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.

Punkreas is the quintessential italian punk band.

Celebrating twenty years of the band, Canapa Dischi (Hemp Records) releases a DVD with their first three Lps, video interviews, archival pictures and two unreleased videos.

While we wait for our own copy, we can at least enjoy the Jammin’ Punkreas clothing line, entirely made with hemp, or reading the punkreas interview on bastard CataZine #26.

We made this video for the Zamoc show at the bastard store. Here he explains why the title La Nebbia – italian word for The Fog –

The painting that he and his friend Luca Lattuga left on the wall of the bookcase get our respect!

Warriors Skateboards proudly announces its first presence at the ISPO tradeshow in Münich (Germany) from February 7th through February 10th, Hall A2 – Booth 348A.

You will find the Warriors just behind the MiniRamp, so that you will easily enjoy the runs of Igor Fardin, Kevin Blaser and Martino Cattaneo.

The warriors will have a little booth with many surprises… need anticipations? Pirate Bar with free drinks for all visitors, tatoo area with pirate girls ready to tatoo Warriors logos all over the place, and last but not least, Warriors WAR OF THE WALL contest, on the wallride build by IOU Ramps with whom we had a collabo out in FW 2009.

Besides these tasty entertainment sessions, Warriors will be presenting the skate series Myths, 5 artists for 5 decks inspired by mythological creatures, and the new bastard Jammin collection FW 2010, of which we offer a peep preview below.

Last wednesday at the COMVERT Hq we really tested the Milano showroom with the Launch Party #27, that showcased bastard and Electric products for Fall Winter 2010, dedicated to retailers, distributors, sales reps, collaborators and friends.

The showroom will be open everyday on appointment for sales, starting next week. The only missing ingredient is now a ‘Showroom Manager’, and for this purpose we’re examining the last curricula that get submitted to us through the job opportunity posted here (italian language required).

Who’s the man behind Rise Above? Marcello Crescenzi, profession graphic designer in Rome, tells about himself in this short video interview (only in italian, sorry english speakers) for the opening of his personal show at bastard store. Childhood passions and strong ideas as a background to the Rise Above project allowed him to be The Future of the Past. Let’s give a quick peep at his version.

Exclusively at the bastard store, arriving in the next few days the Pouff Daddy, bean bag made of the same proven ripstop material of the bastard cargo line, produced now for over ten years.

The filling is a special mixture of virgin pearls in expanded polystyrene that makes it very light other than comfortable. The Lining is 100% stonewashed cotton and available in different solid colors or in camouflage with origami patterns.
