Another One Bites the Dust

Swimmers Ear magazine is officially done. They have released one last issue, sadly containing no skate coverage... It can be found online along with all 25 back issues.

You will notice the back tail on the above cover was the same photo that ran in Issue 25 of The Skateboard Mag below



The pool from the photo above was in Iowa, that weekend we shot the photo was pretty amazing. Hank who owned the pool is dead now and I have no idea if the pool is still there or not. The following day we went on a mission to find the barn ramps that were somewhat of a folklore in the Iowa city skate scene. With a few phone calls we came up on a location and drove out to the weirdest set up i have ever been to for a skate session. Here are a few clips & sequences I found on my computer from that weekend. The other dude skating is Clancy from Iowa, who I think used to own the skate shop that Kirchart now owns.

Rumors are circulating about a Skunk re-birth, will it come to fruition?
