Mike Peterson.


Mike is from Jacksonville, Florida. He was pro for Illenium, World Industries, and Consolidated. Based on an old interview in Big Brother, he might have done some carpentry and lawn care work, too. Mike runs a shop in Jacksonville called Block Skate Supply.

Buffalo's Sam Korman has launched a new skateboard magazine called Plank. It's going to a thicker, more literary type of mag that will look nice sitting on your coffee table, bookshelf, or floor. I ordered a copy and I'm curious to see what it is like.

I guess it will be a full week after me talking about posting less.

The photo is by Demarco. If anybody knows a full name, let me know.

Plank looks like it could be cool. all the photography I saw in the previews looked great but the type layouts (the fonts used are mostly good) and photo captions are terrible

I didn't look at any of the page previews when I ordered and just checked them out. I see what you mean. Sam said he was inspired in part by David Carson's design for Raygun magazine, which can put you in odd places.
