Popeye #917 & Skate

POPEYE magazine is the 'Magazine for City Boys'. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What's a 'city boy'? The term doesn't appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this 'city boy' might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read POPEYE magazine.

Popeye – Issue 917: & Skate

What is skating? This is a big question.
There are many different styles of skaters, and the style and music they listen to are also different.
The only common denominator is riding a board with four wheels.
There are no uniforms or rules to skate.
But people who skate, people who used to skate are good, there's something different about it, no matter how bad it is.
I visited people who have been skating all over the world, all over the world.
By seeing and hearing the influence of skating, do you know what skating is?
Film director Spike Jonze said: He said, 'Skating changes the way you see things, 'It connects two unexpected things to create something new.'
That may be true. The stories and photos in this issue are proof of that.
Come on, whether you've never skated or you who haven't been for a while, why don't you go outside with your board in hand? The usual scenery will surely look different.
