OH MY GOODNESS MAN — Rat Ratz: Rach & Zuma

Daily News September 22nd, 2025 · 12:00 pm

Anybody who was missing the crew vibes from “NILS & VINCE” can rejoice. They’re all back in the latest from Rat Ratz, “RACH & ZUMA,” which features parts from …Rach and Zuma. Between them, is the entire crew that has anchored every Ratz project since they first popped up on our radar back in 2019.

Rach really comes into his own with this one — as soon as that opening nosegrind shuv over the gap came on, you knew he wasn’t fucking around — while Zuma holds it down with exemplary flip trick form. And for a scene whose marquee obstacle involves avoiding a grate (so much to the point that people just easily slide to the end now), the fellas have picked up a real habit for …landing in actual grates with this release.

Video by Spezzatura. Filmed by Formizzz, Spezzatura, Cionve, Brisquit, Augustin Giovannoni and Will Miles.

RAT RATZ: NILS & VINCE

Video August 14th, 2025 · 9:00 am

The latest from Rat Ratz is a shared part between the Milan crew’s two star players, Nils Matijas and Vince Palmer. All the other familiar faces from the past half-decade’s worth of Ratz projects are there for moral support as these two put their all-grown-up talents on display. All remnants of their jit era are gone: Nils puts on a Saari-inspired showcase of mirror lines, and Vince earns first-tier placement among the otherwise endless list Centrale grate gap tricks.

While the early Ratz videos drew inspiration from things like the first wave of Supreme videos, they arrived at a place that feels wholly their own. A large part of that process has been taking an ever-expanding eye towards what’s possible and what else is even skateable at their home plaza, which has to be one of the most-skated spots anywhere on earth.

Can’t Rush A Bluntslide

Daily News July 14th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 2

Shout out to the street pool in The Bronx. They’re really using skater brains to make something out of …yeah. Not sure about diving off the scaffolding though.

“Are you a believer?” It has been over a year since the last Panorama or Rat Ratz video, but to hold you over, Spezzatura dropped “RAWR 5,” a compendium of what has gone down in the Milan skate scene since the winter. Safe to say that the subtitles are once again the funniest part. Very pretty flat at the start 🇮🇹

Ben Kadow did the “5 Greats” questionaire for Thrasher. Can’t wait for Ben to skate to Chief Keef in his next part. Also, will echo the NY Pizza Suprema sentiment 🍕 A man can really get some thinking done with a mushroom slice on the post office steps across from MSG.

Naquan Rollings continues to go through his old VX tapes, with the latest installment clocking in at 13 minutes of 2019 footy. Still committing to that back heel after the Parks Department parked at the bottom of the steps was wild. Staten Island line is a classic too. [Previously: Midtown 2017.]

Raw Files in Italian :) Rat Ratz & Panorama 3 B-Sides via Spezzatura

Daily News September 29th, 2024 · 3:01 pm

In the warp-speed era of the skateboard news cycle, raw files, remixes and all that don’t hit quite like they did during slower times.

At least not in English they don’t — because it was hard not to laugh out loud at some of the subtitled Italian commentary [“OOO MY GOD BRO”] in Spezzatura‘s latest upload, which encompasses all the B-sides lying around the finished products of WHO SAID WHAT and Panorama 3 (which, apparently isn’t viewable in the United States anymore on account of a music rights issue?) Italians are known worldwide for their passion, and when presented with the opportunity to wail in subtitled frustration on the floor outside of a Milanese transit hub, the experience is as operatic as one would expect.
