Bastard store makes it to the Vans Shop Riot european finals once again. This last edition was held at the Wintherthur skatepark in Switzerland on Saturday, October 9th.

Representing bastard store Daniele Galli, Marco Lambertucci and Igor Fardin. The boys skated really good and placed fourth, which is awesome considering the very high level of the contest.
First place goes to ABS, french shop based in Annecy (really impressive!), followed by 50-50, Danny Wainwright’s legendary shop in Bristol, and third place goes to the Austrian 5boro.
Incredible best trick contest, won by Tim Zom with a backside noseblunt down the big rail.

Lukas Flash Goller, photographed by Denis Piccolo while filming for Too Much Too Serious, spent last winter mostly in the alps; besides snowboarding he was designing and testing the new bastard snowear collection.

Among his great inventions, the closet pocket in the Goja jacket, in which you can store pretty much all you need in the mountains.

Lukas is a snowboarder, designer and visionaire. He might not have superpowers, but once you get to know him, he’ll look like a superhero to you. He already is in our eyes.

Delicious salami and strong Lambrusco, colorful canvas and painted shoes. Those were the subjects of the No One Knows grand opening.

We ate all the salami and we drank all the wine, but NotAWonderBoy’s works are still at the bastard store until monday October 11th, swing by to give it a well deserved look.

NotAWonderBoy’s No One Knows, Lambrusco, Salame e Solo Exhibition is expecting you on wednesday October 6th at 6PM at bastard store.

NotAWonderBoy brings to the table some Lambrusco wine, his homeland’s typical, and his last body of artwork.
Vinyl and acrylic on canvas and the limited edition NAWPimp dressy shoes for the ladies’ delight.

During the exhibition, that’ll stay open up until Monday October 11th, his custom shoes and sweatshirts and t-shirts featuring the Fightback artwork will be available for purchase.

Things start off by meeting the dirty romans Nikolai Danov and Milo Marra in Milano Centrale. Double train to Usmate, obviously it would only be a twenty minutes drive! But we’re big time CO² savers!
Once we get there we spot the Real McKenzies, chillin’ and playing guitars under a tent. It’s pouring rain all around. We join the good company and beer after beer we accept the stormy weather.

At least it stops in the evening, letting us party and enjoy Pela’s Dj set…

The next morning, partly because life is good, partly because it can’t always suck, the sun is shining and the session is finally ON.

Many people, many tricks, many beers.. As always, a great day; Bonassi’s ramp, GroS on the mic, pork ribs like there’s no tomorrow, and of course some healty skateboarding.
Ivan Federico shockingly nailed 20 or so kickflip melons on the extension, as well as Daniele Terminator Galli landing perfection almost every time. Then we enjoyed watching Marcos the Brazilian with some crazy crowd pleasers, Basilico showing the youngsters he’s still got those moves, Stanco’s riding, the Roma connection’s skating (Milo, Nikolai and Peppe the Gipsy), local Andrea Jimmy Cantù gets best trick with a Pivot Fakie on the Burn fridge that screams danger!

First place Marcos Gabriel da Silveira, second Ivan Federico, third Daniele Galli. Jimmy makes 500 euros with the burn best trick and takes us all to a sushi restaurant! Way to go Jimmy!

Italpark is an indoor skatepark, a blessing in this rainy times! Placed in the basement of the Italmark mall in Villanuova sul Clisi, Brescia. It’s easy to reach and just to give you an idea of the good intentions behind the project, let me just say the admission fee for a day of skateboarding is only 1€.

Take a look at this video report for the last edition.

Julien Benoliel, kickass bowlrider and marseille local (the two things often coincide) just got into the Warriors family.

Actually a few months ago, watching him at the ISPO in Munich as he was getting tattooed the warriors bat/logo on his neck, i thought he might fancy the Lugano crew, captained by Yari Copt ;).

This is his welcome video. Enjoy.

Here’s the report of a nice weekend visit to Lupi, a.k.a. Raúl Lupiáñez Martinez, spent between Girona and Barcellona. Besides el Guapo de Girona i was accompanied by Andreo Lopes, Marcin Solecki (R.I.P.) and Dare, filmer and Lupi’s roommate in Barcy. Enjoy!

Very good news from this august! Two brand new Lazy Riders just arrived on this planet. I’m talking about Mattia Molnar‘s daughter and Marco Lambertucci‘s son.

Great job everybody and welcome to Giulia and Jonathan!
