Our Favourite Sites
	www.davechamiphoto.com Portfolio site of one of Australia's/NZ's best skate photographers. Heaps of amazing photos in there. Just go browse through and enjoy.
	www.kewday.com Kewday recently relaunched their site. Its good on the eye, easy to navigate and has all the normal stuff (proddy, team, news etc etc). Best thing is it looks like Jamie is updating the thing on the regular. So check it now and check it later.
	www.brycekanights.com Website of one of the most legendary skate photographers. Go check out the vast array of some of the most classic & timeless skateboarding shots of all time. Did I over hype that one? nope, not even close.
	www.dcaus.com It's not very often that an international company will do a decent job of putting together a good site for their Australian team. DC have done a great job here. Jim, Battlecat, Cuz and Sam Winter have some sick stuff to check out in their profiles. Site has all the usual product ranges and news etc as well.
	www.weAREtheIMAGEmakers.com Online arty eZine with some skate flair that comes out monthly. It's had one issue out so far and that was hugely impressive. It's run by my pal Brad Eastman who takes rad photos and has a very nice backside kickflip too. As well as providing you with heaps of slick artwork to devour, they also are taking submissions. So if you have "it", send them some of your stuff.
	www.vicskatehistory.com One of the living legends of Victorian skateboarding, Noel Forsyth, has finished his website www.vicskatehistory.com. The site deals with Victorian skating going back to the craze era of the early/mid 70's , and ends with the start of the pro era and introduction of the glossy Australian skate mags. More stuff is always being unearthed and the site is certainly a personal view, but he's tried to give an honest overview of all the famous and not so well known spots, the best skaters and the real characters too.
	www.smithgrind.com Smithgrind.com has been "helping find chin" since 1987 which is kinda weird as I don't think most people knew what the internet was back then. Was it the first Skateboard website? They also have park list. links etc but most of there business seems to be skateboard news from the traditional media, automatically updated every 60 minutes. If you are looking for articles on skateboarding from traditional american news media this is the place to start lookin
	www.mikeomeally.com This is Mike's personal portfolio type site. Nice slick looking flash site with heaps of great snaps from Mike's archives.
	www.oldskoolteam.com No "P" platers here just old men clad in tight leather, yes there is more to skating then switch tre down Parliament. These guys look like they are from QLD/NSW and regualry hit the streets for a bit of down hill action all the usual pics, calender and profiles.
	www.ptrskate.com Dave Toms who used to work for both Convic and Concrete Skatepaks is currently working in malmo, Sweden on a big ol oreagan style park. He has scored a dream job working with Stefan Hauser formerly dreamland, his site is www.ptrskate.com plenty of pics of work so far, also the swedish web site is www.staplebadsparken.com, heaps of pics as well but its almost all in swedish.
	folklore Nice looking site for this WA based skate co. Got the usual team and product section plus a news section which seems to get updated on the regular. Check out the trailer on the team page, its good shit.
	oz ebay skate section Ebay is the best. Yeah, it has been around forever and you are wondering why I have made it the latest site to check. About a month or 2 ago ebay Australia gave skateboarding its own section (under sporting goods). It used to be tossed in with blades and shit. Now you don't have to filter out the extreme aggressive inline hockey tights when looking for stuff.
	charliedontskate If flipping your board is a distant memory, or not one at all, this site is for you. It has everything for the skater thats comfortable on something wider than 9 inches. Sells all your old skool type skate gear and a cool forum so you can catch up with fellow geriatrics and talk about "kids these days".
	desert pipes Desert Pipes.com is a web site about a group of guys who skated the Desert pipes which were built as part of the Central Arizona Project, a series of canals built to bring water from the Colorado River to irrigate the desert. Loads of great skate and construction pics it seems from some of the stories on the site the search and barge was just as much fun as skating these monsters
	concrete skateparks This is the home of one of the country's very few decent skatepark builders. The site has all the normal stuff, a listing of some of their parks but most interestingly a message board so you can comment on their work. Go check it.
	skatedaily.net In my book, there is really only one tip for a good site. Update that mother. Well over at skatedaily, they do, as the name implies. I'm always getting good bits of fresh news/goss from these guys.
	esnce.com This is Brad Eastman's site. You may have seen a bunch of his shots gracing the front page of our site. Its got a bunch of great artsy skate and non skate photography in there plus a bunch of folio artwork and graphic stuff. Its a slick looking easy to navigate site. What more do you want?
