Bastard store makes it to the Vans Shop Riot european finals once again. This last edition was held at the Wintherthur skatepark in Switzerland on Saturday, October 9th.

Representing bastard store Daniele Galli, Marco Lambertucci and Igor Fardin. The boys skated really good and placed fourth, which is awesome considering the very high level of the contest.
First place goes to ABS, french shop based in Annecy (really impressive!), followed by 50-50, Danny Wainwright’s legendary shop in Bristol, and third place goes to the Austrian 5boro.
Incredible best trick contest, won by Tim Zom with a backside noseblunt down the big rail.

For the second time in a row the bastard store takes first place at the italian Vans Shop Riot, held at the Jurassic Skatepark in Cesena for this edition.

Besides a 1000 euros cash prize Igor Fardin, Daniele Galli and Marco Lambertucci win tickets and accomodation for entering the european final of the Battle of the Shops.

The bastard store, well represented by Edo Paris, Daniele Galli and Marco Lambertucci, has just participated to the Vans Bash 09, the european final of the “Battle of the Shops”, held at the Zumiez skatepark in Kortrjik, Brussels.

Having won the Italy/Canton Ticino round, the lazy riders had direct access to the semifinal, but unfortunately did not go any further.

As expected, the level of the contest was top notch, and the win went to Hawaii Surf Shop from Paris, that had the craziest team, Bastien Salabanzi, Marc Haziza and Adrienne Boullart.

The Zumiez park is awesome and despite the cold that penetrated inside too, the session was shockingly amazing.

Enjoy the little gallery of videos and photos that i made, also thanks to the help of our friend Elliott Vanderbroeke, who was also our driver/fixer for the event, and found the time to also work at the shop and to take some pics. Nothern efficiency.

Yesterday the bastard store team composed by Daniele Galli, Edo Paris (bastard store manager/clerk) and Andreo Lopes (best trick of the day with a flip bs lipslide on the handrail) won it all at the Vans Shop Riot at Trinity skatepark in Milano.

The boys will fly in Bruxelles for the finals. Good job!
