With a bonus photo of Chico looking intimidating. Cliché team photo by Oliver Chassignole, and words by Seb Carayol.
Slowly archiving photos and articles from Skateboarder Magazine and The Skateboard Mag, while also including stuff from Transworld, SLAP, Thrasher. I am not, nor have I ever been, formally affiliated with any of these magazines.
Sunny England By The Sea: Blueprint in Mallorca (June 2009)
Years ago, the Blueprint Skateboards team would take annual skate trips to Mallorca, and produced at least two articles from these trips, if not more - I've only come across two so far. The first one I posted here, and the second one is posted below. Words by Paul Shier, and photos by John Bradford.
Backside nosegrinds on the McKee Street Bridge
This Houston spot doesn't pop up too often, but looks unique enough that I always notice it when it's in a video (most notable appearance here). I first saw it when I got the July 2008 issue of Skateboarder in the mail and saw Jose Rojo's backside nosegrind on it (shot by John Bradford). Five years later, Zered Bassett did the same trick switch for an October 2013 Spitfire ad (no photo credit provided, scanned from that month's issue of Thrasher). It's always fun to see the progression of tricks at spots over time, and I get excited when I come across something like this.
Ishod Wair - switch flip Love Gap
Zander Taketomo's photo of Ishod's switch flip appeared in the October 2009 issue of Skateboarder, with a little backstory provided. To my knowledge, this is also the first time Ishod appeared in a magazine. Four years later, he was SOTY.
Howl: February 2008
The two tricks from the Howl section of this issue of Skateboarder. One is an incredibly technical ledge trick, and the other is an ollie. Both are great.

Chima Ferguson - bigspin heelflip sequence
3-page sequence of Chima doing a Rick flip for a Volcom ad that appears inside of the foldout cover in the June 2009 issue of Skateboarder. No photo credit given, but probably Andrew Mapstone.
Start To Finish: Jerry Hsu
Jerry Hsu gives the backstory for how he got on Maple Skateboards and how he went about quitting to join Marc Johnson and Louie Barletta on enjoi. Photo sequence shot by Jonathan Mehring. No idea who shot the 1995 photo from Jerry's 8th grade graduation. Probably his mom.
The 100 Best Things In Skateboarding (July 2012)
For their 100th issue, the staff at The Skateboard Mag put together this list of what they believed were the 100 best things in skateboarding. Words by TSM staff, and photo credit can be seen within the images. I also included the issue's cover, which was shot by Atiba. You can read the May 2001 100 Things list that Skateboarder published here.
Gareth Stehr interview - January 2005
New Zealand hucker Gareth Stehr had a short interview in the January 2005 issue of Skateboarder, where he discussed willingly hammering a nail through his hand, getting shot in the face with a BB gun by Josh Beagle, and all of the celebrities he saw after moving to Hollywood. Words by Shad Lambert, photos by him, Brian Gaberman and Jaime Owens. Gareth also got the Contents page photo in this issue, which I included below his interview.
