Italian photographer, David Marsili, has been documenting the growing downhill skateboard community in Italy. Expect to see more from these Italian riders in the future. They have some of the best mountain runs just a short drive away.
“I’ve been traveling all around Italy to document the Italian skateboard downhill scenario. It’s impossible for me to represent my entire work with only 18 shoots and be grateful to all of the friends I met during these trips at the same time.” – David Marsili
