We Do It Because We Love It - Raviollie
Suddenly, I felt that restless urge for adventure stirring in my bones. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go—just that I needed to pack a bag and let the wind guide me. Europe came to mind, with its spectacular landscapes, awe-inspiring architecture, and mouthwatering cuisine. More than anything, I wanted to track down the best ravioli on the continent. That’s it—I’m off on a quest for the perfect plate. Let the journey begin!
(Noah walks in, eyes wide with excitement.)
NOAH (to the barista): Hi! I’m on a quest for two things: somewhere with amazing ravioli…and a fingerboard spot. Any leads?
BARISTA (laughing): You won’t find a halfpipe in our kitchen, but the chef does make killer ravioli. Check that table in the corner—someone mentioned fingerboarding earlier.
(Noah nods, thanks the barista, and heads over.)
(Noah sees a small ramp set up on the table. Another FINGERBOARDER is testing out mini-tricks.)
RAVIOLLIE (offering a handshake): I’m Rocco—Raviollie—artist and proud fingerboard enthusiast.
NOAH: Nice to meet you! My name is Noah, I’m sketching trick ideas and tasting ravioli at the same time. Multi-tasking, you know?
(They exchange excited looks. Raviollie plops down, pulling a mini fingerboard from his pocket.)
RAVIOLLIE: My fingerboard goes everywhere with me—always in my pocket.
(Noah notices that Rocco has a bunch of drawings next to his bag.)
NOAH: I’ve never seen that style of art before.
RAVIOLLIE: I’m a creative! My fingers like fingerboarding! Fingerboarding is art, so whoever fingerboards is an artist.
(If there is one thing you can’t leave out when fingerboarding or having a great cup of coffee at a coffee bar… that is a great sound track.)
(Raviollie lines up for a trick off the mini ramp.)
NOAH: If your life had a soundtrack, what’d play when you land something epic?
RAVIOLLIE: Definitely that French electronic vibe—like Daft Punk, Justice, maybe a bit of Kavinsky. It’s slow and downtempo, but also supercharged, you know?
(He flicks his fingerboard; it soars and lands with a neat little click.)
RAVIOLLIE (celebrating): Bam! Cue the electronic beat drop.
NOAH (applauding): That was perfect.
RAVIOLLIE: Perfection’s not really my thing—well, unless you’re Leonardo da Vinci or Rodney Mullen—but I’m all about having fun.
(They both laugh.)
(Raviollie pulls out a sketchbook covered in doodles of ravioli characters.)
NOAH: Crazy designs! Where do your ideas come from?
RAVIOLLIE: My subconscious. I just fish out strange combos from my mind. I keep my inner child alive—always curious, always combining random things. Fingerboards… and ravioli, for example!
(Raviollie imagines an art gallery.)
RAVIOLLIE: My dream exhibition would showcase paintings, drawings, animations, sculptures… plus some interactive fingerboard performances. Because why just have an art show when you can fingerboard in it?
(A curious onlooker approaches.)
ONLOOKER: Hey, I’ve never fingerboarded before. Any tips?
RAVIOLLIE (grinning): Sure—don’t look for anyone’s validation. Just keep it in your pocket, take it out whenever you feel inspired, and fingerboard.
(Raviollie and Noah follow the chef into the kitchen. Steam rises from a pot of pasta.)
CHEF (with a flourish): If fingerboarding were a ravioli dish, how’d you cook it?
RAVIOLLIE: Depends on your sauce mood—meat ravioli with veggie sauce, veggie ravioli with meat sauce, fish ravioli with a splash of butter…just like fingerboarding, mix it up! No rules, just have fun.
