Elliot Murphy - Sicily 007

I met Elliot back in 2006 the first time I went to Oregon for a year; the next year I came back home and he came visit for 10 days during Christmas time.
Back then most of us didn't even have their driving license yet but since the hype was big, I rember we would just steel a random car from my friend Gionni's dad rental car biz and just go off all day!
I guess  Gionni already knew how to drive so we didn't have many problems except the fact we were all illegal but we stil speaking about sicily so yep, no problemo! Big fun for sure!
Elliot is rad dude and one of those guys who loves it that much that could just be out skating 24/7 no stop, always with the hype to skate, film or whatever! He is so good at skating as he is at filming and that's sick! If he is trying to film a trick, he is not gonna stop till he does it, and does it how he wants it, if he is filming he will keep pushing you till you, really, either get that trick or just die! ahah
He is the HYPER type of dude in any occasions, and that's why I love him and miss him a lot!!
Back then he would jump down anything, like a beast and just murder everyspot!
This footage was filmed in about 10 days, here and there, with a few days of rain and all the other problems you can imagine, but still, Elliot just destroyed it that time!! The last three tricks were done under the rain pretty much, gnarly!
Out of this trip, Elliot made an edit with his tricks and mine, but for some reasons youtube took it out many and many years ago; a few months ago lurking on my hard drive I found all this footage and watching it again after lot of time it still shocked me to decide it needed to be online!
Unfortunately a few years after he really fucked up his ankle down wallenberg and that took him 1, 2 years before geting back; I know he had to put so much work into it but I knew he wouldn't give up at all and now he is fully on, living in LA, doing his thing, pushing his brand called Lacorda (www.lacorda.co) and killing it as usual! Yeessss maaaaaannnnnnn can't wait to link up sooon again!

Efrem Sapienza - ComeHomeForChristmas!

Efrem and I know each other for a while now!
 He is a skater and a great drinker/natural smoker from Catania who has been skating for a few good years now but always kind of stayed in the shade! always been a short guy so maybe that's why :P Jk my friend!
Three years ago he moved out of sicily to go to Turin, north italy, to study architecture over there. From what I have seen around he got super down with the guys from the scene there and has been pushing a lot these past years! They have got this nice and rough street plaza but for sure is increasing the level a lot! and Efrem is the total proove!
He came back for christmas time and we made this little clip filmed the week before I got my surgery! we were meeting up every morning at the park with the possibility that I could get the phone-call from the hospital and that's pretty much what happened from one day to another! lucky enough we already had good stuff for an edit! I love the light we had those days! good skating efrenzito and good you came back for christmas! ;) Cheeeers!
