Another nice clip from Evan Division riders, featuring real as well as virtual riding. That’s longboarding!

The original article comes from the mind of Danilo Pianese. Pictures are property of the team.

… if I had to compare Evan Division to a movie, I’d surely consider ‘Revenge of the Nerds’, 1984. We’re just like them, a group of people that is not taken into consideration in Italy. We practice sports that aren’t interesting from an economic point of view (longskate, skimboard, surf), and we’re kind of an ethnic minority

Now some months have passed since we created the Evan team and we wanna take a look back to the results we achieved in the meantime.
In April we published on Facebook our very first pictures and the team was composed by three of us (Danilo Pianese, Gabriele Monaco and Andrea Salzano). We just had fun with our boards, throwing ourselves down steep descents, without knowing what was going to happen next.

We thought it would have been just a hobby, and that nobody would have ever cared about what we’re doing. But we were wrong, and soon after we were already supported by YP ITALY (clothing), TURTLE SURF SHOP Andora (clothing and apparel) and KALI PROTECTIVES (full face helmets)

During the following four months we saw an exponential growth, thanks both to our great commitment and to all the advices we received from other skaters and friends.
We met some already existing teams like Longskate Arbus and we saw the birth of new teams like PigZilla Team from Genoa. This is really positive, cause it means there are a lot of people ready to plunge into a completely new sport.

So we can say we’re completely satisfied, and our team looks more and more like a big family. Two new member entered the group, Luca Quaglia and the young Edoardo Reina.
Everyone can see our achievements, and we can count -thanks to Paolo Colombini- on brands like DVS SHOES, MATIX CLOTHING and LAKAY LIMITED FOOTWEAR distributed by FRESCO DISTRIBUTION and sold by Turtle Surf Shop.

We’re the first Italian team that can count on the support of some of the best brands on the market, even if we don’t have competitive aims.
In fact our aim is promoting what we love..we do it for passion and we’re halfway between the amateurs and the pros, opening a new door to all those who-just like us- will never practice this sport as a job.
You can follow us on Facebook or on our official website www.evandivision.altervista.org and our youtube channel www.youtube.com/user/EvanDivision.
Keep in touch!

Text by Danilo Pianese, Evan Division

…What could I say about EvanDivision.. everything began a day in Prato Nevoso. I was talking with Andrea Salzano and he told me about his great passion for snowboarding and his search for a sponsor which was never coming.

That day I was there to ride with a dear friend of mine (Andrea Marchi – Team 100% Brumotti)…two years after my injury in the pipe. Well, as we were in the park I noticed he was wearing a YP T-shirt and he told me that he could have sponsored me as a surfer. Well, in fact I’ve been surfing for 14 years now, and I’m pretty good.

Later in the same day we met again Salzano and after a few hours we find ourselves drinking in a bar and talking nonsense.

Since I was a surf and longskate shaper, and since we were in a very good mood that day, we decided to create a multi sport team with the aim to convince as many people as possible to move their ass out of the couch and to go riding. Skate, surf, skim, snow, whatever.

…Then, the third mad man joined us. He’s Gabriele Monaco, 43, and he’s really pushing it to the next level!
You’ll find something about him on the Evan website, he’s great!

…last but not least, YP helped us a lot, sending us hoodies, t-shirts, stickers, caps and so on to begin our new adventure… And soon after also Paolo of the Turtle surf shop helped us with all the other stuff, protections, trucks, bearings, wheels, grips.. we couldn’t ask for more.
Since that moment we made a lot of things, and you can follow us on our facebook fan page… we often publish pictures and videos… we really want to push anyone who’s fed up of soccer! We’re testing on our skin every single centimeter of asphalt.

We really want to say thanks to all those who support us (wives, girlfriends, friends)  and those who take us pictures and videos… I don’t know where will this project lead us, we just enjoy it having fun!
