If you are so lazy to not even find the time for a visit in via Scipio Slataper 19, Milano – even now that we have the ISTRIA subway stop on the M5 line – at least you can take an online virtual tour of the bastard store… click on the small square at top right of the image and check it out.

Sure, you can always buy our stuff on the web, but that’s not the same.

P.S. If in the virtual tour you find my beloved Penny skateboard that I lost, please tell me!

It’s time for the 9th edition of Un tranquillo weekend da paura, the skate contest/music festival on September 14-16 at Bonassodromo in Usmate Velate (Milan). Concerts, skateboard contest, food and drinks as usual.

At bastard store it’s the ripstop week and if you are registered for our newsletter, we offer a special promotion on our ripstop products.

Wait a moment, what is ripstop?

The basic principle of ripstop cotton is to insert a thicker and stronger cotton yarn every 6mm, so that, in case of tearing, the cut cannot expand. This weaving technique makes the product stronger, enhancing durability without giving up an inch on softness and comfort.

We are very attached to this fabric that is used for our Cargo pants and Amazon shorts.

From skateboarding on concrete to hiking in the woods, the bastard Cargo has proven itself and passed all conceivable comfort and durability tests. Besides being thought out for enhancing mobility, it is made with high quality ripstop cotton.

We dare you to find a better Cargo than ours, and if you do, our advice is… buy it!

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.

It’s time for the bastard store in Milano and online to start the summer *** SALES *** .

Sales start on Saturday, July 6th, with up to 30% OFF on most bastard, Jimmy’Z, Electric, Nike, Vans, Makia and Supremebeing products.

What are you waiting for?

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.

P.S. Jaws enjoyed the wooden transitions we built here in Milan pretty much and manifest it at 3:46!

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.

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!

After Nikolai Danov, today it’s Marco Lambertucci‘s turn to show us his selecta from the bastard Spring Summer 2013 collection.
