The Transworld Skateboarding Buyer’s Guide 2001 is a pure time capsule from the early 2000s—when skateboarding was exploding in style, tech, and gear variety. This special issue serves as a massive catalog and trend report, packed with over 600 decks, 224 wheels, and 152 shoes, plus trucks, bearings, and accessories from every major brand of the era.
The cover, featuring a high-flying Colin McKay photo, captures the energy of the time—big ramps, bold graphics, and technical progression meeting the flair of early-2000s skate culture. Inside, the mag breaks down the latest product lines from industry staples like Element, Girl, Zero, Toy Machine, and World Industries, alongside emerging brands defining that new millennium style.
It wasn’t just a shopping guide—it was a snapshot of skateboarding’s evolution, showcasing how gear reflected the creativity and individuality of skaters at the turn of the century. Add in the free double-sided poster (a classic Transworld bonus), and it’s clear why this Buyer’s Guide became a must-have annual reference for skaters everywhere.
