Alley Oop Zine

Hi, how are you? I'm Iris from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Recently i came across the photos of Alley Oop zine, that Lee scanned. I'm a collector of fanzines and I publish Break Zine with my friend Marian in Barcelona. I would like to know if you have more info about Alley Oop, which I know it was published by Thomas Kalak. I would like to know in which year it started, how many issues were released, and where it was available at the time. I'm writing an article about it for my zine, and it would be of great help to share information about roller skate in spanish. Thanks!

	Hi Iris, great to hear from you all the way from Argentina! Alley Oop indeed was published by Thomas Kalak. As far as I am aware, it was not for sale anywhere (maybe except in a few skate shops) but photocopied and distributed via mail. Since issues 5 and 6 are from 1987 I would guess it also started around that time, maybe a yeare earlier. There was a similar effort by Stefan Oerder called Backflip. In more recent times there is a full color magazine published by Marta in Stuttgart called Doy Days Magazine.
