Nike's "First Sponsor" ad series

This was a pretty interesting ad series that Nike ran for 5 continuous months, from September 2002 to January 2003. These ads I scanned were in Skateboarder; I am assuming that they appeared in other magazines as well, though. I only have Skateboarder issues from this time period.

Also, I can't say with 100% certainty that these were the only ones that they did. I checked in the issues immediately before and after these five months and didn't see any, but that doesn't mean that they didn't extend the ad campaign for a different magazine. 

It looks like Todd Jordan got photo credit for all of these ads. I wonder if it was his idea to do this series?
