Rocka da Poppa!

The skate spot we were heading to, near Rocca di Papa.
Missioning to a skate spot south of Rome.





Doing a bit of tourist photographing. Cool cliffside village.

Largo Albano.

Still travelling.


We finally found the road, and... it was shocking!

Stopped at the top of the hill. Radio masts giving us dillusions that we could actually skate the hill.

The boards.

Freaking Resident Evil vibes.

Zona Militare.

Finally ended up skating a proper session near Ikea. Better roads, better
So the skate session started a little late on Saturday afternoon, only leaving the city at 6.30 p.m. We ended up getting lost and in the process found an awesome hill to skate. Unfortunately it will have to be a Sunday morning when there are fewer cars, but potentially really awesome. I'll post a vid of the route sometime. 
So when we finally stopped it was almost dark and the road was shocking. Antonio brought me some Randal 180s with 50ยบ base-plate and I switched to 75mm classic thane Zigs. The surface was really bad. If the road was perfect it would be really amazing. A couple of sick corners. Mini Kozakov possibly? Who knows. 
So we finally left. Unsatisfied. We decided to head back to something we knew. Ikea. The skating was just what we needed.
