In an attempt to encapsulate the freedom and exhilaration awarded by grinding wheels onto pavement, we will delve into the land surfing world of skateboarding in our 7th issue of MASSESzine!
Very much a Southern California tradition, skateboarding defined many a childhood, while influencing an entire culture based on making a playground out of anywhere with solid ground.
We take a look at the sport’s rich history, pick the minds of various personalities for a personalized view of the local skating scene, and get in touch with prominent icon in the global skateboarding scene to chat about a brand so influential to the culture, some would argue the brand itself is synonymous to skateboarding.
Vans geeks in particular are going to love this issue as we give you a series of articles covering a collection of the brand’s stylish sneakers, the shoemaker’s history from the eyes of the founder’s son, and interviews with some local Vans enthusiasts that are prominent within our niche community.
Anyway, I know I’m a little late to say this, but…Surprise! This marks the first time the foreword for an issue of MASSESzine isn’t written by our resident Buddha. He’s a little too busy bringing enlightenment with his shiny bald head, so here I am in his place.
Um… yeah. Hi!
Till next time!
