Online magazines didn’t just start popping up yesterday, they’ve been around for a while now. The entire Internet platform has made it a lot easier though for those willing to invest a large amount of their free time into putting together information, interviews, pictures, media - I could go on for a while but you get the point - etc. to tell a story about a certain part of the world around them they want the world or those reading the article to know more about.

In our world of skateboarding there are many different aspects of the lifestyle we enjoy daily which can be used and formed to deliver an array of absorbing stories. One specific type of magazine which has been enjoying a ever growing following is the Flash flipbook format magazine which allows the reader to virtually flick through a magazine online. Now I personally like to have a magazine in my hand, leave it somewhere in the house where I’ll be able to read it again and again (bathroom or living room are my spots), but of course you won’t be able to keep this mag new. That’s the positive side of these flipbooks or with websites - you can choose between old and new.

Here are three different mags I flip (yeah yeah, pardon the pun!) through quite often and I am always keeping my eyes open for more. The mags I am talking about are System Skateboarding Magazine out of Poland, Tweaker Magazine out of England and Swiftfooted out of Belgium.
