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?”

Last week we had the pleasure to host a terrific session in the bastard bowl. Chris Gregson and Mason Merlino with Joey Martin, sales manager at Unheard, shred all the well-know spots from Varazze to Milano. Obviously they swung by  the bastard bowl for a night session with Jacopo Carozzi, Aref Koushesh and Ivan Federico.

On May 14th 2010 we lost a strong skater but above all a beloved and sincere friend .

Marcin’s friends organize yearly the “Marcin Day”, an occasion for rembembering Marcin Solecki in his favorite way: skate, music, bbq and writing!

Follow the facebook event page link for all the info.

We don’t need to add anything to the Zamoc speech, it well describes Alvvino. We only want to say that he’s the designer of the Glorious t-shirt.

Daniel Cuervo, Steve Caballero, Giorgio Zattoni, Eddie Elguera, Jocke Olsson e Joshua Rodriguez are the official Z-Team. JIMMY’Z wants to make it right!

GZatt is so inspired by the Combi lines… we got this from the pen drawing below that we found on some shipping documents in the warehouse!

It’s going to be fun this Saturday, May 11th at the Vans Pool Party in the Combi. If you are not in Orange you can follow the event on the live web streaming.

The historical brand Jimmy’z, founded in Malibu California by Jim Ganzer in 1984, has finally arrived here at bastard store and at a small number of selected dealers in Italy.

It all started with an idea particularly innovative system of short pants with a Velcro waist closure called EZ-IN, EZ-OUT – hence the ‘Z at the end of the name Jimmy – sold on the beaches of Malibu from the trunk of a Buick Woody.

Skaters, surfers, artists and musicians such as Steve Olson, Dave Hackett, Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Eric Dressen, Natas Kaupas, Sergie Ventura, Dave Duncan, Scott Oster, Vince Klyn, J. Riddle, Jack Nicholson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ry Cooder and Phillip Dixon have contributed to the success of the brand and many of them continue to do so today. If you missed the 80s and the 90s or you were simply distracted, take a look at the online portfolio and read the interview with Jimmy on Opening Ceremony to understand what we’re talking about.

“I think the highest artistic expression is made ​​up of ideas and states of mind, not only objects” – JIMMY GANZER

Here in Europe, Giorgio Zattoni and Jocke Olsson are officially in the Z-Team … Follow them next week at the Combi Bowl Vans Pool Party!
