la dolce vita

By Ozzie Ausband

The sweet life.

Geoff Graham.

explore your world.

‘La dolce vita’ means ‘The sweet life’. We have it. We fortunate few skateboarders. We found a way out of the mundane & a place to escape mediocrity. We destroy fear & better ourselves everytime we skate. We have ‘the sweet life’. Today is my 2 year anniversary CLEAN & SOBER. I made it two years & my life has become sooooo much better. I may not have many possessions, but I have enough & I am finally living. Stoked! Thanks to MRZ, Geoff Graham & Seb Carayol for the sweet images. Skate-Ozzie