	SKATER ART How can we not give props to an Australian skate/art site. This site is our pal Lucky Phil's site. Its a "collaboration of artwork created by skateboarders". Heaps of cool stuff ranging from skate photos, art photos, drawings and even sculpture. I love the site, all content, no bandwidth wasted on fancy pants navigation and splash screens.
	http://www.middle-age-shred.co.uk middle-age-shred is a site build from the love of skateboarding, its all about older skaters who just can't seem to quit. Its got all your usual website features links, old skool pics and vids, reviews but the best thing I like about this site is you can register as a Shredder with all the other skinky old dudes, you may even recognise some familar faces. There are also loads of stoires written by members.
	http://www.jonhumphriesphoto.com Thanks to Homas for posting this link. John Humphries portfolio site. Simply some beatuful photography and some great stylish arty videos. Make sure you check out the Lance Vid and that shot of Jason Adams going frontside over Chet's 5-0 to fakes is a killer.
	http://www.skateboardbowl.com Well here is a weird one. One of the oldest gnarliest bowls is oz has the freshest & slickest website devoted to it. This is a great site, it looks superb and has content to match. Heaps of good photos from the bowl (West Hobart in Tasmania) as well as an abundance of background info and interviews with well known heads.
	http://www.skateboarddirectory.com So your bored of this site and looking for something else? Well skateboarddirectory has pretty much every other skate site in the known universe listed. Literally thousands of sites from company ones to vids, skateparks etc etc etc.
	http://www.qsa.org.au I would go so far to say that the QSA seems to be the skate association in oz thhat has its shit together the best. They always seem to doing stuff and their website is kept up to date with all their goings on. Those boys are skaters, down for skateBOARDING, doin it for the love. Shout outs to my homies Mark B and Leedog.
	http://www.gongskate.cjb.net We are always fans of local oz scene sites. This one focuses on the gong (wollongong area) which has produced heaps of rippers like all the 100mph boys etc. Cool simple site, some nice interviews with local lads like dodd and forum pal frank s. A nice collection of flicks too. Go check it out.
	50-50.com Aloha howlies 50-50.com is a Hawaiian Skateboarding web site with all the usual, as well as some great articles including "Why endorse Bad Products" and heaps great road trip galleries from Idaho and Oregon. The site does focus on the Hawaiian scene so if you are lucky enough to be on your way to Hawaii you should check it out. I think these guys love Oregon more then there home state.
	skateboardmusic.com So your wondering what that song was in Dill's part in photosyntheisis? This site will give you the song, artist label etc to that and most other skate videos ever made. Easy navigation and easy links so you can buy the cds too.
	Steve Gourlay Photography This is a Steve's brand new site put together by Scott L. Its a really nice slick flash beauty thats easy to navigate and concentrates on the best thing - content. Has a few gallerys of heaps of awesome shots, some you may have seen but a bunch you havn't. Also has all the mandatory contact info etc. Check it out.
	Salbaland Thought this would be a good site to check out since chlorine has hit the streets. Anyway its Salba's personal site. Its got heaps of good stuff. The articles in the history section make for a really good read if you have the time. This site also has one of the best photo archives of pool, pipe and bowl skating that I have seen.
	StokedMovie This is the site with all the info about the movie STOKED which is the doco about the rise and fall of legendary 80's skater Mark "Gator" Rogowski/Anthony. Thought it would be a good link since its playing at the melb film festival right now. Some nice juicy trailers on there for those with bandwidth to spare.
	Blast Hold Stop Drop I ordered on friday, got the stuff delivered today (Mon) = stoked. The site does not have bells or whistles, it does not have all the latest stuff from every brand. The site just concentrates on giving you run out stock from a range of excellent brands at stupidly low prices. It has everything from decks to shoes to bags etc etc. Dont friek out when you get your package either (they are experts at filling it with random freebies)
	Crailtap This is the home of the Girl family. Its got links to all their other sites plus regularly updated news n stuff. Check out the crail store too for lots of girl bargains. If you dont get hald the jokes on there dont worry, I dont get any. I cant even belive it took me so long to get this up.
	Art Of Skateboarding This is the home for skateboard collectors. It has the best stock that I have seen of old school decks for sale. Not to mention heaps of related news and feature articles. If only I had the money
	Stephen Lightfoot Photography This is Steve's personal portfolio site featuring some of his best pics, many of which you may have seen in SLAM etc. There is a skate section as well as headshots and misc artsy section. Check it out. Best viewed at 1024 x 768 res.
	theskullz.com This is a friggin rad site which focuses on some of the best chick skaters from OZ and the UK who call themselves the "skullz". Its got all the good bits like news, forums, pics, vids all updated regular. These girls are hardcore and dont mind giving out some shit. I think thats why half their team is "not really on their team". Hats off to the ladies. YO SKULLZ
	skateboardingsucks.com This site is excellent to give you all the low down on the seedy side of skateboarding. Get all the industry infighting news and check out all the crappest skateboarding proddy. Yeah I think I need a baseplate with mood lighting.
	jodymorris.com All this site seems to have is photos. The fact that they are all fricken awesome photos is why its here. You got stuff from Hosoi to Jason Lee. Plus a bunch of artry/band stuff chucked in the mix.
	independenttrucks.com The site of arguably the best trucks ever has just been updated. And dont think we are reviewing the site because they just sponsored the bowl jam. This site has soo many excellent photos. Check out Christians page if you wish to learn about style.
	mandatoryinformation.com This site is where skate and art/graphic design seem to mix. Heaps of good design/skate links threads & news updated regularly. You must check out the archive of classic skate ads while there.
	slapmagazine.com This is the Magazine's site. They are renowned for dropping big bombs in their news section. I am surprised they havnt been "sued". But if you go to the site you MUST check out their forums, not as good as ours of course but full of good trade dirt.
	globeworldcup.com Its that time of year so this has to be S.O.W. Its got all the details like how and where to get tickets, what the setup is plus setup shots, just a sneak preview though. Basically all you want to know about the event. Dont miss out on downloading the vids from last years event!!!!
