Thessaloniki - December 2006 Skateboarder

Travis Howell and the Planet Earth team's trip to Thessaloniki in the summer of 2006 was documented in an article within the December 2006 issue of Skateboarder, with photos by Ian O'Connor. Possibly the first skate company trip to the second-largest city in Greece?

Surviving India

This is the article for the India trip that Josh Stewart brings up as his "wildest story" from filming for Static III in his Static VI interview that was in Issue 6 of Closer Skateboarding Magazine. Two bouts of food poisoning and a terrorist attack within 100 feet of your hotel room, I don't know a trip could get more stressful than that. Words and photos by Josh. 

Chillin' In Chile

A trip initially planned for Venezuela was changed to Chile, which planner and photographer Ian O'Connor was hesitant about doing due to never having skated in the country before. Fortunately, an interesting article with plenty of photos at unique spots was able to be produced, appearing in the July 2008 issue of Skateboarder.

Ed Selego interview - June 2009

The main feature of the June 2009 issue of Skateboarder is a 10-page interview with MIA Skate Shop co-founder Ed Selego, who also had the cover of this issue. Words by Christian Senrud and photos by John Bradford, Ian O'Connor and Ken Goto.

Sneaking Around Behind The Iron Curtain

This is an 18-page article in the January 2006 issue of Skateboarder put together by Jonathan Mehring documenting his trek behind the former Soviet Union with the Planet Earth and Ipath teams. Skaters on the trip include Steve Nesser, Bobby Puleo, Kenny Reed, Jack Sabback, Nate Jones and Ed Selego. I always enjoyed how Mehring would make sure to include interesting pictures of local architecture and people in his articles. It really helped give a bit of a larger perspective the spots and places skaters were getting tricks at.
