Fuknoath 14

Fuknoath Issue 14 is a perfect slice of grimy Australian skate culture, balancing heavy street skating, DIY chaos and completely unfiltered humour. The issue kicks off with Simon Lyddiard on the cover, shot by Breadun Frost, while Scotty Standley locks into a switch 50-50 above the contents page in classic rough-edged Fuknoath style. Backed by ads from underground brands like Axis Wheels, the whole magazine feels like it was assembled in a haze of late-night sessions, road trips and busted camera flashes.

Inside there’s the usual glorious disorder: “Blah Blah,” Top 3’s with Jesse Noonan, Pat Dandy’s “Job Stoppers,” Steve Tierney’s “Dudelers,” and the perfectly titled “Not A Sk8 Mag” by Bilde Paper. The issue keeps rolling with the “Sunday Video Article” by Zoooolz, a stacked pictorial section, Matt Ferg in “Good Bloke Hard Worker,” Ash Linaker’s “Hangin Up Handle Bars,” Kane Stewart’s “Comin’ Up,” Ben Currie’s “Mondo BMX,” and “The Truth” by Bo Reid. Like the best underground skate mags, Fuknoath #14 feels loud, photocopied, sleep-deprived and completely authentic to the era that spawned it.
