It’s not often girls are used in the marketing of skate products. I’m sure most corperate publishers would love to over ride the integrity of the skateboard editor and fill their mags with nudity, in fact we know they would.
Luckily for those publishers Hubba Wheels have been providing norks a nd nakedness for teenagers since they ‘racked up’ their urethane, and this month you have the choice of which advert goes into the skate press by voting on their website. Be quick as it finishes on the 28th March.