	TomCuthbertson.com I found this the other day when actually checking out another site. Its the first Aussie skaters homepage I think I have ever found. It looks slick and has content to boot. It has a heap of nice glossy photos, his magazine interviews plus the usual sponno shout outs etc.
	http://www.lifelounge.com This is a very slick looking site. Obviously designed by a designer unlike mine. It is a crossover site but dont get scared because it has a heap of skateboarding articles, photo galleries, pro interviews n stuff. The snow section is pretty cool too, but I will go there when it gets a bit cooler yeah.
	http://www.nzskateboarding.com It pretty much looks like the No1 site for all the NZ related stuff. Its got the most comprehensive park list I can find for over there plus all the forum and news stuff as well
	http://www.electricurethane.com Electric Urethane are the makers/creators of arguably the worlds best skateboard wheels. They produce Cortechs, Pointblank and Electro. Their site is a wealth of information of the scientific/technical aspects of skateboard wheel physics. These guys are dedicated to producing the best wheels possible, no fancy marketing.
	http://www.concretedisciples.com Concrete Disciples is a great source of information on the happenings of American Skateparks, music news, Brazilian Skate history (holy crap, no wonder those guys are so sick) plus my favourite Eric Nash video Vault (this is a must for those who can remember skating before 2000).
	http://www.digitalskate.net Great source of info if you are into filming/stilling skateboarding. Lots of good articles and reviews plus msg boards. It goes into detail on techniques of filming and editing vids. Need to know what cam to get? or what fisheye u need? Go here.
	http://www.zeroskateboards.com With the "Dying to Live" movie just shown I thought I would peep their site. I was not disappointed either. Very slick looking site. Good easy navigation and a really nice complete proddy section. Good rider reviews and a couple of sweet desktops to download.
	http://www.selectskate.com Good WA scene site. These boys obviously are spending a fair amount of time of the site and it shows. WA spot checks, news n vids. Props to the Locals. A must for any WA resident.
	http://www.heckler.com This is the home of Heckler Magazine. I am mainly putting this on since its one of the few sites on the net that has some ramp plans for you to download.
	http://www.csaskate.com Skateboard association for the Central Coast of N.S.W Australia. Looks like this is one skate assocaiation with their act together. They "Work with councils for better facilities, Provide quality events and competitions, support local industries and help progress and develop skateboarding in general." just what we want to hear
	http://www.spausa.org One of the best sites on the net for all info skatepark related. Good tips/steps to getting your local council etc to build you a park. Also lots of other resources contacts etc. It is a U.S. site but lots of relevant info.
	www.deathbox.com This site rocks for those fellas that just never stopped looking over backyard fences. Since its getting some coverage of late I thought you may like this site. Pool n Pipe boards all the way. Check out the 33 Jay Adams.
	www.kwala.com.au The home of one of the major OZ distributors. Its a good site because they update it fairly regularly with news from home and overseas. Also good to get the low down on what new stuff some of your favourite brands are bringing out. Also what riders are doing, winning what comps etc.
	http://www.shadowskate.com Best looking local scene website I have seen. Chronicles the Bulleen bowl and crew. Obviously these dudes have spent mega time on the design. Props to the local scene.
	www.convicskateparks.com.au The home of one of the best (if not the best) park builders in OZ. These dudes skate and party hard, but pride themselves on building the best quality parks (and them shredding them).
	www.tonyhallamskateboarding.com.au Tony Hallam's personal site. Its got heaps of great skate info from old skool OZ and NZ. Make sure you check out his deck collection. Its sick.
	www.shubba.com Shubba has risen from the ashes of Ledgewax for those that can remember it. It's keeping up the vibe with top quality downloadable vids of mainly Newcastle & North Coast NSW heads. Some really good wallpapers in the gallery and a new message board so go get hating.
	powell-peralta.axg.net You are an old dog and want to buy/trade old powell decks n stuff. Well look no further this baby has all your needs for old cabs, hawks, lances, guererros etc.
	www.skateboard.asn.au This is the home of the NSAA, run by Brad Shaw. The closest thing to a national skateboarding organisation we have. Good site to check out for insurance needs etc if your organising a local comp etc.
	www.spireclothing.com One of my favourite company sites. Its got a good personal touch to it. Not one of those sites dished off to a bunch of non-skating marketers to maintain. Updated on a regular basis too.
