Scuz Magazine

Scuz mountain boarding magazine rocked.
 

From wikipedia:

"Scuz Mountainboarding Zine was at one time the only mountainboarding publication in the world for the sport of mountainboarding. It was first published in July 2004 as a paid-for magazine, however subsequent issues were published and distributed for free both as a printed hardcopy version and on the internet as a downloadable PDF.

It was announced in October 2006 that issue twelve would be the final issue and in 2007, the magazine would be rebranded as Mountainboard Magazine with a cover charge."

Mountainboard magazine unfortunately folded after 1 issue but if you're feeling nostalgic, Scuz can be downloaded from the following link. Well, issues one to eight anyway.

Starting out as a regular zine with questionable articles - Issue 3(?) 'The Joys of Shoplifting' it was a good entertaining read which by the latter issues became really quite professional. Still worth a read with articles on cleaning your bearings, tyre pressure choice and build your own balance board.
