Ryan Sheckler - June 2008 interview

Ryan Sheckler's interview from the June 2008 issue of The Skateboard Mag. Words by Chris Nieratko and photos by Jody Morris. This was published around the peak of the backlash against Ryan, as can be seen by Nieratko's introduction that it's an unpopular opinion to like him. The interview includes tricks from Sheckler's Superfuture part, including a sequence of his kickflip down the Costco gap; the still photo was used for the cover.

Matt Mumford - June 2007 interview

Below is a brief interview Matt Mumford did with Skateboarder for their June 2007 issue. Words by Adam Salo and photos by Shigeo, Andrew Mapstone, and Steve Gourlay. I remember seeing this issue for the first time at the public library sometime in 2007 and being awestruck by the wallride shove out sequence - it was the first time I'd seen anything like that.

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.

All words and photos by Reda. Article appears in the August 2007 issue of Skateboarder.
