Would you like to volunteer at the Concrete Wave booth at the Vans 2010 Warped Tour?
We need 2 volunteers per day x 40 days. That's 80 volunteers. You get a free pass to the show. You'll work at the booth helping give out passports, prizes and coordinate traffic. YES! You'll see bands and you'll meet some very cool people. But the best thing: you'll be helping out not-for-profit organizations.
We'll even throw in some goodies.
BUT...you need to tell me WHY you would make the best volunteer! Email me about 200 words by April 30th at
Visit www.warpedtour.com to find out when the tour is coming to your town!
WELCOME TO THE FINE PRINT: It’s somewhere in the USA. You have no idea how much I wanted to publish a large photo complete with a story about this spot. I decided against it. I figured rather than help blow out a spot, I’d keep the secret. This allows folks to savor the idea that there are still some truly epic spots out there that have yet to be discovered.
The funny thing about the Internet is that a number of secrets get spilled. Information that you’d normally never find out about somehow winds up everywhere, and the massive amount of info that hits the Web can get overwhelming. But it doesn’t stop there. It’s the speed at which the information hits. As a teenager in the ’70s, I’d wait up to a month to find out what was happening in skateboarding via SkateBoarder magazine. With news about events now happening in real time, I wonder just how much faster things will speed up.
I suppose this is why I find myself happy to be in both the world of
print and the Web. Like many of you, I truly enjoy the impact the Web
has had — not just on skateboarding but on almost every subject I’m
interested in. At the same time, I like the idea of producing a
tangible document filled with gorgeous photos. I’ve said it before and
I will say it again: CW exists as a memento. Thirty years from now,
you’ll find a collection of these magazines and bask in the warm
memories that your time in skateboarding has provided. While I spend a
huge amount of time on the Web, it can be truly difficult to read a
7,000-word story online. This is why we intend to keep pushing things
forward and providing you with stories that only print can do best.
You’ll notice we’re making subtle changes here and there. I intend to
keep tweaking and improving the magazine until someone else takes over
or until I expire and can tweak no more.

PARIS: New 195mm ParisTruck

The new 195mm Paris truck should be out right about now, and it’s sure to please folks that have been asking for a larger cast hanger. The 195s come stock with two 90A Divine barrel bushings and a flat washer on top, so these trucks are very race-ready out of the box. Even though they said “out of the box,” it doesn’t mean they actually come in a box. It’s just a figure of speech, so please don’t e-mail them asking where the box is! paristrucks.com

HACKBRETT: maple, biaxial fiberglass, a hyperlite wood core and ash enforcements.

Anarchy means a social state in which there is no government, but each individual has absolute liberty. For Hack, owner of Hackbrett, it stands for the idea of unlimited freedom in a respectful and caring way. This pureness of freedom is what Hack must have had in mind when he shaped his pro model. Conventional methods were challenged and materials were reconsidered to develop this deck. The board is designed with maple, biaxial fiberglass, a hyperlite wood core and ash enforcements. Special features include a high concave and wedged flushcuts for Crail trucks which give the board sharp turning, controllable slides and stability at speed. customlongskates.com
