Australian Skateboarding Magazine Sep.Oct 99

This issue dives deep into the persistence and frustration behind technical skating. The opening Intros reflect on the countless hours of failed attempts, battered shins, and smashed gear, only to remind readers of the pure joy when a trick finally clicks — that fleeting victory when frustration turns to triumph.

Juice Clothing and the Juice skate team get a strong spotlight, with riders like Ti Coleing, Jeff Williams, Michael Davidson, Dan Ivett, Mark Harris, Morgan Campbell, and Aaron Jenkin holding it down. There's also a push for their latest skate video, V2, and a callout for anyone wanting stickers or a copy of the video to hit up their Darlinghurst PO box.

Feature highlights include a high-tech photo spread showing off precise technical tricks, a showdown interview between Bonham and Kabro, and a nosegrind poster featuring Kabro in full form. Anthony Mapstone drops in for an interview, and there's full coverage of the Ulladulla skate frenzy. Elsewhere, the mag reflects on 1999–2000 skate fashion and catches up with shralper Jason Burrows.

The Fundamentals section breaks down essential techniques, and the issue wraps up with music and game reviews, plus the always-anticipated Gap of the Month. Michael Davidson, described as one of Sydney’s original tech skaters, lands a crooked grind captured by Aaron Brown, while his nollie heelflips and deep knowledge of Sydney’s street lines remain legendary—though don't expect him to share the exact locations.
