New skim mag and website

**Kyle Thoresen** · 05-30-2006, 04:21 PM

So I am never really happy with any of the skim mags but this new issue takes the cake. I am very suprised at how it came out. Lots of good pics and lots of wedge shots. Well done Butch, and joe and steve and everyone else who does skim mag stuff haha

And the new site is pretty sick too, lots of pics and fun stuff to play with.

Do you have to subscribe or can you buy then on newstands?

**iskimnj** · 05-30-2006, 05:15 PM

Subscribe. I think this one is a lot better than the last one. I've only gotten two, so I can't say much more.... lol

**VaSkimer18** · 05-30-2006, 05:22 PM

how much they cost?

**Kyle Thoresen** · 05-30-2006, 05:23 PM

If you buy them from stores (which they are sometimes hard to find) they are $4.95 i think.

But if you want them just suscribe and don't deal with the hassle of getting them at stores and its cheaper if you suscribe.

that sequence on the beaker mini mag is sweet--the first shot is super cool!

**Teddy Parker** · 05-30-2006, 11:14 PM

So rad. SkimMag kicks ass! Sick.

agreed.

it's cool to see them update there site. i plan on updating mine in the next few years. the page turning did take a second to get used to, but it was worth it for the dope shots.

**Derek Makekau** · 05-31-2006, 12:38 AM

...it's the same page turn from FSM, mr. lane.

new site looks good, i'm glad they got it up and running.

**Kyle Thoresen** · 05-31-2006, 12:17 PM

Derek, it seems like everyone is getting on the online flippy pages for their magazines... i still love you a lot more though!!

**Derek Makekau** · 05-31-2006, 12:51 PM

yeah, it's not like we created it or anything, so it's not a big deal.

**Ryan Vaughan** · 05-31-2006, 01:21 PM

I have to admit both the new site and mag were a big step up from the old issues and website

**(S3)** · 05-31-2006, 01:25 PM

how come they don't link to foreverskim in the family section? hmmmmm.......

to be honest i thought the same thing. i reference skim mag quite a bit in the current issue, and part of me almost considered removing the references...i figured that would be petty and immature, on top of being a waste of time.

at the same time, FSM doesn't currently link to skim mag either, but that was due to the fact that when the links section was compiled, skim mag hadn't updated their website in years.

now that it's updated, will you update your links to include skimmag regardless of whether he links you or not?

**KrisStone** · 05-31-2006, 01:46 PM

most likley he will but they use the same pics for everything in their website and wasnt that beaker sequence on the cover of the last issue? I dont know but seems like it

yeah it looks like the cover of issue 16

**Teddy Parker** · 05-31-2006, 03:19 PM

No it's a different pic. I think that was Joe that got a grip of super rad water shots from that day.

**Skimmex_Oskar** · 05-31-2006, 04:09 PM

i think that the first website that used the flash flip page effect was HappyMag.....but i could be wrong...........

it wasn't the method of page-turning, but the actual site was not functioning that well when i first explored it -could have been my connection or my apple.
