My Favorite enjoi ads

It's hard to pick one, so I'll pick two. The first one is from August 2010. I like the juxtaposition between Nestor's and Wieger's poses, silhouetted against the skyline, water and sunset. I feel like its humor is more subtle than some of their other ads.

The second one is from April 2011, featuring Ben Raemers. This one explains itself. RIP Ben.

California Dreaming: RVCA's Golden State Adventure

"The RVCA team knows you don't have to fly to some obscure corner of the world and spend tons of dough for an article, so the team jammed North up the I-5 hitting all the plentiful spots right in their own backyard without ever having to leave the Golden State". Words by Cairo Foster and photos by John Bradford. This trip article appeared in the October 2009 issue of Skateboarder.

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.

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.
