As I just posted to our facebook page, I'm very pleased with the content of this issue. I'm pretty happy with my layout. I'm very disappointed in my editing. I missed so many things, and even seemed to create misspellings and problems where there were none. My apologies to anyone I accidentally screwed up. I hope you will enjoy the issue despite the flaws.

Duane Peters, Skate Rock, Me
As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, Thrasher Magazine's Skate Rock Tour came through Memphis on Wednesday, and I loved it. To see that many top notch pros at a local spot was awesome. Heck, to see that many people at a local spot was awesome. The skating was great, and the envelope was pushed to new levels (see video).
It seems that as they moved south toward Jackson (their next official stop) they picked up an impromptu music gig at a place in Oxford. From what I understand, things didn't go so smoothly in Oxford. In fact, there was quite a bit of online noise about the gig. Negative things have been said about both the skate/music crew coming through town, and about the Mississippi natives.
I'm not going to join up with either side on this. I just have something I'd like to point out:
The skater in the video below is Duane Peters. His nickname is the Master of Disaster. He has fronted tons of punk bands including "The Exploding Fuck Dolls" and "U.S. Bombs." It is rumored that he is the person who first came up with the term Thrasher that was adopted both in name and theme by the magazine.
Part of me would love to see skateboarding be a squeaky clean activity that I could go out on weekends and do with my son. And, in fact, it can be just that. I think of a good friend of mine who has brought so much positive media to the local scene by being himself: a father, a skater, a caring citizen. However, we can't ignore the history of skating. Skateboarding was and is a sport for the misfit that doesn't fit in with the team mentality. It is an individual sport that smears the line between sport and art. It has reveled in a rebel image since the first young skaters were banned from riding the first skateboards. It continued through the punk rock heyday when the name Thrasher was born. It was the refuge of the small town weirdo kids in the 80's.
And finally, the rest of the world caught on that skating is amazing.
But we're still the misfits.
I'm not condoning behavior. I'm just pointing out history, and let's just say the name "Bad Shit" might just be a clue that this ain't gonna be Rodney Mullen doing a freestyle demo in short shorts and knee pads.
