage to get out for a few fun skates with Yeray Escobar, the first guy to join the Gypsy Skateboards team . . . BIENVENIDO PRINNNGGAAAO ! ! ! Young Tony Hawk also joined us for a session at Canyelles and we filmed some cheeky things for Gypsy Life 2 . . . After a little 12 day visit it was back to spend time with Mary in relaxing, green Galicia for a week before going on to Italy/Switzerland for our first Gypsy Skateboards trip.
