Jonathan Hay's new project is Confusion Zine which is based out of Germany.
The website explains, "Rising from the death of Concussion Magazine, Confusion begins where Concussion left off, or rather began 13 years ago, focusing on the underground DIY skate scene with a splattering of art, music and surf."

Apparently the first print issue is on it's way.

(We're running this ad in the next issue of it)

Here's an unreleasted video Shockus put together from footage mostly filmed by Rich Brazis
in the late 90s. Enjoy this blast from the past which shows in an interesting era for San Diego. 
Osiris were on everyones feet, vhs videos were still being produced and
plastic benches were all we needed.

Hot off the presses Sid Melvin is pro for Santa Cruz. SCS surprised him with the pro board today!!

Sometimes people can be really cool. Dude came out of his house and saw us skating his porch railing and hammered some reinforcements into the ground to help us get it er done...

So almost a quarter million people have seen this footage of Zach Stow getting arrested on Colton St in SF. I was there witnessing both Zach and the Officer both run their mouths. The lame reality is that few others in our group, the filmer and myself got skateboard tickets in an after though by the officer in beliefs that having citing more people that that would protect his "actions" witnessed by neighbors. Now I my attention was directed elsewhere for a moment and there was a seemly mild struggle when Zach was being put into the police car is and that's when the neighbors who had the birds eye view made their opinions verbal about his "actions". Anyways the very best part was that the filmer and myself weren't even skateboarding, and we got skateboard tickets.
So I went to my arraignment in SF today and plead Not Guilty and now I have to go back for court next month. What a fucking waste of everyones time..

Lowcard issue 31 came out a few weeks ago and we suggest you get yer hands on a copy. Here's the couple of the images that are up in there "in color".

Here's a couple of random youtube videos we found. The first is Pat Smith's part from the unreleased 151 video. (btw Too Loud for the Crowd was their rawest video but it's a hard one to find) 151 was a really rad company and just before the release of the video it went out of business or actually it was sold to Vision then they ruined the brand then it was really done.

Alex Duke updated his website with every Consolidated Graphic he did starting in 2005 to 2009. Check it out if you have a chance.

Did you know Chris Haslam is in a band called the Kobra Triangle? We just found that out.
This is the only image that I got of him, apparently the kids love him there at the Richmond Park in Canada.
