Stoops Issue 12 (DIY Issue) is now available!
So I've been doing this magazine for 9 years now and you would think I would have streamlined the process for releases, but being that it is still mostly a one person operation over here with no real industry support or ad dollars, I'm still just doing my best. Each issue hinges on whatever time and money I have to throw into it with hopes of breaking even but mostly coming to terms with the reality that I am spending what others may spend on mortgages, or cars, or alcoholism to put out a skateboarding publication for my own sanity, grasping for a sense of purpose, and for the few of you actually appreciate it. One day I will come to my senses and give it up, but for now, it is somehow still moving along with no drop in quality. And while I know this seems like a pity party of one over here, it is really my segue into the theme of the new issue. Issue 12 has a Do-It-Yourself theme where we explore the concept of creating spots out of nothing. Just as I am creating a magazine with my own resources, accepting the loss of funds to produce something that brings me joy, skateboarders have been doing this for years. Every spot built by skaters using their own hard earned money has no monetary pay off but brings them joy, as well as netting some happiness for others who get to enjoy using the product of that labor. This issue explores the DIY mentality in skateboarding and its importance.

#523 Side Effect a Northrop Mall-nál
videó: 02:02 perc
Újabb jó cucc az egyik kedvenc mikro brand-ünktől, ráadásul a Village Psychic oldalán. Reméltük, hogy nem telik el úgy év, hogy ne kapnánk valamit a Side Effect-től. Ebben a videóban egyetlen spot-ot vesznek ostrom alá. Bár máskor és máshol is történt már ilyen, valahogy a Side Effect videókban ez nem tűnik fel elsőre. Olyannyira nem, hogy az előző filmjük teljesen egy skatepark-ban készült, ami nem anniyra menő, de egyáltalán nem jött le róla, csak többszöri megnézés után tűnt föl. Szuper a deszkázás és szerencsére szuper zenéket használnak, hogy garantált legyen a megfelelő életérzés.
filmezte: Dan Rusin
bedeszkázták: Ty Stigney, Jasper Steinbach, Max Murphy, Ben Narloch és Dalton Jones
