Happy 60th, Lance Mountain

September 2007 NikeSB ad that I scanned from the pages of The Skateboard Mag. Photo by Jon Humphries. I wish I knew the difference between different invert & handplant tricks, but whatever you call what Lance is doing in The Pink Motel Pool here looks really good.

The Making of The Search For Animal Chin

The story of The Bones Brigade, Powell Peralta and The Search For Animal Chin has been told many times in articles, books, interviews and documentaries, so chances are, the information below won't be anything you haven't already heard or read. Or, maybe not. As stories are told and retold over time, small details get excluded, either intentionally or unintentionally, and become lost. Hopefully, there's something in this October 2001 article that you didn't know yet about one of the most culturally significant moments in skateboarding's history.

This article was compiled by Mackenzie Eisenhour and Aaron Meza, and all of the photos were provided by Powell.


Double Overtime: Pro Skaters Who Run Their Own Companies

Julien, Jamie, Lance, Ed, and Rickk all weigh in on what it's like to be a pro skater for the company that they own. The interviews were conducted by Aaron Meza, and photo credit can be found within the scans.





Dreamland article by Dave Carnie

The motivation behind scanning this article was that a person on Instagram requested it via DM. I had no idea that it existed before they had reached out to me, but I am glad that they did because this is a real gem. Dave Carnie gives some backstory to and sings praise about the Dreamland Skateparks company and the parks that they'd created up to that point (this is from the December 2004 The Skateboard Mag issue). Admittedly, I just breezed through the article and didn't read it thoroughly (yet), so my summary of it is probably not doing it justice at all. Enjoy!
