This is the end

my beautiful friends. The end.

Of this blog anyway.

It has served me well. It inspired a 'zine that inspired a book, but now it is time to move on.

As of Monday April 1st, luchaskate.com will no longer be a blog, but will be the luchaskate 'zine (static) website. Luchaskate IS NOT going away. This blog, however, will disapear.  I have too many things going on in my life to continue this part of the project with any regularity. Somethng needed to go, and this is it.

Thank you to everyone who has helped support the blog. It has truly been a great stepping stone into the publishing game.

Another Project complete

The book, Common Criminals, is being printed as I type this. Another big project completed. The book is filled with skate stories. How various skaters got started, meeting pros, first pool sessions, skating with legends and on an and on...

You can get your copy here: Common Criminals or you can get a digital copy on Amazon for just 2.99.

The cover of the new book!

The writers included are Jeff Haynes (of Jeff's Skate Page fame), Kim Cook (of the gayocean blog), Lindsey Rowland (often featured in the pages of luchaskate), myself, Kent Senatore (our lone pro skater story) etcetera etcetera.

I wrote half of this book and then included stories from other lifer skaters to round out the perspectives. They all did a wonderful job. I'm proud of how this book turned out. I can't thank them enough for their energy and time.  Pick up a copy and get stoked not only on skating, but on the people who skate as well.
