- A Spanish word meaning a light wound on the skin produced by a scratch or cut from an object.
- A visible mark left on a surface after contact with another object.
For some reason we would end up here every Friday night and the same security guard would kick us out. Truth is that the metro security guy was a nice dude. We went so many times this winter with so many different people, but he always immediately recognized us, fun spot funny moments!
On a trip to Zaragoza in the north of Spain (supported by Welcome Skateshop). Signore Claudio “Melma” De Feudis works at a senior center type of place and he asked his boss to borrow the work van to drive on the trip. Claudio, aka Melma, aka mvp of the trip, drove on every mission, skated all the spots, and was the last one to bed everyday.
What does “Rasguño” really mean for you?
Ambroise: Rasguño means a scratch in Spanish, it reminds me of a cut I made in my shin trying a dumb ride on grind. I got a souvenir straight on my right leg, that kinda represent the good memories and all the effort that came with the video. Everybody shed some blood one way or another, there has been some scratch on bodies and probably on cars but the result is wicked “chanmé”.
Juli: Rasguño means a great year, in which we got a bunch of homies really hyped about making a project all together.
Shoutout to Welcome Skateshop for supporting us the whole way through. Thank you to Skate Jawn for having our backs with several projects this year and Place Skate Mag for hosting the entire video. On to the next one!
