Concrete Wave Magazine!

The brain child of Michael Brooke, this magazine was exactly what the skate scene needed at the time......recently turned 10 years old, this magazine has become the longboarders magazine. If other magazines don't want to touch it then don't. Mike was brilliant enough to see that there was a need in the sk8 world to promote something other than just handrails.....I commend him on this, I would love to measure how much of an impact this mag has had on the scene, but that's a tough number to grab.

I do know that the largest skate company in the world is a longboard company, I know that racing of all types has exploded scince the inception of CW, that includes longboard marathons......Watching longboarding grow is a great measure as to how skateboarding is doing in general.  Keep those gas prices up,  and we will rule the streets, skateboarders will come out of the wood work...like monkeys in a jungle.

Regardless of what your "dress like a skater, never land a trick" friend told you, Longboarding rules .....and Concrete Waves impact on skateboarding will be long felt after you quit. Thanks Mike!
