Daniele Galli is now a member of the Blast! Krew, riding for Almost. Check out his welcome video filmed and edited by Andreo Lopes.

Now there are two Lazy Riders riding for Blast!; Daniele joined Marco Lambertucci who is riding for Blind skateboards, also distributed by them. Watch him go out loud in the video report of the Blast meeting at the Seregno Skateplaza.

Blast! is also the italian distributor for Warriors Skateboards that realized the collaboration with the bastard Jammin’ Warriors clothing line.

Some time ago the producer of VBS TV Chris Gross came visit us, as he was collecting material to make a documentary on the history of skateboarding in Europe, and for the Italian chapter has asked us, among others, for some help.

Thanks to the support of Stefano Pomogranato and Vans Italy finally we can see all 5 episodes that narrate a part of our history, a part because clearly when the whole movement started, there were not only Milan and Rome, there was Turin with the Nelzi brothers, Zampa and Pantaleoni, Genoa with the Contati brothers, there was Verona with Ugolini and Tabacchi …
In these five episodes, very well done, we’re taken on a journey through the history and evolution of skateboarding in Italy from the origins to present times; from the first ollies to the golden years of Giorgio Zattoni, all the way to the bastard bowl, going through Milano Centrale.

In the first two episodes Papik Rossi, Ale Martoriati, Alessandro Gargiulo and Mirai Pulvirenti talk about Roma… Unmissable Mirai on the psycological bump.

• part 1 / 5
• part 2 / 5

The third episode is about the beginnings of the professional career of Giorgio Zattoni. Story told by Giorgio himself with a little bit of melancholy.

• part 3 / 5

The last two episodes deal with Milano with tales from the Giordano bros, Jep, Max Bonassi and Gros.

A few days ago Lupi sent me this video as an appetizer to show me what he is doing in Spain.
With the Nomad team they are in fact going to start filming for the next video, a sort of tour that will involve all their riders and see them in the most famous spots in Spain and beyond.
As usual, the soundtrack of the video of Lupi rocks.

Winter in Italy, altough quite mellow, for us, spoiled italian skaters, is always a bit of a special season, cold and adverse weather conditions prevent the daily practice. That’s when somebody comes out with the idea of using somebody’s father’s warehouse, that can become a nice spot with everything you need for a fun sesh.
The spot is Andy’s warehouse in Pesaro and the footage is from young filmer Van Khokhlo. Good Job Sbrauser! 

Here’s some nice powder footy and various impressions on Riding Pow in Eu, the new podcast episode of the Pirates Movie Production. It also features Lukas Goller who, besides riding for the Pirates also expressed his creativity in several graphic illustrations over the last few years.

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.

The new video for dumb skateboards, with whom bastard has in the fall clothing collection a jeans model and a t-shirt, is now available online.

Too dumb To Quit is too good and full of meaning to stop us from the direct download of these 333 megabytes of pure skateboarding fun.

The video is available directly on the website dumbskateboards.com

It just come out the new song of our friends Nina Zilli with Giuliano Palma. This is just the first single. Music and lyrics are by Nina. The album, produced by Universal, will come out at the end of August and it will be a dope! Keep an eye on this girl, you will hear a lot about her!

The Smoke came out last year with on of the best reggae records I have in my collection… no cheating! You know what I’m talking about if ever had the chance to listen to Routes.

Waiting for a new record to hopefully come out soon, here an occasional live video of Wasn’t it You at Radio Popolare.
