Tokyoyola: Traffic Tears Through Tokyo

This article from the January 2009 issue of Skateboarder covers a Traffic Skateboards tour that the team took to really explore & skate the city. The goal of this trip was to film a short video of their time there, which became the Tokyo Transfer promo. It's short but sweet, and features some great Rich Adler clips (who also wrote the article). Photos by Nobuo Iseki.

Chris Pfanner - October 2009 cover & interview

This is Pfan Man's cover and feature interview in the October 2009 issue of Skateboarder. I've been a pfan of Chris's skating ever since I learned about him, and I think this was the first full interview of him that I'd read. He'll always be one of my favorite skaters, and it's so awesome that he's still putting out parts and skating at a high level to this day.

Forrest Kirby - January 2009 interview

Below is Forrest's feature interview from the January 2009 issue of Skateboarder, featuring photos of tricks that appeared in his State Of Mind and Welcome to MIA parts. Words by Christian Senrud and photos by Ian O'Connor and Sean Cronan.

Sean Malto: The Wizard of KC

This Sean Malto interview from the March 2010 issue of Skateboarder is unique in that most of the skate photos aren't of the subject; they're of his skate friends. Malto even included a pull quote for each photo of his friends. Whether or not it was completely his idea or not, it's really cool that he used this as an opportunity to give his friends a moment in the spotlight. Intro and photos by Aaron Smith, and interview by Jaime Owens.

Small Beacons of Hope in a Dark Place: Vans blazes through the Southeast

This article covers a trip that Jonathan Mehring took with the Vans team through the southeastern states of the US and includes a story about an unnerving encounter with a New Orleans cop on a power trip.

Enter the Fourth Dimension

This is a fun photo feature by Oliver Barton, exploring the alternate paths that these five different professional skateboarders might have taken had they not picked up a board. The amount of thought and effort that was put into each person's outfit & setting is admirable, except for Dill's photo: it looks like he just decided to ride a bike one day, and Oliver took a photo of it.

F is for France: Corey, Gareth & Friends

An alphabet-themed article from the September 2004 issue of Skateboarder featuring a trip to France with Corey Duffel and Gareth Stehr & a few other skaters. This was a pretty cool concept, put together by Gareth, and Brian Gaberman's photos look great.
