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.

The Dreams We Had As Children Fade Away

Dennis Does Paris: The Adidas Team in Gay Paree
*this is actually the 2nd time I've posted this article - I had forgotten to check if I'd already posted it when I did this one. Oh well. Didn't catch it until almost a year after the 2nd post, so I'm going to keep them both up.
This article from the May 2008 issue of Skateboarder covers an adidas trip to Paris, which produced a 9-minute DVD that was included in the issue. Tim O'Connor did the write-up, and Benjamin Deberdt took the photos (aside from a few incidentals by Bryce Kanights).
Dennis Does Paris: The adidas Team in Gay Paree - May 2008 Skateboarder
An adidas tour article covering a trip to Paris, which they also produced a tour video for that came in the form of a free DVD within this issue. This was the 7th magazine I'd ever gotten in the mail and I thought that maybe this was something that happened every few issues. Unfortunately, I was wrong. However, a couple of years later, online parts would become a thing, and now we get new skate videos pretty much every single day.
I watched that DVD hundreds of times. You can watch it here on YouTube.
