bastard blog

The bastard bowl Shop Session (yes, it is a tongue-twister) is a day where the retailers from a a particular italian region come and visit our HQ along with some of their team riders. Last sunday a group of friends from Veneto showed up with our sales rep Checco Ugolini. Sloth from Vicenza, Secret Spot from Jesolo, Rider House from Padova, and Cubical from Thiene. They all came along with a few riders, and together with Daniele Galli, Amen, Andrea Vecchi and Max Bonassi threw down a good session. Here are some pics.

On Interni 53, special issue attached to Panorama, they just published a review on COMVERT HQ. On the two pages by Anita Martinelli, let alone a couple of tiny mistakes, we can see three nice photos of Giuliano Berarducci. For you, trustee readers of this blog, I believe COMVERT HQ has no more secrets, but in attachment you have the fuori salone guide, which lists events, parties and whatever else is of interest during Salone del Mobile 2009. See you around for an appletini toast!

TSPORT is a magazine about sport and recreational facilities. Inside the issue n° 266 there are three pages about the bastard bowl written by Riccardo Consoli. 

In the picture above the artpiece made by Lorenzo Fonda (who’s leaving for Los Angeles where he wants to stay more than usual) and Sergi Sanchez after 12 hours of session alternating painting/skateboarding at the bastard bowl.

My take: if you smell something rotten do something… or pay the consequences after sometime.

Yesterday we have been very honoured to welcome the visit of Prof. Mario Antonio Arnaboldi, a well known Architect and Professor with a very special relationship with both COMVERT HQ and Bastard Bowl.

ITALIAN LANGUAGE ONLY.

They used a shot of Daniel Cardone frontside flippin over the extension of the bowl, taken by Giuliano Berarducci the day after the Grand Opening (ONLYWOOD), I put here the original pic at a better resolution.

On saturday afternoon long time skate friends from Ravenna paid a visit to us and tested the bastard bowl. They put the session on fire (forgetaboutit)… it was a pleasure!

We hope they come back uphere to skate as soon as the winter arrives.

Here Giorgio certifies the extension with a Mc Twist at full speed…alla vecchia maniera.
