Coincidentally or maybe not, The Question article and the 15 Things article in this issue both have a hazing theme to them. Poor Elias. At the same time, being an intern at Skateboarder sounded really, really awesome. There's also some pretty gnarly stories in The Question article. Figgy's nollie feeble sequence was shot by John Bradford.
I want to also state as a disclaimer that I as an individual think hazing is really, really stupid. That being said, I have participated in that type of behavior before, as probably many of us have. These articles should not be seen as a condemnation of the skaters within them, but rather as a snapshot of a moment in time of what the skateboarding industry was like in the past. It's possible to read these articles and laugh at some of the stories while also simultaneously cringing at them.
Enjoy.
