Skate Straight #8
Zine: Skate Straight
I found this in the attachments folder of a crashed email program circa 2008, I have a couple others that are missing pages. Please contact Skate and Annoy if you were the one who donated these.
Skate Straight is pretty straight forward, mostly pics, not really any written content. There is no date in the issue but I guessed 1988. The centerfold lists Mike V. as the contest winner but the 1988 video from the event lists Tommy Guerreo as the winner and Mike V. in last (25th) place, so that’s likely sarcasm, or they thought he was the deserved winner. The previous year’s Surf Ohio contest was strictly an amateur event with a pro demo. I would know, I entered it!
