PUMP IT UP magazine ~ Vintage Pumping History

[BULLBOYNYC]

Hey, fellow pump brothers!

After many years of moving and multiple storage units, i was able to locate my original PUMPI IT UP MAGAZINES ...

For those who don't know, this is the 1st and only magazine put out in late 89-90, I believe.... it was our only source of any info or connections.... before cellphones and computers..... we had PO Boxes and Polaroids....

My main purpose for this post is to, somehow, post this educational material, so fellow and future pumpers can see where it all kinda started .... this collection is part of our pumping history for us veteran Pumpers.... many thanks to AL Parker and Scott Taylor, and a special thanks to Master E and Big Nick. These guys were the creator or the Monstertube that many of you wear...... ( I was given the 2nd Monstertube prototype ever built,still works , but belongs in a pump museum.... Big Nick was a good friend and shared many hours together in that tube)

I will figure out a way to post them here over time or at least a link

WELL DONE BULLBOY
These certainly need to be saved for posterity, obviously proper scanning would be great but even if you only did good phone camera grabs that would be better than nothing and would get something into the "digi-verse".

Thank you for saving these!

Wow I never knew these existed, I need to own them.

I searched pump it up magazine on Google something totally different came up:(

I too am a fan of Pump It Up magazine.

I have 7 copies of this old school quarterly magazine. The oldest from Spring on 1994. I purchased them at a local adult bookstore in my hometown. I was very excited to find them when I did.

Published in black and white out of NJ. Contained several adverts from companies that no longer exist. 3/4ths of each issue was filled with personal ads, some with photos. Not a whole lot of actual information. It was more a motivator for me.

Special thanks to what was Mirza Inc. I wish I had been able to attend some of their Pump Party & Demo events.

On a whim, I checked out the Internet Archive to see if they had saved the old Mirza website. They have it!

For those who don’t know, the Internet Archive scans and saves websites for posterity so that it all doesn’t just disappear. They’re also called the Wayback Machine. They have offices in San Francisco and (ironically) in Alexandria, Egypt. Their goal is to prevent the loss of information like what happened to the ancient library in Alexandria when it was burned down.

This is so cool. I love that all the links work to. I remember reading the entire site before. Thanks for the memories

In my excitement, I forgot to say that the Internet Archive is totally free.

Wow! What an amazing find. I totally remember Pump It Up, it was a great resource at the time. I had a few issues, I'll have to look for them.
Hope you can scan them and post them, it will be nice to preserve them.
Thanks for bringing back great memories.
