Skate History with the Look Back Library

IMG_2104
The Look Back Library is coming to Ruin on APRIL 22nd, to show off some historic magazines, including covers from local rippers like Grant Taylor, Justin Brock, Daniel Powell, Sean Young, and Jeremiah Babb, to legends like Cardiel and Hosoi. Come hang out with us from 7PM-10PM and touch some pieces of skate history.

The Look Back Library is a non profit out of San Diego, with a mission to preserve printed skateboard materials, promote literacy, and build publicly accessible skateboard magazine librarys.

Check out Jenkem’s look at the man behind the library and his mission in this video.

DLX Video Night

Deluxe Distribution (Venture, Thunder, Krooked, Real, and Spitfire) hooked us up with DVD copies of a couple of their videos burned from their personal digital copies. We’ve got “The Spitfire Video” (1993), and Real’s “Non Fiction” (1997) playing on the big screen. Come check out a couple of classics in, probably, the best quality you will ever get to see.

As a bonus, and a thank you for participating in our video nights, Spitfire hooked us up with a bunch of promo material to give away! Hang out with us on Friday, April 15th, at 8:00 PM.
