Already Been Done done already?

Anybody know if ABD is ever going to come out with new content?

[AlreadyBeenDone]

New issue coming Aug. 9. And we got another in the bag for September too. Sorry for the lapse ... in case no one noticed, we experimented with a weekly format for our last issue in May and blew our content wad. Had to get a bunch more stuff stacked up. Thanks for sticking with us.

Hopefully Stoya will finally grace the skate world with her literary presence?

not even gonna click that link.  because if there is a lesson here, it's that you have to save your nuts and spread them out appropriately.

anyways keep up the good work.

"In response to many people asking what's up with ABD ...

We had to put ABD aside for a minute, unfortunately. We did a solid 8 issues over the course of a year but were unable to gain any advertisers to put money in to keep it going. It wasn?t easy asking so many talented and busy people to do work for us for free that whole time ? and then to keep asking them ? I can?t be more stoked and appreciative of how much they all did for the love of it.

Quite frankly, I think we did okay with zero money and I?m proud of ABD. From introducing the world to Frank Hurts (thanks to Fabian & Animal Chan), to releasing Josiah and Ricky Webb parts, to giving Manolo and Chrome Ball more well-deserved exposure and resources (in the form of footy and access to riders). I think Carnie?s stuff was brilliant as well ? stuff he may not have written otherwise. He brought article ideas I had to a level I never in a million years would have been able to accomplish if I wrote them myself, so it was rad working with him like that.

I was able to do some stuff that wouldn?t have worked in any mags, like the Whiteley OIAM follow up interview, 43 magazine spotlight or my ?Carry On? column. And I think we had some pretty cool behind the scenes video nerd stuff that my partner in ABD, Josh Friedberg did.

There is still some stuff in the bag ? we had 2 more Manolo mixes that will stoke you out, one more Chrome Ball interview, a Stoya interview, more Physics of Skateboarding and a new Nick Fiorini part and interview ? I?m sure it?ll all surface one day. I?d expect the Manolo and Chrome Ball stuff sooner than later on their respected outlets ? Manolo?s YouTube probably and Chrome?s blog. I am giving the Stoya piece to Jenkem, so keep an eye out if you care about that sort of stuff. She used to work at Sub Zero skate shop in Philly ? that was part of her tie-in to ABD/skateboarding in the first place.

Anyway, that was long. But I have never really addressed it and seen questions and comments along the way in the last few months, so there you have it.

Thanks to all you guys for supporting and reading ABD along the way. I am nothing but stoked on how it turned out. Not bummed at all. I knew failure was a huge possibility when we started but the response was greater than I?d expected and I don?t view it as a failure at all.

What?s that word that?s so hot in skateboarding right now ? HIATUS? Let?s just say ABD is on hiatus and we hope to bring it back in some way, some form, some day. For now I am focusing on my stuff with Emerica/Altamont as well as the Weekend Buzz and my usual work with the mags, which is more than enough to keep me busy."
