A written history of the California Street gap in San Francisco, written by Adam Salo for the September 2007 issue of Skateboarder. 

Fun Photo Issue articles in Skateboarder

In addition to large photo features, the May 2007 and June 2008 issues of Skateboarder have some photographer-themed articles as well that are really fun to read. Here they are below:

July 9th, 2022 edit: I came across another 15 Things You Didn't Know About Skate Photographers article in the February/March 2012 issue as well, and figured it would be appropriate to include it with this post. It's at the bottom.

"Real Minnesota Sk8brdrs" - Real Skateboards in Minnesota

Davis Torgerson and a few friends from the Real team get some clips & photos in Minneapolis and Saint Paul during a summer 2009 trip (the article appeared in the November 2009 issue of Skateboarder). This was the first time that I'd (knowingly) seen pictures from Minnesota spots in a magazine, and I was pretty excited; the ollie up pivot fakie by Justin Brock is only a few miles away from where I grew up! It was also the first time I'd heard of Davis, and seeing his nollie heelflip crooks on a handrail blew my mind, as it did for many others. It's still really gnarly 13 years later.
