Nikolai Danov endorses the new bastard spring summer 2013 clothes.
He may change his haircut, he may change his clothes but he can’t change his classic aggressive style as ever.

Daje Niko™.

spizzate sto video… (roman slang for spread this video)

Nikolai Danov

… And we do it.

Romantic is a video project by Michael Quigley, filmed in the winter of 2004 between Rome, Milan and Barcelona. It features the haydays of Roman skateboarders in the mid 2000s, among which Nikolai Danov and Marcin Solecki. This edit, although incomplete, is dedicated to his memory. Thanks Mike and keep up the good job.

Today Nikolai Danov shows us his wish list from the bastard Fall Winter 2012-13 collection.

And now, enjoy the short clip of pure skateboarding that Nikolai filmed for MC wheels.

This short but impressive clip contains 60 second of Nikolai Danov tricks and lines, filmed by his friend Stefano Federici at The Marcin Solecki skatepark (Skatepark Cinecittà) in Rome.

With long or short hair Nikolai’s skateboarding style is still the same, powerful and technical.

Daje Niko!

Nikolai Danov just decided to spend a week up here in Norhern Italy for attending the Launch Party #31 and to be able to survive the cold season by skating a little bit the bastard bowl. This is a glimpse of his latest session there.

Lazy rider Nikolai Danov is featured on the latest issue of Baco Magazine with some leftovers from his not so recent Kingpin interview.
Photographer Mirai Pulvirenti tells us how sometimes you find some memorabilia in your drawer (or hard drive) that deserve to see the light, and this was certainly the case;)

Yesterday, Nikolai Danov  won first prize at “The Chosen” contest at the Foro Italico skatepark in Rome, built exclusively for the contest.

Daje Niko!

This bastard ad was the first one of a series on italian movies… Io sto con gli ippopotami with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (1979).

It was never published but we’ve always kept the draft hanging on the wall in our offices as it was too cool and it portrays Marcin and Nikolai together.

Things start off by meeting the dirty romans Nikolai Danov and Milo Marra in Milano Centrale. Double train to Usmate, obviously it would only be a twenty minutes drive! But we’re big time CO² savers!
Once we get there we spot the Real McKenzies, chillin’ and playing guitars under a tent. It’s pouring rain all around. We join the good company and beer after beer we accept the stormy weather.

At least it stops in the evening, letting us party and enjoy Pela’s Dj set…

The next morning, partly because life is good, partly because it can’t always suck, the sun is shining and the session is finally ON.

Many people, many tricks, many beers.. As always, a great day; Bonassi’s ramp, GroS on the mic, pork ribs like there’s no tomorrow, and of course some healty skateboarding.
Ivan Federico shockingly nailed 20 or so kickflip melons on the extension, as well as Daniele Terminator Galli landing perfection almost every time. Then we enjoyed watching Marcos the Brazilian with some crazy crowd pleasers, Basilico showing the youngsters he’s still got those moves, Stanco’s riding, the Roma connection’s skating (Milo, Nikolai and Peppe the Gipsy), local Andrea Jimmy Cantù gets best trick with a Pivot Fakie on the Burn fridge that screams danger!

First place Marcos Gabriel da Silveira, second Ivan Federico, third Daniele Galli. Jimmy makes 500 euros with the burn best trick and takes us all to a sushi restaurant! Way to go Jimmy!
