when you hear about bmx in italy, it’s always about the same 5 or 6 riders that are actually good enough to make their name known even outside their country…. by david margiotta

well the small italian scene has been growing a lot in the past few
year, especially in the north where it’s getting bigger and bigger
every year.
not exactly the same thing is happening on the other side of the
“pizza-country” so that people don’t even think that a bmx scene exist
south of rome. that’s one of the reasons why we filmed this short
video.

If you want to see a video with all the latest tricks please look
elsewhere, we are not , and we don’t aim to become pros.
This is a video about friendship, about fun and troubles trying to
grow up a scene that is is still made just of a few riders, in the
south of Italy where bmx is still “the little kid’s bike”.

Maybe the oldest ones will see in us the spirit that was in italy not
too many years ago, that inspired us to start riding and already
looked to north italy as a small America, when there were less spots
and less tight-pants-pros, when we had fun with less and when
everybody was cheering for an x-up or getting crazy for a sketchy
landed tailwhip…

Dedicatet to all those who have forgotten what it means to fight for
something, to all those who are complaining becouse the closest
skatepark is 10 miles away from home, and those who support
fake-sponsors that never helped bmx grow and those who cannot see what
goes beyond evry trick or every trend.
And dedicated to all those who next summer want to have a vacation in
south italy to go to the beach, sail with the boat or just eat lots of
pizza and buffalo mozzarella, and also want to see our characteristic
spots and a scene that still resists within a lot of difficulties.

Thanks to everybody who directly or indirectly support our scene, and
also who doesn’t.
