Zine Review - by Clarkie
The Lurking Fear - Meghan McGuire
I must say that right off the bat, my first impression
was Ahhhhhhhh it's legible! In fact it's the most legible
zines I've ever seen. Being a typesetter/layout artist myself
I always notice that kind of stuff. It's done very well, with
only one page too close to the edge, which can be a problem
with photo copying.
Meghan does a great job with content. All the
content for her first issue is her own to get the zine started.
She has already received submissions from others that will
comprise her second and subsequent issues. She gets around,
which is always a good thing for content. She holds a very
good interview with Vanessa Torres, park reviews in Melbourne,
Australia, features on Cara-Beth Burnside and Lacy Baker,
coverage of the recent Wicked Wahine girls contest and all
complete with excellent photos. The Lurking Fear is
not a "girls skateboarding zine" but a zine that
mainly features girls skateboarding, travel, art, and hopefully
some music and surfing stuff in the future.
Meghan has been skating for 9+ years all over Oregon and
the West Coast. Though she "lurks about" home is
in Ashland, OR. She also surfs, and is into art and design.
The Lurking Fear is distributed in Australia and all
over the US. Submissions are gladly accepted and may include
skatepark info, skateboarding anecdotes and photos, funny
stuff, band reviews, art, and surfing stories or whatever
else anyone wants to submit.
To get your copy or to send submissions, please contact Meghan
at
meghanmcguire (at) gmail.com
Meghan thank you for putting a great zine out there, and
for doing it well. This first issue is a major tribute to
female skaters and more of that is needed. I really like it!

Girls will be girls, and on February 18th, they
will be ripping up Venice!
Wicked Wahine is excited to announce the first event for 2006.
The "Skatie Hawkins" jam will not only have a standard,
female only session, it will also allow the women to team up
with another skater of their choice; man, woman or beast, to
compete for a "couples prize." The Skate Park Association
of the United States of America (SPAUSA) has offered us the
use of their mini-ramp, located in beautiful, downtown Venice.
Partial after-cost proceeds will be donated directly to SPAUSA
to help with the maintenance of the skate ramp and in the continuing
support that the organization offers skateboarders of all levels.
The plan for the day is simple - food, drinks, live entertainment,
skate vendors and of course, the ladies ripping up the mini.
Women of all ages and divisions will be competing for a "winner-take-all"
cash prize purse. The couples/doubles session is certain to
draw a crowd as teams of all skill levels snake each other to
take top honors and some very unique prizes. As with all of
the Wicked Wahine events, this one could only happen with the
support of the following sponsors: SPAUSA, VSA, Bulldog Skates,
Z-Sports Distribution, Lefty's, Kronik Energy Drink, Grindking
Trucks, Tunnel Skateboards, Concrete Disciples, Cool Girls Skateboards,
Stifle Clothing, Concrete Divas and more yet to contribute. |

taken care of by an adult who will be there for you at any time

ROYAL ORDER ALL GIRL
SKATE JAM IXX (AGSJ)
Pro-Invitational Cement Bowl Contest to take place in OAHU, HAWAII
DECEMBER 4th, 2004 (Month of Vans Triple Crown of Surfing).
Encinitas, CA.—The All Girl Skate
Jam continues in its 7th year of premiere pro and amateur skateboard
contests. The world's TEN top professional women will be flown to
Hawaii courtesy of AGSJ to skate in this history-making event.
This year's event will include a Pro Invitational
Cement Bowl as well as two mini ramp contests. This is a new private
state-of-the-art bowl and media and athletes must be invited. The
Pro-Invitational will be featuring top Pro Female Skaters such as:
Cara-Beth Burnside, Elissa Steamer, Jen O'Brien, Cnaan Omer, Holly
Lyons, Mimi Knoop, Isabelle Caudle, Amber Cangilose, Nicole Zuck,
Heidi Fitzgerald and Kim Peterson. The mini-ramp contests will consist
of pros and amateurs of all ages and they will compete in each of
the following divisions (grom, amateur, pros) jam style format where
five girls skate at the same time, dropping in when they can and
creating their best runs. We are honored to have the legendary Jay
Adams, Peggy Oki, and Tony Alva as tandem MCees at the event!
The event will be aired on GKA Fuel TV
(legendary snowboarder Tina Basich TV hostess will be on site),
Adrenalina Telemundo, Concrete Wave (Canada), Project Detention
Fuel TV, ESPN Summer X-Games and Winter X-Games jumbotron, and UK
CH 4. Local TV stations from Hawaii will be attending the event.
Pacific Coast Webcasting is providing full video coverage of the
event including streaming video clips on the web.
Sponsors to date include Title sponsor
Royal Order, presenting sponsor Cholos Restaurant, AGSJ Clothing,
Chorus Skateboards, FlowLab, Alva Skateboards, SMS text messaging,
Paper Magazine, Pacific Coast Webcasting, and Z-Cult.
An AGSJ Luau and Press Party at the Turtle
Bay Resort Sand Bar Restaurant will take place the night prior to
the AGSJ Dec 3rd, Friday evening. This will be a great opportunity
for the press to meet and interview the athletes. Saturday Dec.
4th following the AGSJ, a VIP Party hosted by Cholos Restaurant
in Haleiwa will take place. Video footage of the day's event will
be viewed on the TV screens throughout the bar.
GirlParts, an original rock band based
out of Atlanta, GA has influences ranging from jazz to heavy metal
coming together to make driving beats, memorable riffs, and burning
guitar solos. The music would be described as Pop/punk/rock and
we are stoked to have them at the event.
The All Girl Skate Jam was started in
1990 by soul skater and photographer, Patty Segovia. The AGSJ has
become the premier contest of its kind for girls. It has expanded
from local venues to multiple events around the world. The idea
for the All Girl Skate Jam can be traced back to 1990, when Segovia
organized the first female All Girl Skate Jam demo in Reno, Nevada.
Almost seven years later, after graduating from the University of
California Santa Barbara, she saw that her female skateboarding
friends were still not getting the recognition they deserved. Patty
decided there was a void that needed to be filled. She pooled her
resources from the action sports world, called every skateboarder
she knew, and the All Girl Skate Jam was born.
Depending on the location of the event,
anywhere from 50 to 100 girls compete in each AGSJ. Staying true
to its motto "All ages, All abilities, All Girls," the
All Girl Skate Jam will draw a phenomenal number of both amateur
and pro skaters from around the world. Last year on Fourth of July
weekend at Oceanside Pier, the girls competed with record breaking
foot-traffic of over 500,000 throughout a 3-day weekend.
Originally an annual event, the AGSJ has
grown to have multiple events in various locations such as Rhode
Island, Hawaii, Spain, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Venice Beach, Puerto Rico and more. Segovia hopes to reach more
and more skateboarding girls and women around the globe by making
the event accessible to them.
Approximately 20 pro girls compete consistently,
traveling the country to vie for anywhere from $5,000-$7,500 in
cash prizes. Amateur's of all abilities compete for thousands of
dollars in product prizes and are often excited about being on TV.
July 26th, 2004 Time Magazine article
quoted Patty Segovia, "If girls don't have clothing and equipment
designed for them, it just adds to the sense that they don't belong."
According to the National Sporting Goods Association there were
1.9 million women skateboarders last year, an increase of more than
25% since 1999. Female skateboarding is on the rise.
The All Girl Skate Jam donates proceeds
from each event to Cornucopia. This benefits people who suffer from
metal illness and helps spread awareness on mental health.

