Craig.. Great to hear from you. Shed some light on Skate Ripper. How many issues did you make, how big was the circulation, how, how, how?

ZIne production used to be a huge hassle. It still is, but in differnt waysa I guess. The standards are higher.

Thanks for the coverage. The mag was published by me in fall of 81. Wish we had internet then...it took me an entire month to type, layout, print and publish what kids can do in a weekend now.

I was 21 then -- it was a great time as the San Jose skate scene came out of the skateparks and took to the streets. Craig S. Ramsay
