The Green Lantern Power Ring grants unimaginable powers, among which flying at lighting speed. However it requires a recharging time in order to keep working.
Likewise, Edo Paris is capable of flying at incredibile speeds in many Milano spots, like the Bumps of Quarto Oggiaro, then needing a few relaxing days provided with cold beers and mellower sessions along with his long time friends, as in this frontside ollie at the bastard bowl.

On Wednesday, May 18th we received the visit of the legendary Jamie Thomas, milestone in worldwide skateboarding, along with some of the Fallen riders with whom he was on a filming trip between UK, Switzerland, Italy and Croatia. The crew was composed by considerable names in the skate scene like Tommy Sandoval, Tom Asta, Garret Hill, Jack Curtin, Jon Dickson, Dane Burman and Antony Schultz.

With the occasion we had a chat with Jamie Thomas, who tells us in this video interview how to concile being a company man and a skateboarder at the same time, as well as the importance of having a skatepark in the office, very valued issue here at bastard too.

The boys took advantage of the bastard bowl to have a good skate session for stimulating the appetite for their first italian meal, to which we all participated with great pleasure thanks to California Sport’s owner Giampaolo’s invitation.

Last Wednesday, for the Launch Party #29 Ivan Rivado from JART Skateboards paid a visit to the bastard store and set the bowl on fire!

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!

During the Résumé photo exhibit opening party, the Cliché team spent a good fun afternoon sessioning the bastard bowl.
