Filming: Alessandro Bosca, Olga Furchì, Alessio Pane, Andrea Scapino

Hi Matteo! Welcome on Candiesmagazine! Present yourself, how old are you, where do you come from and how long have you been skating?
Hi! I’m 20 y.o. , 7 years

Sponsors and hook-ups?
Jolly Sport Torino, Pachyderm Skateboard, Rough Distribution (Sabre, AWSM e TripleEight)

Your set up? [deck, trucks, wheels and so on]
Pachyderm 8.2 with trucks Venture 149, no comment on wheels and bearings.

Who did push you to skate?
My parents, they took me to Decathlon for my birthday and they told me I could have taken what I wanted in the roller area, but next to this there were the skateboards..

You traveled a lot this summer, which was the funniest moment for you?
I liked them all: Spring Classic, Un Tranquillo Weekend Da Paura, Zattoni’s vert, Habitat Skatepark, Genova, Bergamo…all awesome!

And among the others you even made two video parts. Did you edit them? Who helps you with the filming?
I edit, and I stop the first person I meet to film. If I’m in trouble I ask to Matte and Konrad, two pros in the field. I thank them for their patience

What does inspire you before skateboarding?
Good music, friends, a little bit of competition and obviously a skate video that suggests you the tricks to do everyday

What’s the skate video everyone should have at home?
There are a few, but surely “Almost – Cheese and Cracker”. It was one fo the first clips I watched and it affected me so much that my nickmane is now “the Italian Daewon Song”! I like it!

I assume that you like boned airs and fingerflips. What about your favourite tricks at the moment?
All in wallplant, fk bs no-comply 360 and all variations of blunt, above all blunt flip-in and halfcab blunt 360 shove-it to fk.

Projects for the next year? What are your goals?
I want to take part again to all contests and I’d like to balance skate, school, family, friends and girlfriend. I wanna learn a new trick every week, but it wouldn’t be bad to learn one per day

Thank you a lot Matte, just end it as you like it:
I thanks all my sponsors, my friends, especially Luca Fiora (who always come to the contests or skateboarding with me) and the boys of the Boarderline Crew (they always push me to do my best!) and in general all the people who support me. And CandiesMag obviously

A brand new edit from our friend Matteo Quaglia ! Check out!

Men we’re stoked to push the new video from our friend Matteo. Not only a talented skater, but a super nice person too.

We need more kind of ppl like him! check out his nice new edit!

I’m sure you didn’t miss the report of the Sestri Massacre Skate Contest a few weeks ago..well now there’s the video too! go check it out, and don’t forget to support your local skatepark!!

After a successful first edition (sestri contest) it was obvious that everybody wanted the return of the Massacre Skate Contest, which is going to become a tradition for the Ligurian skaters.

Divided into two categories – bowl and street – the contest allowed the skaters to express themselves on every structure of Sestri Skatepark. Everyone showed his best tricks to impress the jury and take home glory and prizes.

If you know some of the locals of the park, you can easily imagine a respectful line up:

- Angel Perez

- David Ball

- Alessandro Fruttero

- Andrea Rosa

- Emanuele Prella

- Kevin Duman

- Simone Arena

- Icaro Nardi

- Matteo Quaglia

- Francesco Traverso

- Daddi

- Stefano Cifra Ognibene

- Stefano Lillo

- Julian Ramirez

- Guillame Caraccioli

- Alex Cageggi

- Ence Montano

Plus Carlo Cassan and others.

In the first runs the jury decided who deserved to skate in the finals. The competition was on fire, but with a nice and relaxed mood.

Here are the results of the two categories. But it’s worth to mention that every single skater did his best and it was great!

Street Contest:

1. Stefano Cifra Ognibene

2. Guillame Caraccioli

3. Alex Cageggi

4. Daddi

5. Angel Perez

6. Matteo Quaglia

Bowl Contest:

- Longest Grind: Emanuele Manuela

- Highest Air: Alex Cageggi

- Best Overall: Guillame Caraccioli

- Special Mention to the youngest: Icaro Nardi

Enjoy the pictures… and be prepared for the next!!
