…meaning what Olimpia Zagnoli has in her mind.
Olimpia, well known illustrator here and overseas for her vintage graphic aestethics and her nice color palettes, in this recent interview narrates about a more or less recent past, the present in constant turmoil and about an all creative near future.
A nice interview with Daniele Galli just came out on the abriefglance front blog. Daniele tells us how he’s recovering from last winter’s injury, about his job at the Trinity Skatepark and unveals some plans for the future, all of this enriched by some nice flicks by Davide Biondani and topped off with this Danny and friends video part, that summarizes some of his 2010 skateboarding.
Danny, who’s a real superhero, has already been skating for a couple of months despite his surgery in November, and i’m pretty sure that summer 2011 will see him shred many sessions.
Marc McKee’s art was so controversial that they had an entire wall of Cease and Desist orders for his graphics at World…

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.
Daniele Galli is on the cover of issue no.5 of a brief glance with a bs smith grind on the Knodel bowl cradle. The good flick of Davide Biondani gives justice to the trick and motivates Danny in these very last few days of physical therapy, while he’s on his way to full recovery from his last injury.
Sunday February the 13th 6:00pm at TheLastCall in Milano we will organize with DuFFS a best trick skateboard contest on the Moove Ramps picnic table.
Skaters from all over the place, gather to get the cash prize and the Magnum bottle of a famous Emilian Energy Drink ;)
How many things does Lukas Goller have to juggle for soothing his visionary madness?
Way too many, but never enough.
Snowboarding is not enough, drawing is not enough, and not even designing snowboard apparel seems to be enough now.
In order to compensate for his madness disguised as genius good ol’ Lukas had to dive into another project, the making of the Whileitlast, which is a temporary skatepark in the Innsbruck area, built out of recycled materials.
Take a look at whileitlasts and learn the lesson: with little you can do a lot.
