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.

The Riviera (October 2003 Skateboarder)
This article documents a trip to the French Riviera which was originally planned in order to photograph & film Bastien Salabanzi on his home turf. Plans changed, but it still ended being a productive trip for all, with three filmers, one photographer (Oliver Barton) and one wordsmith (Mackenzie Eisenhour) thoroughly documenting the entire trip. The culmination is 18 pages of awesome stories and photos of an amalgamation of creative skateboarders.

No Country for Old Emerica
In 2010, Jonathan Mehring tagged along with the Emerica team to Houston and Austin for a Stay Gold filming trip. His plan was to shoot photos and eat Vietnamese food, but he only got to do one of these things. On the plus side, he was able to put together a 14-page feature for the May 2010 issue of Skateboarder!

A Tale of Two Cities: Bones' Midwest Adventure
This article documents a two-week tour the Bones Wheels team took through Illinois (Chicago) and Wisconsin (Milwaukee). It includes Randy Ploesser's infamous photo of the rock & roll attempt on the seawall, which he never rolled away from despite getting very close. When I posted a scan of the photo to my Instagram account in 2022, Randy was kind enough to share it in his story and share a little BTS of trying it. In his words:
"For the record, I never made this, I stuck it several times and rolled away like three feet and got wheelbite and then had to go catch a bus home. After it went in print, I went back to try it again and my board went in the water and I decided it was too hard anyway [...] Also for the record I asked for it to be saved for an interview until I made it, but of course that didn't happen. In Chicago terms, I might as well be posing a switch back noseblunt down Clipper for a cover. It's a damn shame."
