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.
From the October 2008 issue of Thrasher, before he went to Alien Workshop and Vans and redefined his skating style. Words by Ian Berry, photo credit in the captions. The kickflip nosegrind on the Rincon hubba is pretty perfect.
Chris Cole seemed like he could do anything at the peak of his career, and this June 2009 The Skateboard Mag cover is an example of that. Has anyone else done this trick on a spot this size since? Both the cover and the sequence are credited to Shigeo.
