C-BOWL

Things were different in 1984; we skated this pool 'cause it was all there was. We mooched everything: beer, boards, broads… We didn't care. We skated it all day. Boards lasted a year and shit. Cambridge pool, 1976—still going. What you got, bitches?

Welcome to our newly re-vamped website. There's a new video page that indexes all of our web videos. Peep last month’s mag in our new online mag section. Want to contribute? Send us overview photos of your local skatepark if we don't already have it in our directory. You can also contribute to the mag with your photos, letters, and lists of fives. Take a look around; we've been working on it for a while.
Now the fun can begin...

HALLOWEEN CONTEST

Ok, so we're gonna do another costume contest this year. Send in your best Halloween costume photos and the best ones will be posted on the site.

SJ SLAPPY DAY

Took the Beer Slave vid down to San Jose for a premiere at the Caravan that Jai hooked up. Got a couple slappies in with Jason Adams before the brews went down.
