Big Brother滑板杂志网络回归

在沉寂了四年多后，当年的美国著名滑板杂志Big Brother近日宣布重新开始出版，不过只限于在网络上发布电子版本。曾经受到年轻人喜爱的Big Brother杂志自1997年开始以介绍滑板文化、另类生活、年轻人群体、地下文化等主的非主流杂志在2004年后就停止了发行，今年的重新开始意味着Big Brother将再次回归滑板的世界，为年轻一代树立另类的文化标志。

After four long years, Big Brother is back. Owned by Big Brother Alumni Jeff Tremaine’s Jackassworld.com, skateboarding’s rawest magazine will now exist in digital format.

Archival nerds who never got around to complete their collections can rest easy now, part of the plan is to place the old print mags—there are more than 100—online.

“Right now the plan is that Big Brother will be a section of Jackassworld,” says Tremaine. “We’re going to put up all the back issues and anything we do skateboarding-related will be housed there as well.”

New content for Big Brother will focus mostly on skateboarding, and most, if not all of the O.G. Big Brother lineup are lined up to contribute, including Dave Carnie, Sean Cliver, Rick Kosick, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Earl Parker, and Tremaine himself. “Hopefully Marc McKee and everyone else from the original crew will start contributing,” says Tremaine.

Big Brother served a vital role in the industry. It was part skateboarding, part comedy, and part social commentary, pointing out the many foibles of our industry and generally toeing the line of what’s considered “decent.” In many ways, it epitomized the very “skate” mentality of seeing just how far you could push things before they blew up. The mag, which many concerned parents viewed as a gateway drug to pornography and debauchery, was purchased by Hustler’s Larry Flynt Publications in 1997, ironically toned down, and closed down in 2004.
