The issue reflects the magazine's mature years, where professional skateboarding remained at its core but every edition happily wandered into underground music, comedy and pop culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe issue is led by coverage of the \u003cstrong\u003eTampa Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e contest, complete with the magazine's trademark irreverent take on one of skateboarding's biggest events, while a feature on \u003cstrong\u003eAtlanta\u003c\/strong\u003e explores the city's skate scene. Interviews with \u003cstrong\u003ePierre-Luc Gagnon\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eChad Muska\u003c\/strong\u003e provide insight into two of skateboarding's biggest personalities, while the \u003cstrong\u003eJoe Lopes Tribute\u003c\/strong\u003e honours the influential skateboarder and filmmaker following his tragic death earlier that year. Regular departments include News, Skatepark Review, Potpourri, Skate Flicks, Goddamn Ams, Skate Dolls and CD Reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside skateboarding, the issue continues \u003cem\u003eBig Brother\u003c\/em\u003e's unpredictable editorial approach with interviews featuring \u003cstrong\u003eAndrew W.K.\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTom Waits\u003c\/strong\u003e, underground rapper \u003cstrong\u003eAesop Rock\u003c\/strong\u003e and heavy metal project \u003cstrong\u003eDown\u003c\/strong\u003e, alongside Dave Carnie's tongue-in-cheek \u003cstrong\u003eSkate with Dr. Laura\u003c\/strong\u003e column. Blending genuine skate journalism with satire, music coverage and offbeat cultural commentary, Issue #86 is a strong example of \u003cem\u003eBig Brother\u003c\/em\u003e at its most confident, capturing the magazine's distinctive voice during its final years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rumorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43305208119373,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7882\/1709\/files\/IMG_0883.jpg?v=1784956257","url":"https:\/\/rumorbooks.com\/products\/big-brother-48-copy","provider":"Rumorbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
