Unintentionally monopolizing this blog, Giorgio Zattoni just sent us the video below that has been shot during his first visit at the bastard bowl in Milan. Unapproachable.
Thanks to Thomas Pilani for the video and to Giorgio for the Frankie Hill deck he was riding that day.
The future for this 14yo my-tshirt-is-bigger-than-me kid was learning McTwist and being an electrician. Yes, he reached (and went over) his first hope as you will see at the exhibition for the XX anniversary of his skateboarding history.
However, we can say, that’s the same even for the second one: somehow he light it up!
Where? At Bonolabo, via Centofanti 79 – Ravenna – Italy [map link]
When? On 5-6-7 January 2013.
As we just started at COMVERT a collaboration in Italy with JIMMY’Z, we thought that an italian skater would be necessary to represent at best.
Welcome to the family Giorgio!
p.s. the action was recently certified by Hosoi and Cab!
Thanks to HARDCHEESE for the video editing and Marco Golfieri for the filming. To know more about JIMMY’Z in Italy write to jimmyz@comvert.com
We are pleased to host the premiere of the first skate movie by Murder: Generation Waste.
Filmed in various locations among which Italy, French, Spain and Germany.
On Wednesday, December 5th from 6,30 pm, we will enjoy the vision of Generation Waste at the bastard store.
Hurry up, seats are limited!
After the screening, skate session at bastard bowl with Murder team riders and friends.
Christian Hosoi, Tony Alva, Steve Caballero and Giorgio Zattoni. It’s not the X-Games legends roaster: these are simply the riders that participated to the most unbelievable session ever at the bastard bowl.
Hosoi, who’s always been the king of style , shows us he’s still in an incredible shape. He’s almost too good to be true. He rides as if time has frozen. Pure legend.
Today it’s Nicola Giordano‘s turn to show us his bastard clothes selection for a skateboarding winter.
When you think about Afghanistan it is almost inevitable to avoid thinking about war and religious fanatism. But once you know about Oliver Percovich’s work your thought can start to change. Oliver is an australian skateboarder that has been able to see more than a piece of urban furniture in the Mekroyan Fountain (Kabul). He saw even more than some transitions ready to be ridden. He had a vision about how to use skateboarding as a tool to transform the way of life in a city destroyed by years of war and extreme religious beliefs and he founded Skateistan in 2007; a social project all about education, art, social integration and skateboarding.
Nowadays Skateistan is a reality with a pretty interesting future. Its history, current and future projects are all in Skateistan: The Tale of Skateboarding in Afghanistan. An amazing bunch of really interesting material, interviews, reportages and a lot of nice pictures.
Locum is a short documentary on skateboarding directed by Van Khokhlov, italian language with english subtitles. Length 31′.
Some remember the Concussion magazine run by Jonathan Hay. Occasionally you would get it at some skateparks around the world and you couldn’t not appreciate the contents and the flavor, really similar to the first Thrasher issues.
Since a while Jonathan gave life to Confusion, that here in Italy is was almost impossible to find… now every new issue is available in Italy at the bastard store for 4 euro. It’s worth all of them. Read the rest of this entry »
