The cover of this beautiful issue of PURE Skateboarding and eight pages inside are dedicated to Marcin Solecki.
Other than the Issuu version, browsable online, you can download the pdf file [7,2 MB] and at bastard store – and 249 other stores in Italy – some original copies are available… I mean printed, on paper.
Here below the customized shades by Olimpia Zagnoli, Scarful and Cento Canesio for the Art Shade Expo at bastard store.
Olimpia brings her colorful universe, overpainting every corner of her BPM shade, including lenses.
Scarful worked on the surface, drilling and digging a pair of Detroit with a Dremel and other sharp tools.
Cento Canesio gave birth to a bicolor version of the Hardknox, applying his iconography on it through a thin black marker on gray spraypaint.
An unbeatable remedy against the summer heat is taking off from the cities and hide for a week at Positivity Camp, in the enchanting Siedel glacier in Val Formazza, on the border between Italy and Switzerland.
It takes a good two hours walk to reach hut 3A, site of the camp. At Positivity you live the mountain life, you sleep in a mountain shelter dormitory to wake up in the morning enjoying the park with private skilift and you have Lollo Barbieri giving snowboard lessons. All of this without annoying lines for cablelines and whatnot, sweet…
By popular demand bastard sponsored afternoon snack comes back, on Saturday June 18th at hut 3A.
Positivity is a no profit camp and the proceeds mainly go to OMG, that manages the hut and invests in social activities in Italy and Latin America.

Warriors Skateboards, our favorite Lugano crew, announces with this trailer the upcoming release of their last video project Come Out To Skate. By knowing them and through this preview we know it’s gonna be hammer time… Watching this reminded me a little of Zero videos: they litterally make you hold your breath in between gnar tricks and gnar slams.
Since they have an active collaboration with the bastard JAMMIN’ Warriors Skateboards, on issue 26 of the bastard CataZine there is an article on them. Browsing through it you can come across, besides a few tasy images, the words of Yari Copt, deus ex machina of Warriors Skateboards, who shares his vision of the present skateboard business scenario.
On Thursday June 10th, 6pm to 9pm, Electric presents Art Shade Expo at the bastard store in Milano.
Pick three artists, give’em a pair of Electric shades each and wait for their own custumize version.
The artists we picked for the italian edition are Olimpia Zagnoli, Scarful and Cento Canesio.
The new Moove Skatepark will be unveil Saturday June 5th, 2010.
Last Saturday, May 29th, a Memorial skatejam was held at the Cinecittà Skatepark in Rome to say goodbye to our friend Marcin Solecki, prematurely departed on May 14th, 2010.
The event wants to be annual, and i really hope it does make it every year, and that the participation will be massive and fervent as it was for this first edition.
It’s been a good day, a success, an occasion to meet old friends and find out new ones, cheering each other up. Skateboarding has always had a social cohesive factor in the lives of many of us, and so it was for Marcin. I was moved to see people i wasn’t even expecting to be there, and i was moved by the awesome murale that the Black Hand, his crew, dedicated to him at the skatepark entrance. Marcin was a true friend and an inspiration to me, and i think he was to many of the people that were there Saturday.
A big thank you to everybody that attended the jam.
The four dudes above are Greg Nowick, Andy Scott, Josh Young and Jake Collins, aka the Vans team UK that ripped for two days straight the “Vans Off the wall spring classic” miniramp.
Having to kill some time before boarding their flight back to the UK out of Milan, they squeezed in a skate session at the bastard bowl delighthing us with their sweet british style.
Cinetown Skatepark, via Stabilini, Roma
Saturday, 29th May from 3 pm
