Miles Silvas has a Roll Call interview this issue, along with getting the cover and having a couple of ads. They're all posted below. Cover & interview photos and words by Dave Chami.
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.

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.
3D Skateboards ads
Listening to Tom Karangelov's interview on The Bunt last week reminded me of how much I enjoyed seeing the 3D Skateboards ads in Thrasher. Layering a photo over and over in order to create a larger pattern was really cool, and not like anything I had seen before or since. It's unfortunate that the brand was around for only a short time, but it makes these few ads that more special as time passes. Also, it seems like the skaters who were involved in it are still thriving years later, which is awesome. I didn't include all of the ads; only the ones that I found interesting. Apologies if that bums anyone out.
No photo credit provided for any of the ads (that I could see).
