by vecho 27 January 2014

Here we go with the new bastard outfit that will accompany Nicola Giordano during his long summer.

Every time Nicola come visit us he teach us a new word from the urban dictionary. Today’s word is Brenso.

BreNso = Breve ma Intenso ( short but intense)

Short but intense, as Nicola do stomping a perfect bs noseblunt after 10 minutes training.

Ride Channel has just published the video of the Gumball 3000 tour with Tony Hawk, Aaron “Jaws” Homoki and Corbin Harris, around in Europe with a stop at the bastard store to skate the bowl… and leave just after.

Occhi puntati on Matteo Di Nisio

by jep 27 January 2014

Last friday we went to the Punkreas show playing in their home town, Parabiago, near Milano were they started 24 years ago. Was a pleasure to hear the song Occhi puntati played with their former drummer “Mastino”. Super respect!

Hey, in year 2000 here at bastard we used that song for web clip of one of the greatest italian street skaters ever: Matteo Di Nisio.

Video quality is just so bad… who cares, this is what we saved from old harddisks.

What’s up with GZat?

by jep 27 January 2014

If you were wondering like me… here we have some answers: while Tony Hawk was stopping with some friends in Milan for a memorable session with us, Giorgio was going to his ramp to refresh some tricks. Switch mctwist.

He just sent in this clip and informed us that he will spend some more time in California and this coming weekend he will skate at a demo organized by Vans for the Metallica’s Orion Fest in Detroit. If you are around you know what’s the plan for the weekend!

Along came Tony Hawk.

We like surprises… And the one we received on Friday afternoon was particularly appreciated.

“Hello? I’m Tony Hawk, we are one hour by car far from Milan… Is it possible to skate the bastard bowl today?”
