Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins is the first female in the history of skateboarding to land a 540 McTwist! It happened this past weekend at the Quiksilver Tony Hawk show in Paris, France which featured top skaters ripping the vert ramp. Tony threw in a beautiful 900er as well, but I have to day I am damn impressed with Lyn-Z McTwist make – looking really good. Congrats! Check out the video to see it happen.

Got to hand it him, Lucas Puig has the style and the necessary skills and he shows them in this short but really good HD video clip created by the one and only French Fred. Now I have to go out and try some new tricks, this was depressing *grin*

Peppermint Zine cover art
May 5th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young

I just found this relatively new underground magazine going by the name of “Peppermint Zine” and all I currently know about it is what the cover shows, that it probably has something to do with skateboarding and that the person running the blog with the info is a skater from Caen in France who likes playing the sax and drinking tea. Currently the mag is available in selected skate shops in France and England.
You can get in contact with them here and advertise as well…I’m sending off a mail right now to find out more! Great graphics that’s for sure – love to have the cover as a poster!
