Audible Blast #5.
Zine: Audible Blast
Issue: 5
Created by: Eric Dufour, Ed Kohler, Paul Norwood, Travis Lacy
Format: 8 1/2" x 11"
Where: New Braunfels, TX
When: 1987

Strangely enough, this was the first skate zine I ever received. It was put out in 1987 by some guys in New Braunfels, Texas, and 30-some odd years later, I live not far from there. There's a write-up of a ditch contest in Pflugerville and the photo of John Gibson's 5-0 on a parking block is pure historical gold. When's the last time you saw a pro/am ditch contest? Same with the shot of Dan Wilkes rock-and-roll at the Bastrop pool. Legendary. 

Notes: The "I *heart* Hosoi" contest is certainly politically incorrect by any standards, but hilarious nevertheless.
