Zine: Gut Feel'n
Issue: 2

Format: 8 1/2" x 11"
Where: San Bernardino, CA
Date: 1987
The "Short Storys" issue. A great collection of prose (1 Week with a Beach Nut) and interview with Rob Orbison that introduced me to the power of 43 in all its incarnations.
Notes: First mention I can recall – before Transworld, Thrasher or PowerEdge – of Neil Blender doing "frontside boneless ollie" over parking blocks, a trick Orb called "43" that would come to be known as the modern day "no-comply."

Gut Feel'n was one of the first handful of zines I received in the mail. I probably wrote Phread with 50 cents and a stamp after seeing a "Zine Scene" feature in Thrasher Magazine. Heavy, two-color cover, with a Mike Taylor interview and photos by Tod Swank, Jawhn Dettman, Bryce Kanights, Kevin Thatcher.
Notes: Excellent art. Two instances with toilets, which somehow seemed to be a recurring artistic theme with skateboarder/artists at that time, myself included.
