Yesterday we receive an email from Germany. Guess what, a german skateboarder asked us direction to nearby skateshop. So we gave him address to Zone 5 skateshop located at Berjaya Time Square. The point is, we wonder, did he came all the way from Germany to checkout the skateboarding scene in Malaysia? It is really an eye opener. From our observation, the government does not really give priority to skateboarding in tourism industry. Yes it may sound ridiculous, maybe we should give a try?

Zone 5 new shop pictures. The new shop is located at level 5 Berjaya Times Square. Rock on skaters.
During our visit to Malaysia's famous skateboarding shop website which is www.zone5.com.my, we came across a button which states "wanna buy online" or something with the same meaning as those words. Without hesitating, we clicked and found that there is an online skate shop in Malaysia. Duh, we wished we found it early. As far as our concern, the online shop was formerly named as pearlskate.com but now changed to a brand new url for we-dont-know any reasons. Anyway, for skaters living outside KL city, lazy to do the shopping, anti socials etc, here is your solution to your skateboarding needs. Visit http://bbskates.com/
As you can see, most of us are gatal tangan to try new online shops. So one of our folk here ordered 1 pair of etnies Ali and 2 krew t-shirts. Payment have been made and so far the responds we get from the people behind this skateshop is good.
Will inform you guys for any updates. Buy with confidence. Support your local skateshop.

On 6th october 2007, Point Blanc the artist who sings the great hit Ipoh Mali finally came out with his own clothing line with collaboration with our nation established hip hop clothing company, Echo Park, and it is called VOYEURIZM.
Here's some words spoken by Point Blanc during the official lauch if VOYEURIZM.
"Fashion is an important element of the hip hop lifestyle and it has always been one of my passions other than music. After establishing both myself as a solo artiste and my record label Voyeur Records, developing an urban clothing line was a natural progression and gave me the opportunity to expand the Voyeur Records brand as well”.
“When we decided to develop VOYEURIZM, it was only natural for Voyeur Records to collaborate with Echopark, as they are one of Malaysia’s leading hip-hop retailers. This is only the beginning of our partnership together and you can look forward to more from us in the future”
The line ups are all available at echo park outlets and items available are mesh caps, men's t-shirts and female baby tees and price are ranging from RM59.90 to RM75.00. Point Blanc Straight To The Point cd will be given free for every purchase of VOYEURIZM stuff.
Get it at the nearest Echo Park stores and you can get it from echobuy.com.my too.
