California Dreaming: RVCA's Golden State Adventure

"The RVCA team knows you don't have to fly to some obscure corner of the world and spend tons of dough for an article, so the team jammed North up the I-5 hitting all the plentiful spots right in their own backyard without ever having to leave the Golden State". Words by Cairo Foster and photos by John Bradford. This trip article appeared in the October 2009 issue of Skateboarder.

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.

New Jack: Marquis Preston

Marquis's time in the skate industry was brief, but his Stay Gold part is a classic and is part of why that video is so memorable to this day. He was also a memorable Call Of Duty player: according to this interview, at one point, he was ranked 98th in the world.

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.

(Almost) Every trick from Dylan Rieder's 2010 "dylan." part that appeared in a magazine

This is my most ambitious post yet, and a good example of the kind of stuff I enjoy posting the most. Thanks to the Skatepark of Tampa website, I was able to locate 25 separate tricks from Dylan's Gravis part that appeared in magazines. There are a few that I don't have in my collection, so I am aware that this isn't an exhaustive post. If you know of any other tricks that I didn't include in this post, please let me know! And I would be extra, extra stoked if you were able to email me the best quality scan possible of said tricks.

There are a couple instances where I included a full interview with tricks that didn't necessarily appear in dylan. I did that for the sake of consistency and to also make the full interviews available to read.
