Zine thing.FOCUS Is this from some of the same cats responsible for Lowcard? All photos and no BS, covering mostly Northern California Northern California, sometimes referred to as NorCal, is the northern portion of the U.S. state of California. The region contains the San Francisco Bay Area, the state capital, Sacramento; as well as the substantial natural beauty of the redwood forests, the northern . There's some great stuff in there but I have to point out one thing that I could not let slide. Readers of Thrasher thrasher: see mimic thrush. thrasher Any of 17 species (family Mimidae) of New World songbirds that have a downcurved bill and are noted for noisily foraging on the ground in dense thickets and for loud, varied songs. magazine, if you don't already know, there is no such thing as a frontside indy air. It's either a frontside air, or an indy air (which is grabbing like a frontside air but going backside). It may be confusing because most tricks have backside and frontside components (boardslide, disaster, etc), but airs did not (slob, lien, and madonna are three other frontside-turning airs, and mute, indy and body jar are backside turning airs) until the advent of the stalefish or the tail grab (frontside and backside). Ollies, of course, have always been frontside or backside, but they are not grabbed. I am not 100-percent about this, and if anyone wants to dispute it write to me with proof and I will send you something good, or maybe something stupid. I need proof, remember. I bet some smartass is going to go out and start a 'zine called "Frontside Indy," Anyway, Focus is cool, send a couple bucks: 62 Bluxome, San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden , CA 94107 STORY OF MY SCAB A pejorative term used colloquially in reference to a nonunion worker who takes the place of a union employee on strike or who works for wages and other conditions that are inferior to those guaranteed to a union member by virtue of the union contract. , #8 Another collection of frantic scratchings by William ... Great pen and ink executed or done with a pen and ink; as, a pen and ink sketch s>. See also: Pen drawings collected into a 'zinc, some seemingly random/drawn from sketchbook pages, others more direct, such as his tribute to Divine, his work with a musical theme, and the pointedly asked, "What's so trippy, hippie?" There's some work with a skateboarding theme as well. Couple dollars: 24 Virginia Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110 OURS FOR TAKING, #3 This is the third installment of this North Carolina North Carolina, state in the SE United States. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean (E), South Carolina and Georgia (S), Tennessee (W), and Virginia (N). Facts and Figures Area, 52,586 sq mi (136,198 sq km). Pop. 'zine, and another fine issue. It's got an interview with a guy named Bob Suren, an old local skater/punk, and it's got a rant by him as well on music ("Only Ugly Bands Rock," "Even Crappy crap·py adj. crap·pi·er, crap·pi·est Vulgar Slang 1. Inferior; worthless. 2. Miserable; poorly. 3. Mean; contemptible. Bands Can Have One Good Song," etc). But there's plenty of other stuff as well (product reviews, questionable letters to the editor, Swinson Park coverage (RIP), "zinc reviews). There's a bizarre ode to the Bones Brigade (on how the Bones Brigade personified some skate brotherhood--huh?) and a skate gossip section (c'mon man, who cares?). Still, solid action. Send one measly measly said of beef, pork and mutton because infected meat has a speckled appearance thought to resemble measles (1) in humans. See also cysticercus. dollar: 682 Tom Mann RD, Newport, NC 28570 POOR AND FORGOTTEN, #19 Matt's back in solitary confinement--no shit--and so his 'zinc has gone back to a one-page folded out thing.

It's well put together and worth a peek or two. No permanent address for this one, you'll have to via the Interweb: beastmangoat@hotmail.com. That's right: Beast! Man! Goat! NOTHING 'ZINE, #3 Reneging (or perhaps postponing) on his promise to deliver more skate coverage in the zinc, former Pipeline local Marcus still delivers a great music rag. This one's got stuff on the Hunns, Weirdos, Greg Ginn of Black Flag, the Smut Peddlers, the Subhumans The Subhumans is the name of two prominent punk rock bands:
FOR FUN 'ZINE #3 I got a couple of prior issues to this one all in the package, and all I gotta say is: "only in Colorado." Only in Colorado (or, perhaps Oregon) is the inside cover ad a bong bong 1 n. A deep ringing sound, as of a bell. v. bonged, bong·ing, bongs v.tr. To cause to sound with a deep ringing noise. v.intr. shop named Higher Education." The first issue had some snowbrucing coverage that talked about the snowbruce "athletes" competing in the X-Games. This new issue has a little blurb blurb n. A brief publicity notice, as on a book jacket. [Coined by Gelett Burgess (1866-1951), American humorist.] blurb v. about why the word extreme sucks, so it is apparent that some kind of progress is being made. It's got mostly Colorado coverage but some mail-in coverage from elsewhere. The photos are decent, but reproduced so small as to make some of them unintelligible UNINTELLIGIBLE. That which cannot be understood. 2. When a law, a contract, or will, is unintelligible, it has no effect whatever. Vide Construction, and the authorities there referred to.
