This one's a heavy hitter. Kicking things off, Russell "The Love Muscle" Grundy takes us stateside for a wild ride packed with fireworks, gangsta run-ins, and skate sessions alongside Shaun White—pure chaos and pure hustle. Then it’s westward to Perth, where Aaron Rowe, Dane Burman, Pat Dandy, and the crew search for the city's perfect spots in “Searchin’ for Perth-fection,” blending scenic landscapes with rough street missions.
The real jaw-dropper comes with Jake Brown’s survival story. “Cheating Death” takes us inside his head during that infamous X-Games Mega Ramp slam—four terrifying seconds in the air, organ damage, and somehow walking away from it alive. Rounding it out, Matt Kirby returns from the shadows in the New Gen spotlight, repping Adelaide with powerful street clips and proving he’s still got plenty in the tank. Throw in some epic extras like the EA Skate comp, free Boom decks for subscribers, and a choice of Jake Brown’s insane 70-foot gap or Pat Dandy’s tow-in flip for your wall—this issue hits hard from start to finish.
