McLovin' & Skateslate
I knew him when. skatehousemedia: Be sure to pick up the new Skate[slate] magazine. With a 6 page spread on Skatehousemedia the magazine appears to be a step in the right direction. Not to mention it has pictures taken by Skatehousemate Maxwell Dubler and words by Marcus Bandy. McLovin’ loves it, but it was a little too much for our buddy Aki.

Skateboarders aim to flip commuter bans →
skateandcreate: Skateboarding is returning to its roots: rolling around.  There will always be handrail and stair sessions, but the majority of skateboarders are just trying to get from one place to another while enjoying the ride.  Many laws which were put into effect historically wrongfully criminalize skateboarders of every age for using the roads in a reasonable manner.  Let’s overturn these...

skateandcreate: They can close a mountain for skiing… They can create an ice tunnel for bobsledding… They can build a concrete and fake grass arena for football… They can control a body of water for a regatta… They can strategically plant grass and lay sand for baseball… They can pour cement and fill it with chemical infested water for leisure… …and yet getting a road closed for skateboarding is...
