Rumors from the UK are emerging regarding the demise of one of our favorite skateboard magazines. Factory Media “Europe’s largest action sports publisher” is apparently redirecting their efforts and calling an end to Document Skateboard Magazine. The following note was eventually posted on their site.
I’d personally like to thank all contributing writers and photographers, advertisers, all the real skate shops, skaters who let us photograph them, everyone that let us sleep on their floors or skate their ramps and anyone who ever bought the mag, it’s been a blast! See you out skating, Sam.
Some sources claim Factory Media will turn their efforts toward a more lifestyle oriented product (+1?). Wonder what will happen with Kingpin and Sidewalk? We always thought three skateboard magazines was a couple too many.
