Carhartt WIP | Azzurro

Carhartt WIP | Azzurro

In 1968 Gibellina, a small town nestled in the Belice valley of western Sicily, was destroyed by an earthquake. Today, it remains silent. Some 11 kilometres from where this town once stood, you will find its replacement, Gibellina Nuova. Designed by some of Italy’s most prominent artists and architects of the time, it is a town unlike any other in the region, resembling more of an open-air museum than a place where people work and live. But in many ways, it is representative of the region itself, a place that prides itself on being different and where people consider themselves Sicilian first, Italian second

It is here that provides the setting for Azzurro, a film featuring Sicilian-born Carhartt WIP skater Mauro Caruso. The project was first initiated by Mauro in 2010 only to then suffer a series of setbacks that he came to refer to as “the curse of Gibellina.” It was finally completed in March of this year. Shot by Ludo Azémar in a style that evokes the aesthetic of neorealism, Italy’s golden era of cinema, Azzurro effortlessly blends skateboarding, architecture and art. 

Concept by Mauro Caruso
Direction and Cinematography by Ludovic Azémar
Music by Ronan Le Floc'h
Featuring: Mauro Caruso, Felipe Bartolomé, Joseph Biais

Nike SB | Barcelona AM Finals

Nike SB | Barcelona AM Finals


Jonas Carlsson → BS Smith Grind

A sunny weekend in Barcelona is a tough act to beat, drop in 15 top AMs, a kicking sound system and a concrete skatepark next to the beach and you would be hard pushed to top the finals of the Nike SB Barcelona AM at Skate Agora, Saturday.

The finals format was simple – 5 x 3 man, 3 minute, jam format heats. With only one visit to the park for the skaters there were no opportunities to play around for anyone who was hoping to end the day with a pocket full of prize money.

Mathias Torres from Chile passes by Barcelona every few months and has clearly got feel for local lines, showing smooth flow and smashing an inward heel down the stairs, but the standard was high at the Badalona park. Gustavo Ribeiro, a second place finalist from last year had his eye on taking a step up the podium by bringing home a bigspin fs blunt to fakie down the rail but couldn’t hold the rest of his run together enough to retake a top spot.

1st Tim Debuche  2nd Jorge Simoes  3rd Justin Sommer

Justin Sommer’s skating over the last couple of days showed he was going to make a point and demonstrated the fact by bringing a hard flip front board on the rail to the party and closing down 3rd spot. Last year’s winner Jorge Simoes was back in the final mix, on form and looking good for the double, snapping into a frontside ollie to switch krook on the volcano and taking a bigspin fakie nosegrind to the bump to ledge. Young Tim Debuche, 15 from the south of France, had other plans though, and a 360 flip lipslide to fakie and kick flip to front nose grind on the bank to ledge was enough to turn the judges heads and award him the overall title.

Nike SB | Barcelona AM Qualification


Ishod Wair → Bomb Hill

The European capital of skateboarding, the proving ground for AMs, Barcelona, once again blessed us with sunshine and a perfect temp for the qualifiers of the Nike SB Barcelona AM on Friday afternoon.

Many of the skaters who had travelled into Barcelona, got in the mood for the heat rounds with a classic ‘Hill Bomb’ from the top of the city down to the newly opened Barcelona Box creative space situated on Barceloneta Beach.

Stadium bleachers and screens set up around The Skate Agora skatepark in Badalona down the coast, added to the intense session atmosphere as the 120 registered skaters from across the globe threw down for the biggest AM skate event on the continent.

With only 20 skaters advancing through to the semis to meet the 20 pre-qualified riders, 3 man, 3 minute heats flew through in a blaze of fierce skating.

15 made the cut for the Saturday finals that saw a bunch of big hitters missing the grade in the insanely tough field.

Getting through with some man size lines, was Londoner Casper Brooker alongside Norwegian child prodigy Jonas Carlson, who showed the flow maturity of a skater a decade his senior. The top three from the semis were Didrick Galasso with trademark relaxed effortless cool, Mads Christensen solid and textbook as ever and going through in the top spot big man Alexander Risvad showing super consistency throughout the day.

Full list of results

For those that didn’t qualify there was consolation in the fact that they could let loose in town and take in the launch of the Marcel Veldman’s solo exhibition ‘Definitely Not the New Fluff Exhibition’ - skateboarding in its purest form.

The overall winner will also leave with a ‘ticket to fly’  pass getting them an invite to the Nike SB Berlin Open at the end of July
