100 Texas Titles
What started as a trip to Houston, Texas to shoot photos of Guru Khalsa turned into a full-blown trip around the state for Giovanni Reda. He ended up being joined by Todd Jordan, Mikey Taylor, Jeremy Holmes and an up-and-comer named Alvin "Trace" Saylor (never heard of him before or since). Jake Nunn also joined the crew for a day and got a photo in the article.
Chet versus the Federales
This article was published in the January 2008 issue of Skateboarder, which was the third magazine I ever got in the mail. All of these years later, it is still one of my favorite magazine features ever written. The story of Chet's capture and rescue in Mexico City during a Nike trip is absolutely wild, and as far as I know, is completely true. Words and photos by Jonathan Mehring.
Skateboarder's reaction to 9/11
The January/February 2002 Skateboarder was the first issue of the magazine that went to print after the events of September 11, 2001 in New York City and elsewhere. Then-EIC Aaron Meza introduced the issue with a statement explaining the relevance of a few pieces within the magazine, explaining that they were created to capture a skateboarder's perspective on 9/11 immediately after it had happened. It's very interesting to me to see these early reactions with over two decades of separation from that day, and I hope you do as well. My condolences to anybody reading this who lost someone close to them on that day.

¡Viva Threat! Nike SB Northeast trip
Kevin Wilkins uses this January 2006 The Skateboard Mag article to briefly speak about the cyclical relationship between skateboarding culture and corporate branding. Even if I didn't always understand what he was trying to say, I always found Kevin's pieces in TSM interesting to read.
