New Issue is Available!

I just dropped off mags to Hunter at Midtown Skateshop. Go buy something from Hunter and get a copy of the magazine with your purchase!

Not in Memphis? Hunter out of copies? You can buy copies and downloads from the website. I'm so stoked that people are buying this already! We've sold more copies than I had hoped already! Thanks for your support.

Don't forget the web exclusives on luchaskate.com as well. There is an article from Moscow, more pics from Skate Rock, and Jack Carlson is our Featured Skater for this issue!

Spreading Stoke!!!

Special Thanks:

Hunter at Midtown Skateshop
Lew at Fickle Skateboards

Without those two this magazine would not have gone to print!

And now for something completely different.

What a weekend?!

Friday night we were all worried about rain, but the morning turned out great for the Push It event. Great job Kim! Unfortunately, the rain came in a couple hours in to the event and we were all forced to scatter.

Lew and the rest of the Fickle crew from Cincinnati, Ohio along with the En Joy folks didn't make it before the rain, but they did make it.  After a quick lunch we met up with the Fickle guys and En Joy at Midtown Skate Shop.

 

It was a great opportunity as Lew got to meet skate enthusiest and Lucero band member, Brian Venable. Lew, as only Lew can, told Brian about Fickle Skateboards.

When the rain stopped, the squeegee and towels came out, and then the skating started again.

And the rest of the weekend was ON FIRE!  The Fickle guys were killing it. Wrex was killing it. I nearly killed myself (just kidding, mom. Total safety first, all weekend).

Early Sunday morning. Pre-session.

Sunday brought more rippage with an appearance of Jungle out who gave us a sideways acoustic jam.

And some proper skateboarding (in a mask).

Who is that masked man!?

Posting this picture...

...because I like it.

Don't forget:  Barrier Kult Interview in the upcoming issue #5.

Less Than a Week Until Push It!

We're less than a week until the big event.  Okay, a lot of people are asking me exactly what it is so let me clear it up a bit. It is an event to get females to the skate park, and more importantly, to get them skating!!! Kim has tons of sponsors for the event including Hoopla, Fickle, and Luchaskate. We're looking forward to it!  Here is a link to facebook event page.

Also, let me just add that you can reserve a copy of luchaskate #5 featuring a Skate Rock photo spread, a Barrier Kult interview, Keith Reese of Jolly Roger fame, Wrex Cook, and a First Word by Kyle Duvall of The Parking Block Diaries...

$5.00 shipped (or hand delivered by moi in Memphis). Your five will print 2 copies so you get one and you buy one for someone else. Consider it your good deed for the year.  Just click the link to paypal it, yo!
