Re: transworld biz says big brother is back!
I bought a Big Brother once on a business trip, at the airport. I read it during the flight. When I got off of the plane, I threw it in the trashcan. This was way before Concrete Wave and ILB. It was during the later 90's, when I was out of touch with the market, from the aspect of media, but I was still hitting the occasional ditch and driveway freestyle.
Its interesting that they are going to focus on skateboarding. What a FREAKIN' novel concept. the typical reader of BB is going to be a cross-over from the thrasher/TWS/Skateboarder/etc that is unhappy with the fashion marketing and non-focus on skateboarding. I had always thought that Thrasher needed to lead the way, However, the new BB may be just the tool to get things moving in the skateboarding direction, from the mainstream side. Based on the write-up of them focusing on skateboarding this time, I will definitely give them a try once everything hits the road.
My comments represent a selfishly one sided 1970's skateboarder mindset, and do not reflect the current fashion-skate-lifestyle industry's views.
