BMX mixed with Fixed
It was summer 2008 when we put Stefan Lantschner’s BMX and Andrea Schilirò‘s fixed gear bike in my convertible vintage car and toured everywhere in Eastern Italy and Slovenia. It was fun to witness two different ways of riding the same spots, but it also nice to know that now Andrea is using his track [...]
Jenny Lavarda climbs the Mole
I just came back from my former hometown Turin, where I shot Red Bull athlet Jenny Lavarda climbing the Mole Antonelliana.

Leaving from Milan, we first stopped in Genova for some street and park riding and photos while waiting for the ferry to bring us to Sardinia. After a 12 hours sailing [...]
