Alley Oop

The German Vertical Roller Skating Magazine of the 1980's.

Covers Skaters
 

Alley Oop was a small vertical roller skating magazine published in Germany in the 1980's by Thomas Kalak. It was the only magazine ever dedicated exclusively to vertical roller skating.

Thomas started the magazine in the early 80's in an effort to promote the German aggressive roller skating scene. The magazine also acted as a way to inform and regroup the European vertical rollerskating community.
