Going Solo: The Practice of Skating Alone - Brian Gaberman Photo Feature

This appeared in the October 2004 issue of Skateboarder and features Jason Lee, Reese Forbes, a young Silas Baxter-Neal, and a few others. The John Buchanan kickflip is so epic.

Og de Souza feature - November 2006 TSM

Translated by Rebecca Burnquist with an intro by Kevin Wilkins, this article is a sort of self-interview that Og did for this issue. He talks about how he started skating, the unique injuries and risks that come with skating the way that he does, the technique he uses for ollies, and more. All photos by Jon Humphries.

Corey Duffel interview - February 2006 Skateboarder

Corey's interview from this issue goes over how his sponsorship with Fallen ended and his growing love of music, amongst many other topics. Words by Lance Conklin and Brian Peech, and photos by Brian Gaberman.

Steve Nesser - April 2007 TSM interview

In this interview, Steve talks about working shitty jobs with Seth McCallum as a teenager, what it's like to travel with Tony Hawk, and why he loves traveling to Mazatlan so much, amongst other things. All photos were taken by Ian O'Connor, except for the kickflip and ollie over the bar into the bank, which were both taken by Brian Uyeda.

New Jack: Devine Calloway

In his New Jack interview, Devine talks about riding for City Stars, growing up skating in Bakersfield, and more. Words by Dave Carnie, and photos by Mike Blabac.

Quest for the Holy Rail

Cairo Foster, Kenny Reed, Jerry Hsu and Alex Klein took a trip to Israel in 2005, documented in print in the June issue of The Skateboard Mag during that same year. There's a lot of interesting-looking spots that they skated, at least a couple of photos of tricks that were in Jerry's Bag Of Suck part, and tour guide Boaz Aquino even got some coverage. In addition to the article, Kenny got the cover of this issue with a backside 5-0 on a Tel Aviv hubba.

All photos were taken by Brian Uyeda, and words by Alex Klein.

Divulge: Pancho Moler

The Divulge interview in the May/June 2000 issue of Skateboarder features Pancho Moler. Being that it was 2000, and Tim O'Connor conducted the interview, most of the questions have not aged well and probably wouldn't be printed in a magazine today, so keep that in mind as you read this. Pancho has had a really interesting life with multiple careers (pro skater, porn star, and now acting) and I suggest you listen to his first interview on the Talkin' Schmit podcast if you haven't already.

Zero's 'Cold War' feature in Thrasher

The December 2013 issue of Thrasher featured the Zero team heavily in order to promote their latest video Cold War (helmed by Lannie Rhoades), which featured some pretty heavy parts from Tommy Sandoval, Dane Burman and others. Burman got the cover, Chris Cole got the Contents, former company videographer Lee Dupont wrote an article about the history of Zero's videos, and the main feature was 42 pages of interviews and photos of the team, featuring full interviews with Jamie Thomas and Tommy. Things have changed a lot for Zero since then, and it's cool to look back and see what the team was like right before their last big video dropped. Props to Lannie for putting together a killer video, and props to Jamie, Adam Arunski and everyone else putting in work presently to keep the company going to this day.

I tried my best to make sure every interviewer and photographer got credited, but there's a chance I missed someone with all of the images I included.
