Reign In Spain: Flip Euro Tour Blowout
This thirty-page article from the September 2001 issue of Thrasher covers a Flip filming trip to Europe while filming for Sorry. Words and photos by Michael Burnett. The crew for the trip was Bastien Salabanzi, Geoff Rowley, Mark Appleyard, Ali Boulala, Arto Saari, Theo Hand, French Fred and Enrique Lorenzo as tour guide.
Mark Appleyard - September 2002 interview
Mark's interview from the September 2002 issue of SLAP. Words by Anthony Claravall and Scott Pommier. Photos by Joe Brook. Apples was also on the cover of this issue.
Mark Appleyard - 2008 Volcom ad
Thomas Gentsch sent this ad over to me, cut and scanned from German skate mag Place Magazine Issue 03, which must have been published in early 2008, according to him. Neither of us remember where the clip is from, so comment if you do! Thanks again for the scan, Thomas!
Flip's (2007) Eurotrashed Tour
The Flip team took a trip through The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and back to The Netherlands in July of 2007, skating demos and getting tricks at spots along the way, some of which would show up in Extremely Sorry. This article also features what might be the first photos of Christoph "Willow" Wildgrube in an American skateboarding magazine. Words by Ewan Bowman, and photos by Thomas Gentsch and Arto Saari.
One thing I remember from seeing this article for the first time was being in awe of the sequence of Willow's varial heelflip. That set is still huge by today's standards.
Roll-Up Rituals: Skaters and their superstitions
The Quirk section in Skateboarder during the early aughts often featured interesting topics and lists of things about skateboarders that you wouldn't usually think about; one of the many treasures within these early issues (usually written/put together by Mackenzie Eisenhour). I'd never seen this about about skater superstitions until earlier this evening when I scanned it in, and it's one of my favorites.
Enter the Fourth Dimension
This is a fun photo feature by Oliver Barton, exploring the alternate paths that these five different professional skateboarders might have taken had they not picked up a board. The amount of thought and effort that was put into each person's outfit & setting is admirable, except for Dill's photo: it looks like he just decided to ride a bike one day, and Oliver took a photo of it.
Mark Appleyard's kickflip back tail bigspin
In the first half of the 2000s, it seemed like Mark Appleyard could do anything he wanted on a skateboard, and look good doing it. His kickflip backside tailslide bigspin out on a handrail from his Really Sorry part is indicative of that time in his career. 20 years later, that same trick on a ledge could still feasibly appear in a pro skater's video part. As has been said by the others, the best sign of how incredible this trick is, is Tom Penny's reaction of disbelief after Mark rolls away.
Below is the two-page Volcom ad of the sequence of the trick, which was published in celebration of Apple winning the 2003 Thrasher SOTY award.
