Next week bastard will be at the ISPO tradeshow in Munich, 3-6 February 2013, Hall A1, Booth 229.

After 18 years on the market we are still looking for retailers/distributors that share with us our same passions and commitments!

Come to meet us and discover our new snowboard clothing line for winter 2013-14 designed by Lukas Goller, the totally handMade in Italy snowboards and the products developed in collaboration with ROUGH snowboards and Todd Bratrud.

P.S. The ISPO tradeshow is reserved for business professionals only (a.k.a. retailers, distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers, magazines, riders, designers…)

Your life is precious, smoke less, smoke better. Precious makes accessories for those wanting to smoke for pleasure and not as a vice.

Together with Precious designers we developed a small but complete collection of products dedicated to all smoke-lovers. Every details studied for a specific use: long and short papers pocket, tobacco  and lighter compartment, fire-proof coating. The entire bastard Precious collection is available online.

Randomvideo has finally published online “Everybody is in”, its annual snowboard movie.

Unintentionally monopolizing this blog, Giorgio Zattoni just sent us the video below that has been shot during his first visit at the bastard bowl in Milan. Unapproachable.

Thanks to Thomas Pilani for the video and to Giorgio for the Frankie Hill deck he was riding that day.

As we just started at COMVERT a collaboration in Italy with JIMMY’Z, we thought that an italian skater would be necessary to represent at best.

Welcome to the family Giorgio!

p.s. the action was recently certified by Hosoi and Cab!
Thanks to HARDCHEESE  for the video editing and Marco Golfieri for the filming. To know more about JIMMY’Z in Italy write to jimmyz@comvert.com

Magnus, aka Roberto Raviola, is one of the most eclectic authors in the italian and european comicbook scene. His works reached the most diverse genres, from fantasy to erotic. Starting off with an essential style he later on evolved by researching the finest details. We had the opportunity to have a good chat with his son Riccardo.

He set an example in treating “uncomfortable” themes. He treated subjects such as politics, war, hate, violence, drugs, pornography, horror, but he never stopped in front of these subjects, always coming out clean.

Three works that I would suggest to a new Magnus fan? Lo Sconosciuto, Le 110 Pillole, Tex.

Together with his son Riccardo we dug in this great artist’s archives and we decided to dedicate a capsule collection as a tribute to one of his masterpieces: Vendetta Macumba. Sweatshirt, t-shirt and snowboard, all in black and white.

We are pleased to host the premiere of the first skate movie by Murder: Generation Waste.

Filmed in various locations among which Italy, French, Spain and Germany.

On Wednesday, December 5th from 6,30 pm, we will enjoy the vision of Generation Waste at the bastard store.

Hurry up, seats are limited!

After the screening, skate session at bastard bowl with Murder team riders and friends.
