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.

John Cardiel - Union Square rail
The Vans ad of John Cardiel's legendary 50-50 on the Union Square rail, scanned from the November/December 2000 issue of Skateboarder. No photo credit provided, but maybe Morford?
Unbroken: The John Cardiel interview
This two-page interview from the April 2005 issue of Skateboarder came out roughly a year after John's injury that left him temporarily paralyzed. He explains the aftermath of the accident and his unlikely road to recovery. His story is eternally inspirational! Words by Alex Klein and photos by Gabe Morford. Here's a direct link to the February 2005 Antihero ad announcing his recovery - forever the best Antihero ad.
John Cardiel - May 2003 interview
This interview was conducted by John's fellow Rasta buddy, Matt Rodriguez. Lots of great photos and positivity in this piece, as expected. Photos by Gabe Morford. Cardiel also got the cover of this issue.
Bruised, Battered & Driven: The Antihero Story
Julien Stranger gives an overview of the early days of Antihero in a 12-page article stuffed with Gabe Morford photos. This was published 22 years ago; there are riders on the team now who were toddlers when this piece came out.
The Beauty & The Beast Tour article - January 2010 Skateboarder
This issue centered almost entirely around the 2009 Beauty & The Beast tour, which was the second of the three that Girl & Anti Hero did together. Below is the feature article documenting the trip and all of the other pieces in the magazine that featured riders from the tour, in order off how they appear in the magazine.
I loved watching those tour videos when they came out. Some of the best tours ever. This is also one of the two Skateboarders I have that got water damaged, so the pages are a bit crinkly and there's some glare I couldn't get rid of. I think it's kind of cool, though... gives the scan some personality... maybe.

August 1999 Thrasher - Selective Scan Dump
Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what I want to post from a certain magazine, or what I should post here versus what I should post only to Instagram, and so on and so forth. So as I scan through magazines, maybe I'll just start dumping the stuff that I scan on the blog and then cherry pick from that to post to IG. Or, this might be the first & only time I do something like this.
Below are all of the things I felt were worth scanning from the August 1999 issue of Thrasher. I got this issue months ago from a friend who offered to mail me a bunch of old Thrashers and Slaps for $100, and it was well worth it.

| no photo credit given for either, but the Anti Hero ad is probably Morford |

I cannot say for certain, but I think this might be the first Jamie Thomas interview in Thrasher?
Words by Burnett.
These two pages are from the Return of the Hammerhead article, which has a bunch of photos of some of the top street skaters at the time getting tricks on it. Unfortunately, one of the pages was torn out of this particular issue, which means that I couldn't scan the photo of Ed Dominick doing a Christ Air. Dammit!! I love Clyde Singleton's fakie tailslide, and Geoff Rowley's front noseslide on the small UCI hubba is really sick.
The first page from the Buggin' Out article. I initially flagged this for scanning because of the Frank Gerwer nosegrind and was going to crop out the left page, but then when I had it under the scanner, I noticed that that was The Butcher doing the front 3!
More Buggin' Out.
Joel Meinholz, fs 180 nosegrind for his Welcome to Stereo ad.
I'd never heard of Circuit Wheels until I saw this ad.
Keenan Milton is on the list of skaters I will scan & post almost anything they appeared in. Admittedly, it's not a short list, but you get my point.
Jeff Lenoce Firing Line on the left. One of the biggest reasons why I love going through the old magazines is to find stuff like this. I think it's interesting to observe how much the Firing Line section has changed over time. It bookends Thrasher now, with a full-page photo, but in 1999 it's puzzle-pieced into the back of the magazine.
