Skatestopland!

Pier 7
I know this isn't some profound revelation, just observations I made. But after a few days in SF this weekend, I'm beginning to wonder if it's the most skate-proofed city in the world. For those of you who don't know SF too well, all these spots are pretty close to one another all along the water.
Best shit I've read in a while...

I'm not here to start or drag out the blank board debate...but in my opinion, after seven or so years as a skateshop manager/buyer and another seven (some overlapping the shop days) writing in the "industry," MrCokesNSmokes nailed it here, then again about halfway down the page here.

"Be a part of the new America. Be a part of the Blitzkrieg"
-Nick Kuzmak, October 1997
Here's an old 'zine I found packed away in my box of "special stuff" not too long ago. My boy Nick in NJ used to make it. Genius if you ask me. He had a videoo camera and a computer with internet access before nearly anyone I knew and somehow figured out how to make this fucking thing. Ironically, he was busy making 'zines 10 years ago and I was the one that ended up being the writer/editor. Weird. I think two issues of The Blitzkrieg came out before he gave up to hook up his Civic with VCRs and video monitors. So Fast and Furious of him. I'm trying to bring it back. The Blitzkrieg revival is near!
