bastard blog

One night i was sitting at my desk in the office and saw Nicola Giordano nailing a sweet treflip on the top flat of the bastard bowl and i went:”Kid’s damn stylish!”. Right there and then I started thinking he could be a good lazy rider.

One of the many advantages of having a bowl in the office is that you can spot new talents without leaving your workstation, but still “live action”.
No more painful youtube sessions!

Nicola is a Milano Centrale local and he’s sponsored by the homonym skate company owned by Gio Onorato that realized the capsule collection Jammin’ Milano Centrale with bastard.

Nicola shares a few impressions on the italian skate scene on the recent VBS publication Skate Europe Season two.

Marco Lambertucci, a.k.a.the Bauli, after working hard throughout springtime on “extraskate” projects, took his summer revenge, travelling around and killing it on his board as usual! He went to Belgium and The Netherlands with Nikolai Danov and Davy Van Laere to shoot photos and film, to the Grill’em All in Schnals (on the Alps) and to top it off he went out on a nice photo mission with me on the Riviera Romagnola, the area where he’s from.

And last Sunday he scored the best trick at the ninth edition of the Zucka vs. tutti, with his signature frontside kicklip shot down a quite gnarly staircase! The lazy rider went back to his hometown Riccione with a big smile on his face and a 250 euros cash prize. Bravo! Click here to watch the event report.

Nessun Dorma - GroS dormitory in Bergamo

On Baco # 38 you can read about a tour we did some time ago… 12 pages With Lupi, Bauli, Marcin and Nikolai that show a different view of Bergamo, a city next to Milano with big potential. I like a lot the comments on the pics by Mirai, that guy is very funny.
