Every time that Steve Van Doren stops by the bastard store, it’s a blast! On Sunday, February the 25th he arrived right for lunch with some long time friends.
As a digestive we skipped the ammazzacaffè and went straight to the bastard store for a lit session that we’ll never forget. Click on Chiole’s illustration for the raw footage put together by SHARE Skateboarding Mag.
We Are All Van Dorens.
We met during last January for that epic skate/signing session in the bastard bowl that eventually came out on the tube, filmed by DogTown skater and photographer Pep Williams for the video of the song Living For Life off the band latest record World Gone Mad.
Then we stayed in contact to develop this ultra limited bastard x Suicidal Tendencies clothing co-op collection off some of the most appreciated bastard’s classics. It’s the first time we ever dedicate a special limited edition version of our cargo pants to a collaboration project, we just had to find the right thing yet. We hope you enjoy it.
STay Cyco!
The new Suicidal Tendencies official video just popped out on the tube. Seeing Mike Muir walking trough the scaffolds of our warehouse and in the bastard bowl above his head Dave lombardo at the drums… well it’s priceless.
See you on Monday July the 3rd in Rome!
An entire generation began skateboarding with their soundtracks, this was a long a time ago.

Here is the video report of TWEDP 2011 contest that took place in Usmate and at the bastard store two weeks ago. We’ve beaten the rain!
Thanks to TheHardCheese for the video!
bastard starts off in 1994 as the first italian snowboard company entirely dedicated to freestyle and freeride.
The first line consisted in only two boards and a tiny clothing selection, expanding in the years to follow, especially for the clothing.
Throughout the years we kept our production in Italy, although the competitors were becoming more aggressive in terms of price, especially by using factories located in eastern Europe, Africa or Asia.
There are snowboarders that may care to know that the money they paid for their board was actually used to buy the best materials and not to finance expensive ad campaigns.
And some other also care to know that there still is a small factory outside of Milan, that manufactures boards using the latest technologies, with guaranteed precision and uniformity that up until a few years ago were only achievable with equipment dedicated for serial productions.
Topping it off with the craftsmanship and a meticulous approach to production we are able to obtain a superior non industrial type of product.
The type of snowboarder that appreciates all this is who we address to, because that’s exactly how we are.
Here below the new boards, Fishing Club collection, designed by our graphic designer Davide, who is way too much into fishing.
