This issue kicks off with a rare interview with Stacey Peralta, co-founder of Powell Peralta and the man behind Dogtown and Z-Boys, now stepping into Hollywood with the Lords of Dogtown feature film. From Venice Beach to the silver screen, Peralta’s still shaping skate culture.

George Newsholme takes us deep into Tasmania, where isolation didn’t stop him from shredding wild spots. Then it's the "2 Jakes"—Jake Brown and Jake Duncombe—coming together for a back-to-back double feature. Brown's vert power meets Duncombe's street wizardry in a rare, candid joint interview.
