I took these two pictures during the construction of the bastard bowl back in 2008.
The boss gives directions, then turns his back and it’s instantly showtime :)

When I think Marcin sometimes I just crank up, other times I catch myself getting a little nostalgic knowing that the other half of the laughter is gone with him.
Sunday, May 18th at Cinetown Skatepark in Cinecittà, Rome, Marcin’s friends gather to spend a nice day together and bring back a bit of those laughs that the Flying Polish used to bring to any session!
Rest in peace Marcin and thanks for the journey.

Christian Hosoi, Tony Alva, Steve Caballero and Giorgio Zattoni. It’s not the X-Games legends roaster: these are simply the riders that participated to the most unbelievable session ever at the bastard bowl.

Hosoi, who’s always been the king of style , shows us he’s still in an incredible shape. He’s almost too good to be true. He rides as if time has frozen. Pure legend.

Nikolai Danov just decided to spend a week up here in Norhern Italy for attending the Launch Party #31 and to be able to survive the cold season by skating a little bit the bastard bowl. This is a glimpse of his latest session there.

As anticipated, here’s the freshly published video report of the visit Daniele Galli & co. paid to the DC Embassy of Barcellona. Enjoy!

Daniele Galli is one of the first lucky italians to be invited at the Barcelona DC Embassy, recently opened DC’s indoor private skatepark, and since it’s pouring rain in Barcelona these days, he’s been skating it non-stop. The official video and photos from the visit of the italian delegation will be published on the DC Embassy website. The photos will also be published in a feature article on the next issue of 6:00AM magazine.

Dave Shamblin, filmer  from West Virginia, went to visit Lupi in Barcelona and they thought they might as well pay a visit to us in Milan.
Dave had met Lupi and the other Lazy Riders during their Florida trip a few years back.

Our friend, with the help of Jacopo Tardito, made this little video report of the vist that features Lupi and the streets of Milan and Barcelona.

Edo Paris, store manager at the bastard store, got the cover on 6:00 AM 57, August/September issue, with this big frontside heelflip on the infamous Quarto Oggiaro bumps.
Inside the mag his interview and the bastard ad campaign Our Friends Are Our Heroes that features him.

To top it off, in this same issue interview to Claudio Jep Bernardini (CEO at bastard) for celebrating his 40th birthday.
