the publisher for the skateboarding revolution, adam, sent me this along with a few back issues in the mail a few weeks ago for review. inside this thin bi-lingual skateboarding magazine from malaysia are interviews with malaysian skateboarders; ja and apit from kedah. also featuring fuad’s pro(?) set up, fairuzal from penang, bank 2 bank competition review that was held at cineleisure damansara sometime back, espn summer x-games 2009, terror from los angeles, california and carpathian isolution tour. also some news, product reviews and tons of nicely shot skateboarding photographs. issue no.100 will probably be out sometime next week, so look out for that.
wow! this special edition of color magazine is big, physically! there’s so much jammed in this colourful issue and i don’t even know where to start. this issue features the next and the best of the north american skateboarding scene. amazingly good read! there are a plenty of great stuff inside this ginormous slab and all i can say is, you have to check it out for yourself. amazing, simply amazing! also just fyi, color magazine is published on recycled paper and uses soy based inks to print with. that always makes me smile and also makes me look forward for upcoming issues. color 7.4 is already out and i'm anticipating for it to hit local book stores.
another great issue by this german/european publication. this magazine covers skateboarding, lifestyle, fashion and art. interviews with skateboarders; stefan janoski and anthony van engelen. also features tons of band interviews (too many to name drop). there’re also news, product reviews and abundance of fabulous fashion and art photography. pick this issue up if and when you can!
what can i say about this one? over two hundred pages of madness! have you picked up yours yet? october’s issue is out and i have yet to grab mine. skate and destroy!
i picked this up at a mph book store in seremban, negeri sembilan, malaysia. there’re interviews with skateboarders; azreen from penang and deni tx from jakarta, indonesia. also featuring terence c about his skateboarding yester years, the opening of juice in kl, 8tv’s shout awards at bukit jalil last july, motion skate team from bali kl tour, klue’s urban scapes festival 2009 at klpac, the launch of the new push skate shop located at one utama, street horn syndicate and bangkit, malaysian’s own get up kids (pinkviolence: o rly?). some old news, product and sound reviews and well shot skateboarding photography. oh well, not too bad for a magazine that cost me rm5.50. september issue #5 is already out but i may be mistaken.
this film captured so much of what we were hoping for in the international category: a foreign location, filmmakers and skateboarders from outside the united states, and a story to be told with good skateboarding in it.
we’ve decided to make the entire film available for you here on the site if you weren’t able to see it on the big screen at the festival.
synopsis: six french skateboarders explore the country of indonesia, it’s culture, and it’s skate spots in a documentary like fashion.
taken from the skateboard film festival.
