I never liked the puppets show, even if i can say that the man who moves it, needs a lot of skills. I think is more about the stories, dragon, princess….With this new one it’s gonna be a pleasure to be a puppeteer, even if you don’t kill no one!
The toy is called omni tech figure and cost 19,95. Ryan Sheckler is the first of the pro series, split in street, vert and legend. Those ones gonna cost a little bit more and you can vote your favorite skater and put him on the team.

Those who believed Bali was just a surf location have to finally change mind, as two concrete bowls were recently built (a third one is in the make) and there’s also a secret indoor miniramp with pool coping… i’ve found out through rokma who really liked it there, and decided to stay for a while.

On Dezeen I bumped into this project that Adam Wojtalik, an architecture student, has proposed for the Delft University of Technology’s Faculty of Architecture that has been destroyed by fire in 2008. If ever built, would this become a new challenge for Danny Way?

A couple of thursdays ago the Antiz riders paid a visit to the bastard bowl in Milano while on tour with their italian distributor blast!

The Antiz guys took on tour a finnish hobo guest that happened to be Samu Karvonen.

Last night i witnessed an exeptional reunion of the old school scene: Billy Runaway came for a visit, he was a pro skater for Madrid in the 80s and a potojournalist for Thrasher in those years. The welcome team was so composed: Max Bonassi, Alex Colombi, Claudio “Jep” Bernardini and Andrea Paulicelli. These old folks hadn’t seen each other in 21 years, surprise! Alex had first met Billy in Milan back in ’85, and soon introduced him to Bonassi who was craving for a consulence for building a vert ramp in Monza.

To celebrate, we sat at the fish restaurant right next door and popped some corks… After a 3 hours food fest we went up to the bastard bowl, but we suffered from the digestion along with the wine effects and a few more years on our shoulders… Too old to skate? Maybe not, infact Jep and Bonassi did represent with their skating as much as they could, but maybe i’m “too old to take action photos everyday”, eheh! So i decided to only post their mugshots, and since i started skating in the 80s, those are the faces that inspired me to join the four wheels and a board world… All the best to Billy and his young company skate company, and I thank him for a little industry talk, that done with the right people is never boring! See you next time, hoping it doesn’t take another 21 years!
