Marco Lambertucci a.k.a. Bauli, in a short Blind video commercial, just fresh of publication.

Yari Copt refers to the Warriors as a very serious Swiss skate company. Everytime i go to Lugano for a photoshoot i come home exhausted. But watching Gilles Gallicchio, Martino Cattaneo, Igor Fardin & co. skate in real life pays me back everytime.

The Warriors are true veterans to the Jammin’ project. This is the fourth bastard Warriors collection, the clothing has evolved but the concept stays the same: 100% skate apparel.

Their latest video project Come Out To Skate was presented a few weeks ago and is available online, soon out in dvd.

Edo Paris, bastard store manager and Mc Skateboards’ team manager, just published a little promo video for Nicola Giordano, recently acquired lazy rider.
This is the first time Edo challenges himself with filming and editing, and the way he describes the video in his little made me smile in a good way.
Here it goes:

Fingerprints and hairs on the lens, cutoff heads and final slam! This my first self filmed and edited video.
Introducing Nicola Giordano.

The infamous swiss crew Warriors Skateboards will premiere their last video at the Trinity Skatepark in Milano, on Saturday night.
From the few teasers i came across and from what i heard, it’s going to be fun and there will be plenty of bangers to your delight!
And obviously the whole Warriors fam will attend and be there for a pre-video skate session and the after party, will you?

About a week ago, Pure Skateboarding, magazine created by Mirai Pulvirenti and the Baco boys, came out with issue 3.
In the double spread above that opens up the mag, we see Danny Galli fs lipsliding the cradle at the Knodel bowl in Brescia.
Even if Danny still has a few weeks of forced rest ahead, it’s good to see him reaping the seeds of this year’s alarming productivity on his side.

On the other hand the weird (and dated) image on the cover shows Gargy, a.k.a. Alessandro Gargiullo, long time roman skater, in the big pants small wheels era, ak.a. the early 90s, at the famous EUR Palombini spot in Rome.

The leit motiv of this issue is infact an excerpt of Gargy’s memories and pictures, of which he decided to make a book on his twenty-more years of skateboarding.

Gargy tells us about the uncomfort and social akwardness of a young boy in the outskirts of Rome who chooses a slightly different route for entertaining himself. Then the realization that this diversity is a value that opens the door to a brand new world that carries along friends, an actual subculture and a real long term lifestyle.

A few days ago Daniele Galli got injured at bastard bowl while filming a line for his next videopart. The guy didn’t lose focus and he’s already looking forward to a full recovery for springtime. As he awaits for his cast to be removed, he takes some well deserved rest in Valtellina, his homeland.

Best wishes for a full recovery Danny!
