bastard blog

Filmer Sergio Minnici just put on his vimeo this video. He called it  Piece of Bauli and if you know Marco Lambertucci you must watch it, if not… well check it out.

Madrid based skateshop Welcome has published this video with the Nomad family.  First and last trick by Lupi.

Issue 24 of the bastard CataZine is out now! On the back cover Gros Obama/Obey version. Ignorance does not age well! This issue features Spaghetto Child, dumb skateboards, Pink Is Punk, Tetris Effect, the Ciboh’s girls and Amen. Four pages dedicated to Ricky Fiorentini, the pencil behind our skull, and a focus on its evolution throughout the years.

Anything else? oh yeah, eight juicy pages dedicated to the newborn bastard bowl with unpublished skate flicks of Giorgio Zattoni and Edo Paris. What you waiting for?

Hurry to the  bastard store to grab your copy.

! CataZine #24 is our first catalog printed on FSC certified paper.

The roman seaside just charmed me somehow, it might be the good air and the abundance of pork sandwiches; there is a something out there that just gets me all relaxed. So I teamed up with Edo Paris and went back for more, visiting our rider Nikolai Danov, now fully recovered from his ankle injury and in full operative mode with the newborn “Combo Skateshop”.
Witnessing him finally on the job almost made me cry; tell his mom about it!! Read the rest of this entry »

The bastard bowl Shop Session (yes, it is a tongue-twister) is a day where the retailers from a a particular italian region come and visit our HQ along with some of their team riders. Last sunday a group of friends from Veneto showed up with our sales rep Checco Ugolini. Sloth from Vicenza, Secret Spot from Jesolo, Rider House from Padova, and Cubical from Thiene. They all came along with a few riders, and together with Daniele Galli, Amen, Andrea Vecchi and Max Bonassi threw down a good session. Here are some pics.

Our danish friends at skateboard.dk just published a report with some pics of Milano. Above Amen with his classic Anti Gravity Ass transfer at Lambro Skatepark. Simon Bressendorff sent us this video we are happy to share.

Here in bastard we celebrated Amen with this teeshirt e this bandamen.

Our friends Andrea & Nico finally comes out with a brand new EP.

We have been there for their most recent discographic commitments while working on the new bastard capsule collection so, what else to say? Congratulations!

Can’t wait for the next PINK IS PUNK live here in Milano..

..and it seems we don’t have to wait too much cause they’ll present live Friday the 15th of May at Magazzini Generali – second level!

In the while you could check their  news page or our surfwear.

Good luck dudes!

On Interni 53, special issue attached to Panorama, they just published a review on COMVERT HQ. On the two pages by Anita Martinelli, let alone a couple of tiny mistakes, we can see three nice photos of Giuliano Berarducci. For you, trustee readers of this blog, I believe COMVERT HQ has no more secrets, but in attachment you have the fuori salone guide, which lists events, parties and whatever else is of interest during Salone del Mobile 2009. See you around for an appletini toast!
