Tony Hawk loves Carlsbad/Encinitas
Wheelhouse Media publishes Carlsbad Magazine and Encinitas Magazine, two free publications serving the needs of their respective communities. Communities, it turns out, that have identical needs in some cases. They both published essentially the same feature on Tony Hawk, until you get to the last couple of paragraphs where they explore what Tony loves about Carlsbad, his long time haunt, or Encinitas his relatively new digs. Some cool photos from Grant Brittain, check out that tweaked air. You can read them online or view them in their original layouts. Don’t bother to download the “offline edition.” For some annoying reason they have chosen a proprietary flash reader with assorted clumsy files. Ever heard of a PDF? Also, you”ll need an email address to read the pretty versions. Seriously guys? Could the whole thing be any more intrusive? They don’t even tell you what they are going to do with the email. At least they gave each magazine a separate layout.
My girlfriend’s parents live in Encinitas and are always talking it up because they want us to move there. Last time they came to visit, her mom left that mag on the coffee table. I found it and read the article one night when I stumbled home from a bar. I like Tony Hawk, but it didn’t do anything to help her cause.
Is that a frontside hurricane? It looks like it from here. A criminally underrated trick – particularly if sliding. I would kill to see a front hurricane through a corner at Pier. I bet Hawk has that. I bet Benji has that.
