I started skateboarding when I was about 10 or 11 years old, together with my friends at school. It was like a trend. Everybody in the neighbourhood, probably motivated by the video games, was skating. But this didn’t last for long… after one year, we were only three skaters left, so we went to the city to skate where we met other skaters coming from other places and we became friends. Now I’m skating in Lugano every day. Sometimes I go to other cities, meeting people and feeling free by doing anything.
