  Steez Magazine is a great source for east coast snow, skate and longboarding. Every issue features new places, events, riders, reader input, and of course, photography. Steez was started in 2006, headed by Andrew Bablo.  Since 2006, Steez has added many members to it's crew, including writers, representatives, photographers, videographers and designers, all are board enthusiasts.  Board enthusiasts love to share their writing, photography and stories with other board enthusiasts.  Steez is a great place for this to happen.

  Something really interesting I found out about Steez while researching was this guy.  There's a skateshop that I've often
visited that was first erected in St. Johnsbury, Vermont called
Indigenous.  I found out that the funny, bearded man behind the
desk, reading textsfromlastnight all the time, has a role in Steez
Magazine.  Indigenous now serves as the first flagship store for Steez Magazine.  His affiliation with Steez is in the marketing department and he is an active board member.





  The Steez Magazine website serves as an even better for Steez media.  The site is home to articles, photos, videos, a site blog, shopping and more.  "Although it continually evolves, Steez Magazine’s commitment to truth, quality, riders and you the reader, will never change. Keep it Steezy!" - http://www.steezminimag.com/crew/about/

The Biggest Head in Burlington




Check out Jake's tunes here.

 Jake Allen is an anomaly.  No one else could facilitate a response such as "nah, yeah, nah psych, but fer real" to a simple yes/no question but Jake.  If you've been waiting a half hour for Jake to have dinner ready, be prepared to cook dinner yourself because he hasn't started it yet.  But it's cool, he makes sick beats.  He's also an esteemed gentleman.  Many believe he originated from a crater in the ocean off the east coast of Madagascar.  I believe he came from a distant star off in space somewhere.  His ability to lift the spirits of those around him just with his presence makes him otherworldly.  Jake Allen is an anomaly.  We're digging through the litterbox trying to find his soft head.  "Yeah, nu-uh, fuck yeah, but nah I got class in a few, but pack it anyway. PIFF."
