Slam Issue 150 puts the spotlight on Dane Burman, a polarizing figure who isn’t afraid to speak his mind and stir the pot. Known for his brutal honesty and unfiltered attitude, Dane lays it all out in a feature that dives deep into what makes him such a controversial and compelling character in Australian skateboarding.
The issue also celebrates the cream of the crop with “The Professionals,” catching up with Australian skate icons like Matt Mumford, Chad Bartie, Dustin Dollin, Jake Brown, Cale Nuske, Jake Duncombe, and Lewis Marnell, all of whom have earned their international pro status. Andrew Currie reflects on his long, storied career in a revealing interview, proving he still commands respect and skill in the skate world. Meanwhile, new Gen talent Jim Dandy bursts onto the scene as a wild slasher with rockstar looks and relentless drive — a fresh force to watch.
The cover captures a fiery inside kickflip to fakie near Victoria’s Deer Park, a perfect visual to match the issue’s raw energy. To celebrate Slam’s 20th birthday, there’s a limited edition run of anniversary decks available exclusively to subscribers. Online, the long-awaited Kewday promo video debuts, showcasing some of Australia’s finest skaters ripping hard and keeping the local scene thriving.
