Flakezine Quoted In The Atlantic

by The Editors on October 13, 2014

Fktarget1Graybeards who have followed along with online snowboard media since way back in the mid 90s may remember a site from the pre “blog” days called Flakezine. It hasn’t been updated in nearly nine years, but that hasn’t stopped The Atlantic from quoting from an old Sherman Poppen interview in a new post titled Snowboarding Was Almost Called Snurfing.

The way the story goes, as he told flakezine—” the world’s only honest critique of advertising, marketing, and greed gone silly in the world of snowboarding”—in 1994, he decided to try an experiment . . .

We all know the rest of that story, but if you don’t click here for the complete Poppen interview or click the link for the rest of the old, old story.
