During 2009 ArchDaily turned into the most visited architecture website and this doesn’t surprise us at all, having seen the amount of contacts that their post published in May brought to the bastard store. ArchDaily chose to celebrate its successes of the last year with the Building Of  The Year 2009 award, voted from the readers.

Now the bastard store has made it into the finals by entering the Top 5 of the interiors section… and it’s huge considering the large number of projects in nomination, but we still need the final touch by all supporters provided with Facebook or Twitter.

This year, Electric is celebrating its 10th year and they will welcome us at ISPO in Munich to celebrate this event.

Warriors Skateboards proudly announces its first presence at the ISPO tradeshow in Münich (Germany) from February 7th through February 10th, Hall A2 – Booth 348A.

You will find the Warriors just behind the MiniRamp, so that you will easily enjoy the runs of Igor Fardin, Kevin Blaser and Martino Cattaneo.

The warriors will have a little booth with many surprises… need anticipations? Pirate Bar with free drinks for all visitors, tatoo area with pirate girls ready to tatoo Warriors logos all over the place, and last but not least, Warriors WAR OF THE WALL contest, on the wallride build by IOU Ramps with whom we had a collabo out in FW 2009.

Besides these tasty entertainment sessions, Warriors will be presenting the skate series Myths, 5 artists for 5 decks inspired by mythological creatures, and the new bastard Jammin collection FW 2010, of which we offer a peep preview below.

Dumb skateboards never rests, after a few months past the release of Too Dumb To Quit they’re back with an event that sounds very interesting. January 29th at the CLAB in Lodi, there will be an exhibition showing all the Dumb boards as artwork and Gio Donadini a.k.a. Canedicoda, will perform live. Beers and happy hour will be following.

This is all we know but it does already sound promising…

Recently On Board magazine hosts a section held by Zoran Filicic. He interviews people that somehow left their mark in the history of snowboarding in Italy.
On issue 85 there is room for GroS (a.k.a. the fattest of the bastard founders!), who tells us a little bit of his personal history, from the beginning of snowboarding and skateboarding in Italy up until today.
So it’s a good chat with Zoran from which stem thoughts, criticisms and funny stories.

Dowload the GroS interview on OnBoard (italian language only) if you want to know more about our favourite event speaker.

This photograph portrays Lukas Goller under the chairlift in Val Senales, Italy.  When I looked at the picture for the first time I immediately fell in love for it. Evidently was appreciated as much overseas, to the point that it got featured on a double spread in the wallpaper section, Transworld Snowboarding December issue.

For those who might not know the photographer Matt Georges, he’s a French dude based in Grenoble, who usually brings an innovative perspective on action shots, always focusing on the environment rather than obsessing on the trick itself. Check his personal page on Onboard for a deeper look. 

Issue n° 25 (codename Lazy’s Health) of the bastard Catazine is now available at the bastard store, featuring Lukas Goller dealing with pre-ski exercise on the Anti-Cover.

Fortyeight pages that offer an inside look on the things we did in the last six months and the people we collaborated with for making the clothes we’re wearing this winter, JAMMIN’ e ARTISTUFF in particular.
