{"product_id":"big-brother-50-copy","title":"Big Brother 48","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBig Brother\u003c\/em\u003e Issue #48 (May 1999) combines extensive skateboarding coverage with the irreverent interviews and pop culture detours that defined the magazine during its late 1990s peak. Built around a Florida road trip, the issue balances serious skateboarding with the deliberately outrageous humour that helped distinguish \u003cem\u003eBig Brother\u003c\/em\u003e from every other skate publication of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lead feature follows the magazine's \u003cstrong\u003eFlorida Tour\u003c\/strong\u003e, documenting skate sessions, travel mishaps and life on the road, while interviews with \u003cstrong\u003eSteve-O\u003c\/strong\u003e, long before the launch of \u003cem\u003eJackass\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFelix Arguelles\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMatt Milligan\u003c\/strong\u003e and photographer \u003cstrong\u003eDave Duren\u003c\/strong\u003e provide insight into the personalities shaping skateboarding from behind and in front of the camera. Contest coverage includes reports from both the \u003cstrong\u003eTampa Amateur Contest\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eVans Amateur Contest\u003c\/strong\u003e, alongside the magazine's regular News, Goddamn Ams, Product Reviews, Video Reviews, CD Reviews, Satanic Scrapbook and Last Call sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside skateboarding, the issue ventures into music and popular culture with interviews and features on \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla Ice\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKid Rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCheazy-E\u003c\/strong\u003e and a then largely unknown \u003cstrong\u003eEminem\u003c\/strong\u003e, capturing a moment just before his mainstream breakthrough. Rounded out by the satirical \u003cstrong\u003eBoy Power!\u003c\/strong\u003e feature and the magazine's trademark offbeat editorial voice, Issue #48 is a vivid snapshot of late 1990s skate culture, where professional skateboarding, underground music and unapologetically juvenile humour collided on almost every page.
