I always wondered about that
Over here a bun or a standard bun is two blokes one girl
I’ve also heard it called the devils threesome but bun is much better I think

always thought bun is patois or carribean creole for burn (or smoke). so palace bun stereo for example would mean palace smoking or burning stereo.

People thinking this is in any way a shoutout to the message boards are smoking goof rocks. Slap Mag was the best. Another amazing move from Palace 

[PatrickSkateman]

I remember one of my 1995 issues of Slap having a thick scented cK One unisex cologne insert that made the rest of the magazine smell.

[IpathCats]

Kalis out here with a better Tre flip than most dudes in their early 20's. I'm not a streetwear guy, but this shit is tight.

[CHONGO]

Love that @DGKALIS is in this repping Pals

Did Slap Pals exist in the magazine in any way?



Even if this has nothing to do with the forum, when anyone mentions Slap, what do you think of? The mag and the boards are synonymous with one another at this point, let's be real.

I love palace and I love stella artois. I'm probably going to buy that Bruce Springsteen Palace shirt that just came out because 1) I love Bruce Springsteen 2) I fuck with Palace 3) I love that Palace red hat kind of looks like a Phil's hat and I love the Phils.

[close]

You're all dying to know so I will return to slap to inform you that I indeed purchased the shirt. I also wore it to a family party near my parent's home (who live in south jersey about 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia - Basically all die hard Springsteen / phils fans) and it was incredibly well received. Very on brand for the area. They all assumed it was a Philadelphia Phillies/Bruce Springsteen shirt and loved it. It's still on their site so I may buy my mom one. I also believe bun is English slang for smoking weed which makes my mom walking around in the shirt all the sillier.

I will also buy a palace slap shirt. I loved the actual magazine. I miss it.

I don't understand the palace hate. The make great videos regularly, have a great team, often display a good sense of humor, opened a free public indoor skate park in London in the winter of 2017-2018, make silly things and they appear to use their popularity for good stuff like below:

Also really love the video and the cast they used. Big fan of all of these guys. My group chat was stoked seeing some new Olly Todd. He also posted some new footage on his insta story recently and a picture of his current set up. I knew the guy wrote a book of poetry but he truly is on some bizarre hopeless romantic tip still skating krux trucks. God bless him.

Good to see Matt Field. I love Matt Field. He's originally from New Jersey. As said earlier by another poster I would buy a Matt Field palace board. I also love iPath. If palace could some how bring iPath back for a collab I would spend big money on those shoes. As proof that I've been a Matt Field fan for sometime, here again is 14 year old me with bad dread locks and a crustache in my 8th school picture

i'm not sure if i ever read about slap pals in slap mags. and slap was my favorite mag and i had a lot of em, like still a whole box full of em at my parents house. i just checked a few mags i have lying around here and haven't found any pals mention. but i think it was in there. i vaguely remember reading occasional letters from readers that referenced the site/messageboard and some of them came through often and were like stan chapters. like a dude would write some weird random essay about something and follow up with another letter a few months later and mention or diss some user on the board and stuff like that. the term slap pal might have been used in the mag for such readers that were very involved with slap mag via the board or letters, or skaters that were somewhat close to slap, examples such as kalis, karl watson, who are also posting on here.

at this point, the messageboard been going longer than the mag i think. how old is the messageboard? it must have been around in the very early 00s at least. i started lurking 05 or something, after i started collecting then current slap mags and it already seemed like a place full of jaded old fucks that been debating about pointless shit since the the early 90s that share a history of talking shit to eachother for years already, ha. jk

there's no way you make a slap collabo without having the board in mind. the board is now more powerful than ever. i feel like now slap is more like the mag itself, where back then the forum was pretty crass at times. because slap mag was kind of the understated, smarter cousin to thrasher, but this didn't translate to the userbase so much back then. i feel like today the board demographic matches more the actual vibe of slap mag than the forum did in 05 if that makes any sense.

to me slap will always be the mag first, but that's because i read the mag and tons of back issues before i started lurking here. to young skaters that couldn't read the mag but were looking for like minded community, slap is the board. historically it's both and the forum is testament to the fact that we wouldn't let it die, even if many og posters have been off for years. to me slap lives on in the stuff that grows out of here, with posters becoming people in the industry, filmers(mandible claw) or new media like heckride.

PALS is SLAP spelled backwards. a heteropalindrome.

[Lou Strux]

Anyone remember when issues of Slap cost $1.50?

I remember when slap was free in skate shops, printed on newspaper stock & had only one color per cover.

[fernando the skater]

Selling out quickly on the UK shop.

[matty_c]

You know what I almost got the jacket and a shirt then I bitched it at the payment section it’s almost 500 dollars it’s not even the money but like I said before I’ll just always look at them and know they got one over me, like got me to buy sort of thing

I’m gonna buy more cordless batteries instead and maybe a mad cordless light on a stand Milwaukee got some good shit and I can’t write these clothes off ay

From being the OG Skate Jawn, to having scented Calvin Klein inserts, to becoming Reddit lite. Slap really is one in a million.

Do you remember those thrashers where it would have a photo and it would tell you the crime and then tell you the punishment it was a funnier and earlier do’s and dont’s

of course, but were still in the unclear about slap pals being a thing mentioned in the mag or only on the boards. i honestly can't tell anymore, but i tend to think it wasn't just a msgboard thing. for example a photo caption that might say "here's slap pal karl watson doing a fs crooks in sf" or something.

Would like to know if anyone was decidedly not a pal, and if so, why (magazine times)

Yeah, as an ad:



There was a shirt with this image too.

Slap is one of the largest remaining active old forum on the internet, thats a feat of its own

aside with that ad, there was a piece about the origin of the magazine name, SLAP. it was pretty open ended, but one of the answers was slap is pals spelled backwards, as in it was an intentional thing. it's a magazine for the pals... the homies... the crew... everyone trying to keep in alive in the underground (and overground) I wanted to scan all those old magazines, that issue in particular, when I was on the east coast but the trip sucked and I didn't get around to it.

Also, regarding an earlier post, about the prolific letter writers/Envelope peeps, that cat Shaggy who wrote in fairly often, I'm like highly positive that a major US newspaper, might have been the New York times, had a piece about the guy. Bob "Shaggy" Crawford- here we go https://shaggysk8es.wordpress.com/about-this-site/. Epic letter writer to SLAP.

[Frank]

yeah wasnt there ltters from shaggy at some point? like as a regular part of the mag.

also thx for the background info on how the name came about, makes total sense
