Poweredge Magazine: It’s Alive!

Poweredge Magazine is hitting the streets again. The first new issue is scheduled to come out in August. It’s a gutsy move when other mags are getting thinner or moving to online-only presences. Hopefully there is room for another. I was a fan of Poweredge back in the day, even when I considered Thrasher the best, it was nice to have a different voices out there. Check out the covers, the last one from 1991 above left, and the new 2009 one is on the right. It would have been cool if they had Todd Congelliere reprise his cover shot for the new volume. Check out Tod in the Santa Cruz vid Risk it! after the jump.

UPDATE: I guess that’s not Todd on the old cover. I assumed it was because his interview has the biggest headline. The guy on the new cover? Dayne Brummet.

When did this thing come out originally?

    I think it came out in 1991 or 92.

  • That’s Justin Lynch on the cover. Dayne Brummet did fast plant fakie on vert.

  • Dayne Brummet rides for Skatewave. Draw your own conclusions.

  • Skatewave owns Poweredge? How’s that for a conclusion?

    nay, i am but a sputtering spazz, an epilectic wordsmith ink’d uppa octopus such squid as to plaster them pages fulla ripsnort ‘n dellamorte. . .

    anyways,
    the POWEREDGE site didn’t load good for me, its prolly my shiddyass’d puputer. . .but they seem to promote snail-mail, which are coola acause Ray Johnson one of my biggest heroes, so i’m gonna stuffa velope & send it themtheir ways…

    …but,
    i did wanna tell ’em something quicklike,
    anybody gots their proper e-mail addy by chance?

    P.S.
