Howl - August 2005

The August 2005 issue of Skateboarder was one of the first skateboarding magazines that I ever read. Over 16 years later, I can still recall the feeling I got as I paged through this issue, soaking up every single image and making a point of looking closely at each photo to make sure I understood the correlation between the trick being done and what the caption said the trick was. I particularly remember spending a good amount a time trying to figure out what a "kickflip shifty" was when I saw this sequence of Andrew Reynolds doing one over the Van Owen bump.

Barley's wallie tailslide is also really sick. I don't have a big long story for it, though.
