it's been a while since i've done proper reviews for skateboarding magazines and honestly these are all personal opinions as i have my rights to have opinions, no? anyway, here goes nothing.
shiftymag. - december 2009 volume 1 issue #7
got this as a gift from a friend when he visited kuala lumpur, malaysia. inside this thin slab of english language magazine from malaysia are interviews with joey, who's claimed as "king of handrail" in malaysia's skate scene, mario from bali, indonesia and e, who runs cloth & clef. also a band interview with malaysia's pop band, black coffee honey. a bunch of news and reviews and the same ol' shenanigans. great photography inside this issue and that's the only good thing i can say about this mag. what cracks me up every time i read this magazine is the "mail box" section. fuckin' silly arse questions!the skateboard mag issue 72 march 2010
the year's best am: tyler bledstone. blah blah blah! don't fancy this particular periodical personally and i got it for free in the mail, well, sorta. go check it out yo'self and april's issue is already out in the local book stores. bleah!thrasher magazine february 2010 - issue
#355
since i did not receive my subscribed copy in the mail, i had to go all outta the way to look for this one, since i hate missin' an issue of thrasher magazine. unfortunately, i was told that converse's "prevent this tragedy" dvd which was supposed to be included with this particular issue was for us' residents only. fuck that! anyway, what else is there to say about thrasher magazine? this issue is fuckin' bad ass and i stayed up all night reading this issue as well as march's issue, both at the same time. beat that suckas! hahaha! anyway, thrasher magazine, the magazine so to speak, can never go wrong!
thrasher magazine march 2010 - issue #356
got this in the mail. read above about what i have to say about thrasher magazine. another bad fuckin' ass issue! never fails to make me enthuse to look forward for the next issue. april's issue is out and i can't wait for it to arrive in the mail. can i say, stoked? yes, i can!poweredge - number two 2010
so damn stoked when i saw this at a local borders book store. a li'l expensive but what do i expect? it fuckin' borders! all imported magazine are expensive there, when this one clearly states that it cost 3.99usd above the barcode. maybe i should subscribe to poweredge as well (?). i'll see how that goes. anyway, inside this not so thick issue are interviews with the hale and gray brothers, willy santos (yes, what ever happened to him? he's still shreding in the dark!), ben schroeder, deer man of darkwoods/the barrier kult (hell fuckin' yeah!) and a double interview with norman woods & derek "ghost" burdette. a hilarious article call,"hey man can i sleep under the ramp?", lol! tons of random skateboarding photography and the usual shit you find in other skate mags. i am very glad that poweredge ressurected. 'bout fuckin' time!ollie - 11 - 2009 #127
if only i can read japanese, i'd do a long write up about this thick slab of a magazine. but since i can't understand a single word, i'd just describe to y'all about this one, a'ight? it's a steet fashion cum skate come music crossover magazine. tons of great skate fashion photography and "stuff". this magazine is very consumer based, it makes me wanna buy, buy, buy clothes but no, i'm not gonna do that! it's a very "street jack" kinda magazine for the hip, cool and trendy kooks out there who are into street and skate fashion but can't do a simple fuckin' ollie, if you know what i mean (?). ha! but honestly, i picked this up just 'cause it comes with a vans knapsack premium and that's about that. fuckin' superficial, i know. ha?go google these magazines to find out more.
peace.
