Wild In The Streets 2004

Written and photographed by Patrick O'Dell for the October 2004 issue of Thrasher, documenting the Emerica Wild In The Streets day in NYC for 2004.

The Other America

This 16-page feature from the April 2003 issue of Skateboarder documents a filming trip the Emerica team took to Brazil and Costa Rica to put some finishing touches on This Is Skateboarding. Words and photos by Brian Gaberman. Chris Senn got a lot of coverage in this article, and there's also a photo of filmer Mike Manzoori.

No Country for Old Emerica

In 2010, Jonathan Mehring tagged along with the Emerica team to Houston and Austin for a Stay Gold filming trip. His plan was to shoot photos and eat Vietnamese food, but he only got to do one of these things. On the plus side, he was able to put together a 14-page feature for the May 2010 issue of Skateboarder!

This Man Only Eats Plants: Emerica In China

Accompanied by an amusing and interesting write-up by Jerry Hsu, this article features photos from a filming trip for Stay Gold, which would premiere only a couple of months after this September 2010 issue of The Skateboard Mag was being delivered to many subscribers across the US. All photos taken by Atiba Jefferson.

The Emerica Mansion

Written by Aaron Meza, this November 2002 Skateboarder feature gives a brief glimpse into the Emerica Mansion and the skaters who lived in it. This article is a great companion piece to the ON Video segment about it, which came out around the same time as this magazine, as well as the 2018 Jenkem interview with Justin Regan. Portraits were taken by Bethany Black. Skate photo credit is with each photo. There's also a photo sequence in the Contents of Jim Greco getting a trick in the backyard, which I included in here as well.

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (Photos from Stay Gold)

Brian Gaberman put together a Hearts of Darkness-inspired interview with Jon Miner about the making of Stay Gold. As far as I can tell, Miner wasn't actually interviewed for this; Brian pulled quotes from the documentary and arranged them in a way to make Coppola's words sound like Jon's. I thought it was a pretty interesting concept. I also included the Emerica ad on the back cover of this issue, capturing Jerry Hsu in a full meltdown.

Turkitalia: Emerica, from The Balkans to The Boot

This article appeared in the June 2006 issue of Skateboarder and covers an Emerica tour the team took through Europe. Words by TM Justin Regan, and photos by Brian Gaberman.
