ISSUE 4 HAS LANDED

That's right boys and girls, after 8 months of absence OberZine is back! It's bigger and better than ever at 44 nipple raising, badly xeroxed, black 'n' white pages of fun! Click 'add to cart' on the right to get it mailed to your door (you can use credit/debit cards if you don't have a paypal account) If you live overseas and want a copy then email oberzine@hotmail.com and we'll sort something out.

*EDIT* If you're in the Surrey area, you can now pick an issue up at The Boardroom, Dorking

This time we got; how-to's, super fresh art work, random rants, cartoons and riding pics by the bucket load!

Big respect to Joe 'Ratboy' Caplin for landing the cover shot. Kinda reminds me of that old argument (usually relative to trend following) when your parents ask you 'So, if Joe jumped off a cliff, would you too?' to which I'd reply 'No, but I'd take a picture.'

Bletchingly Progress

As you've more than likely heard, the midi-ramp in Bletchingly is in danger of being torn down on health and safety grounds by Tanbridge District Council. What's particularly hard to swallow is the fact that the council made a mistake when laying the tarmac underneath the ramp which has caused the ramp to rot. Furious locals have kicked up a fuss and got the Surrey Mirror involved in their fight to keep the ramp up, READ ALL ABOUT IT. The above banner is a link to the petition site where you can (if you haven't already) sign it and help these lads out in building a case against the council's decision.

Anyone who can spot the two mistakes on the Surrey Mirrror site report gets a fucking sweetie.

A great deal of the above trailer(and the actual dvd i imagine) is filmed by Tonash Goodyear who appears a number of times in the new OberZine Issue #4 as a contributor, a rider and even a background subject. Check back soon for details on how to get your grubby little digits on a copy of issue #4

SAVE BLETCHINGLY RAMP

basically the council wanna tear down this ramp in bletchingly, surrey (because its a health risk) instead of shelling out for it to be repaired. i could go into how much work the locals put into raising the money for this over the span of a decade but the sheer fact that its an awesome ramp should be enough incentive for you to wanna do something about it. what can you do about it? easy.

I have a love shack in Acapulco where you can mess me up fun time!

Whenever I think of Croydon, I think of crayons (Crayola ones...) and how they taste like wax. I was a troubled child. The above biscuit tin has the contents of two ashtrays, one of which is covered with pictures of tasty crumpet so I always have something to gaup at when I'm getting lean and watching X-files.



Today my mum showed me a picture of tree resembling a bum with a bleeding anus. True story.

Train in Vain

I know, I know, most of you drive around in the bathtub's that mummy and daddy bought (and probably insured) for you, but some of us still actually use trains and get hounded by bastard TI's with something dead up their backsides.  If you are one of those poor souls that rides the train to college/school/work then this:
10 ways to avoid penalty fares should come in handy for dealing with those over-zealous motherfuckers.

Get well soon Sandy

To anyone who hasn't heard, resident oberZine blogger and defender of Reigate skatepark, Sandy B, took a nasty spill and hit his head pretty savagely. As far as I know he's still under observation in hospital. Get better soon, looking forward to seeing you on your fruit-boots again dude.*edit; i hear he's home now. here's a picture too ripped off DP's fb. hardcore.*

You said you wished that I was dead...

I think it's safe to say I am the KING at breaking cranks. I'm surprised I didn't gat myself open on that sucker, it'd be nice to have something to show for it other than the poxy little scratch on the bottom of my back. I suck.

In the Brighton/Hove area? OberZine Issue3 (the one with the picture of the dead goldfish on the front) is now available at Punker Bunker Records.

4. pussy-chops *a slappable face.
3.  cock-smoker *Jay says it in Clerks
2. cunt-piss *completely mindless swearing
1. minge-mouth eg. 'eat with your bastard mouth closed, fucking minge-mouth....'

Anyone in Dorktown tonight should go see The Da Ensemble at the Lincoln Arms tonight for hot dub licks that will have you hopping like a cretin. I have it on good authority that it's free too...
