Martino Cattaneo rides for Madness Skateboards and is a lunatic

martino_teaser
Madness Skateboards own Martino Cattaneo has been on the radar every since his 5 minute intro to the world courtesy of Vans 2020 Tom's Tales video dropped. Emerging from effectively nowhere at that point, this Swiss ATV turned heads with the aforementioned Vans part, then followed it up with his inaugural release for Madness Skateboards, which you can see up there. The combination of his non-ironic man bun and his seeming ability to tear up transitions that are either too mythological in size for your average human, or so tight as to be unskateable, marks him out for greatness. Go watch the first minute and a half of the Madness Skateboards clip at the top of this text and ask yourself this: 'has anyone else ever started a street line with 25 seconds in a super tight street fullpipe? (Pro tip - they haven't). True originals are hard to come by in 2022 so Martino Cattaneo is a breath of fresh Swiss air across the bow of the good shit Predictable if we're being honest. It just so happens that we've had a huge drop of Madness skateboards this week which, aside from giving you the chance to get your hands on some of the most diverse and beautiful skateboards currently on the market, also gives us an opportunity to gas man bun up as he deserves. From 10 inch wide beasts, to slicks, to shaped boards with wheel wells and amazing graphics - don't spare yourselves the madness.

It's absolutely fucking mental. Additionally, post Madness Skateboards hook up, Martino also appears on 2021's Am Scramble from Thrasher which is worth watching in its entirety. Bonkers as ever. To wind this one up, it's probably also worth mentioning that we've also had a massive delivery of the perennially popular Blind Skateboards this month too which functions as a suitable reminder that Blind Skateboards' 1992 classic 'Tim & Henry's Pack of Lies' is 30 years old this month. If you've never seen it, go watch it now. If you have, go watch it again. Black Sabbath and Henry Sanchez - goosebumps!  Martino Cattaneo rides for Madness Skateboards
