Jason Adams interview - December 2008

Jason's interview from the December 2008 issue of The Skateboard Mag. Words by Rob Brink and photos by Rodent and Jai Tanju. Great to see Jason get sober & get his life back during the past couple of years!




Road Weary: Seven skaters each grab a photographer and hit the road

This is a pretty interesting article, from the July 2003 issue of Skateboarder. Each of the seven skaters paired up with a photographer and took a trip for several days to see what kind of coverage they could get without the pressures of demos or touring with a team. The seven photographers were Brian Gaberman, Oliver Barton, Mike O'Meally, Jaime Owens, Jai Tanju, Ben Colen, and Shigeo.














enjoi Miami - June 2005 Skateboarder

This article was written and photographed by Jonathan Mehring, and is one of the first trip articles that he put together for Skateboarder. The motivation behind posting this one was because I listened to his Beyond Boards interview from January 2022, and he has tells a story from this trip about Jerry's switch 180 5-0 revert on the Miami Beach High School blue hubba. The full story is about an hour into the interview. In short, Jerry was trying the trick over and over and getting increasingly frustrated, all while Mehring's supply of camera film was dwindling. Eventually, Jerry asked him how much film was left, and Mehring notified him that it was "last roll, last try". Jerry came through and landed his next attempt, and you can see the sequence below.






Skateboarding's Most Infamous Crews

A brief overview of six of skateboarding's most notorious crews, written for the April 2001 issue of Skateboarder. Photo credits can be found in the scans. Although it's outdated (written over twenty years ago), there's a lot of information here that has faded away over time.








Glazing Arizona - Hsu vs. Evs: The Final Showdown

An article comprised entirely of an email exchange between Jerry Hsu and Matt Eversole, two people who automatically make anything they're involved with interesting. Appears in the December 2005 issue of The Skateboard Mag.
