Rozkurwiel Tour – “sweet sixteen”. Bunch of semi-bums, semi-skaters took to the road one more time. What can you expect from crew of ageing amateurs skateboarders? Same tricks but different spots. Sounds like fun? To be honest, if I was you I would probably stop reading here and just check these few photos….
Many moons ago, in a land not so far away, 10 skaters from across europe joined forces to reach a common goal: complete annihilation of England….
They failed, having to flee home after barely surviving the South.
When I started, there were about 20 skaters out of 1.27 million population… So you already knew who to expect from hearing that distinctive sound of a board rolling down the road. Now, there are so many kids skating that we barely recognize each other!
I choose photos of a style burned into my soul from admiring skaters like Hosoi and Cab. I started this love for skating in the mid 80s. It was all about judo airs, tweaked methods and the way crossbones look.
The Greifi Pool turned one year old this summer and we celebrated it with a big bash. Stuff for tricks and everyone – doesn’t matter what size, wheels, gender, or skills – was welcome to shred. People showed up and contributed their best.
It rains a lot around here, and despite having public skateparks in the area, they are always full of scooters and there was no indoor park, so we got down to work and started cleaning everything to build a miniramp…

With an unbelievably old, ripped up, Motörhead shirt on, the sickest pair of leather boots you’ve ever seen, a cig in one hand and an archaic piece of technology in the other, comes Olivia Jaffe. Like a spider carefully waiting for the moment to strike, often not disrupting the scene, just hanging in there tight till the time comes, she shoots to kill… dig into her photos and dive head-first into a rock and roll universe you only ever dreamed of before.

Many of the clips I filmed have unfortunately been lost… and this d.i.y. project is called “Broken Part” also for this reason… but still, I decided to finish it, respecting that period that was magical as it was in every day, night, trick, trip without adding other clips outside of that time when I was to move back to Italy.
