M4

What started as a joke while drinking beers outside Hector skate shop, slowly became a reality as we realized the potential of it, till it became a fully fledged project.

Milan’s M4, the so called blue line, has been slowly under construction for years. Then, in typical Italian style, they boosted the construction to have it ready for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The result is a sad and grey architecture of corporate soulless design. On the inside every station look the same, and the outside architectural project involves granite planters, marble ventilation boxes and useless plazas which seems like something that could look good only on 3d renders.

For the average citizen this is just another piece of infrastructure, for us skater it’s endless opportunities. For eight months we explored every stop, trying to figure out if they could be
skated and how. We broke in almost every single object we skated, grinding, waxing, arguing with authorities and passersby, creating marks of usefulness in useless places.

We never went more than 100 meters away from a subway entrance, except when we were exactly on top of the subway tracks.

The challenge brought out the creativity in all of us, we might have not always done gnarly tricks, but we definitely tried our best to maximize the spots.

If you ever end up in Milan just follow the blue line and see for yourself.
