Zines: Chaos Ninja #2

One of SAUCE skateboard zine's favorite contributors, Oby Berry, is back with his own skate rag, Chaos Ninja #2 "The Skateboarders guide to survive 2012"
With the demise of the printed SAUCE, Oby has taken upon himself to keep the reality of printed material alive with this "Survival Rag" You know Oby from his cleverly funny as hell writings such as "Urinal Showers", "Honkey Tonk Halfpipe", "Sk-8 or Nap" and many others. Oby continues his Red Neck philosophy in this crucial and informative guide to get those of you who shred through this 2012 year (which I heard was supposed to be the end of the world. Again?!?!) This rag is Sleezy Steve approved so you better get some!

ZINES

Shark Bait #44

The great thing about making zines is that there are no rules and you get to meet a lot of like minded folks who take it upon themselves to stoke the SHRED in their own way via printed material (and digital material like the SAUCE you are visiting now). I met Brad Hayes a handful of years ago via the web / US postal through zine trades. I sent him a copy of SAUCE and in return I have gotten numerous issues of his killer zine, "Shark Bait" hailing from Oklahoma aka "Sharklahoma USA". Now I have received a good handful of Brad's publication and each one is filled with great words and photos of inspiring skateboarding. Everything from music, local spots, local rippers, and even some guest appearances from the big guns like this issue #44, Karma Tsocheff and John Cardiel! Oh did I just say issue #44?!?! Yup, Brad has been consistently fueling the need to SHRED for 44 issues!!!! Man, now that's "Kicking Out the Jams"!!!!!! Every issue is filled with tons of good black and white material in a digest (5.5" x 8.5") format that is easy to carry in your pocket and take out to view while sipping on an ice cold beverage after killing yourself at the local spot. Keep an eye out For Shark Bait in your neck of the woods or stop by the website and pick up a copy and show your support for those who keep the Shred alive!

Thing Bad #8

Its always a treat to get a new issue of "Thing Bad" in the mail! In my opinion, this is probably the BEST zine out there to date! Not to take away from all the other SICK zines out there, this one is in a class of its own following or rather leading the way in D.I.Y. fashion. The homie, Darren of the "Dream Destroyers" and "Scabs AZ" has an artistic view on life and it shows with his zine. Each issue of "Thing Bad" is hand made! Yes, EACH ONE is hand sewn, photo copied, screen printed, painted and filled with tons of neat photos shot with a FILM camera and plenty of words about traveling abroad with a skateboard. Darren not only puts together a sick zine by hand but also RIPS on his skateboard and is down to skate just about anything! In a world polluted with cheap lame imitations of mas produced garbage it's such a relief to know that there are folks out there who CARE about what they love and don't give a fuck about anyone elses opinions! "Thing Bad" is a WINNER in my book!! Keep an eye out for this one and any other issues out there and hopefully you are lucky enough to get your paws on one as these hand made gems that are hard to come by simply because they are NOT mas produced.

LOWCARD MAG #41

Ah yes, Getting stuff like this in the mail (instead of a bunch of lame bills and shit) makes it worth while to even go to the mailbox these days! At any rate, The new issue #41 has arrived and as usual, nothing short of "Fucking Rad" here folks and a special bonus, A Full Color Cover!!! LOWCARD has been around for quite a little while now, I wanna say 6-7 years of supporting those who SHRED!! Now thats badass! Inside you'll find the usual sick material that fuels the fire and sick photography from around and even a good handfull from fellow PDX Photog, Garric Ray. Rob and crew keep coming with the goods in their typical "LOWCARD" kinda way. You love it, I love it, and they love do'n it!!! Show your support and keep these guys going because printed material is SICK AS FUCK and keeps America Rolling! Stop by the LOWCARD website and show some love for those who help keep the fire burning!
