The article overall is pretty wild. There's a Quiksilver ad in this same issue with a photo of Stefan getting a trick at a Mexico spot, which I am assuming was taken during the same trip.
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.
Kidnapping, Debauchery and Brebic: Habitat in Mexico City
This article features coverage of Fred Gall, Tim O'Connor, Stefan Janoski, Danny Garcia, Kerry Getz and Guru Khalsa during a Habitat filming trip to Mexico City with Jonathan Mehring and Brennen Conroy. Mehring wrote the article, basing it around the unpredictable antics of Fred Gall's friend "Brebic", who I can only assume is Fred's alter ego when he's in party mode. I swear I had heard about him bring this up in another interview, but I couldn't find it.
Cooper Wilt - July 2007 interview
This is Cooper's first full interview as a professional skateboarder, published in the July 2007 issue of Skateboarder. Words by Adam Salo and photos by John Bradford.
Ryan Bobier - September 2007 interview
Ryan Bobier's interview from the September 2007 issue of The Skateboard Mag. Words by Robert Brink and photos by Adam Conway, Rodent, Ian O'Connor, and Shigeo. Bobier was involved with Zero & Black Box for almost the entire duration of its run, but hasn't talked about his time there too much in interviews (none that I've seen, anyways). It would be interesting to hear what he would have to say about that period of his life.
Kevin Taylor - September 2007 interview
Kevin Taylor's interview from the September 2007 issue of The Skateboard Mag. The gap to crooks photo is so good.
Paul Rodriguez - September 2007 interview
The Rod's interview from the September 2007 issue of The Skateboard Mag. The switch back tail and nollie heel tailslide to fakie were probably photographed on the same session - those two spots are just a few pushes away from each other. Words by Robert Brink and photos by Atiba.
Devine Calloway - September 2007 interview
Devine's interview from the September 2007 issue of The Skateboard Mag. The kickflip back tail on the yellow flat bar is a pretty perfect photo. Words by Paul "Animal" Chan, and photos by Atiba and Anthony Acosta. I also included a DC ad with a sequence of his kickflip nose manual from the end of his Let's Do This! part.

John Lupfer - May 2009 interview
This interview is from the May 2009 Interview issue of Skateboarder Magazine. To this day, the back Smith photo is one of my favorite photos of that trick, ever. Words by Christian Senrud and photos by Mikendo.
Men at Work: Zered Bassett & Joey Pepper interviews
This double feature was published in the February/March 2013 issue of Skateboarder. At this time Zered had just joined Joey at Expedition after getting kicked off of Zoo York, one of the things he talks about in this piece amongst other things. I've always been a fan of his skating after seeing State Of Mind, and was happy to see him get a new sponsor so quickly after harshly getting the boot from Zoo. I remember really liking the concept & graphics for this article too - another nice way to send off the last print issue of my favorite skate mag. Words by Christian Senrud and photos by Jonathan Mehring.
Nyjah Huston: January 2007 interview
Nyjah's interview from the January 2007 issue of The Skateboard Mag. Words by Rob Brink and photos by Atiba Jefferson.
Nonstop Hustle: January 2007 Supra trip article
This trip article put together by Shad Lambert was published in the January 2007 issue of The Skateboard Mag and contains photos of Greco, Ellington, Penny, Muska, and Antwuan Dixon - heavy lineup.
Erik Ellington - September 2007 interview
A brief interview with Erik Ellington, from the September 2007 issue of The Skateboard Mag. Words by Neckface and photos by Atiba, Shad Lambert, and Yoon Sul.
Wes Kremer: San Diego's Rising Sun
Below is Wes Kremer's only interview he had in Skateboarder, which was the feature of the last print issue for the magazine. As bummed as I was that it was the last issue, I remember being stoked that it was ending with a full interview with one of my new favorite skaters at the time. About two years later, Wes would be crowned the 2014 SOTY for Thrasher.
