I suppose you could describe Maz as an ‘underground’ skater- quite literally in the PPWT video..
From PP11.

Gore Athens
Ben Gore- b/s 5-0, Athens; photo: Richard Hart
Another one from PP11’s Partial Partial World Tour article (and video).
Athens has a lot of these marble steps- usually smoother than the surrounding ground..

'Battle' Valls

Hopefully you’ve been following the edits that Free Skate Mag have been putting up this week, from this year’s ‘Battle of Normandy’ in which five teams shared a huge building in the countryside and didn’t battle at all, but hung out together and played football and swam- when they weren’t exploring the surrounding towns for skate spots..
The Magenta edit just went up..