Those Crazy Skatin Moms at it Again!
The International Society of Skateboarding Moms,
based in Laguna Beach, CA, is heading to Manhattan for the Mighty
Mama Skate-O-Rama, Saturday June 26. Skateboarding moms and their
supporters will celebrate the first week of summer by gliding into
the Hudson River Park skatepark for a day of shredding ramps as
well as stereotypes. A raffle of cool skate goods will also be offered,
with proceeds going to Rolling for Reading, a literacy program that
puts new and gently-used children's books into the hands of kids
who need them. (Distribution is done on skateboard.) The skateboarding
moms will also be cruising uptown on the 26th for a Rolling for
Reading book distribution, handing out free children's books while
we skate—like rolling Robin Hoods. June 21 is National Go Skateboarding
Day and we plan to celebrate it in various locations throughout
the week. The International Society of Skateboarding Moms (a.k.a.
Moms Who Dare To Have Fun) was founded a year ago on Mother's Day
when journalist-turned-children's author Barb Odanaka (Skateboard
Mom, Putnam, 2004) decided she was tired of being the only mom riding
the skatepark. Now the society has more than 60 active members ages
25 to 80 (yes, 80). We come from across the U.S., Canada, and the
UK and include teachers, marriage counselors, environmental activists,
emergency-room nurses, businesswomen, journalists, homeschoolers,
fitness trainers, Skateboard Moms for John Kerry, "skate-at-home"
moms, and more. Details at www.skateboardmom.com.
For more info on the event, please contact Barb Odanaka at barb@skateboardmom.com
or skateboardmom@hotmail.com
(I've had e-mail problems, so sending copies to both would be greatly
appreciated!) Or simply leave a message on the guest book at the
bottom of the home page at www.skateboardmom.com
Cheers! -Barbara J. Odanaka (posted 6/18)
 Live
and Let Ride Girl Skateboarding
Tara Cooper has
done a remarkable job putting together this documentary video on
girl skaters. Tara totally takes you right into the
heart of girl skateboarding through interviews with skaters themselves,
mothers, fans, and even some boys. It's candid and honest, REAL
if you will!
It gives you a peek into the all-female
operated Rookie
Skateboard Company from New York. Patty Segovia gives
you a brief history of how the All
Girl Skate Jam came about. There are some parts I found
very funny.
It features all the female pros at
a recent east coast contest, and you can almost feel the grunts
of their wild display of sick tricks, and gnarly falls. Girls skate
hard and this documentary is living proof.
Tara is offering this video for only
$10.75. I highly recommend it for yourself and suggest stocking
up as gifts for ANY woman interested in the sport of skateboarding.
Let's support Tara so we can keep her out their shooting. This is
an area needing much support and exposure, and not too many people
are doing that. To order "Live and Let Ride" go to:
http://www.insound.com/cinema
and search under "documentaries."
Or you may e-mail Tara
for other arrangements.
Tara, thank you so much for sharing this
offer with Gurlz on Boardz; Keep up the good work! Hot damn your
video makes me proud to be a girl! : )
