Bad egg, #5.

This is another kick-ass issue featuring backyard skate spots and wrapped in a silk-screened cover. I think this one is a bigger size than previous issues, but I might be hallucinating. The photos and writing are tight, and the attitude is right. Two things I gotta point out: despite the fact that the name of the person who does this is Ash, I didn't know that he was actually a she, which is rad on more than a few levels. Not only does it appear that she rips, but so do the people in the mag (ie, not a lot of under-the-coping shots), and it's not a girl power trip thing that sometimes limits the appeal of other mags. Second, they are getting a bowl building project in Bennet, CO, and need some donations to make it happen. You can sponsor a tile for as little as $40. Just write to Coloradoskateparks.com. For the 'zine, send $3 to 1456 Syracuse Street, Denver, CO 80220
