Slam Skateboarding Magazine – Issue 176 (February) delivers a vibrant dose of Aussie skate culture with features that blend humour, chaos, and high-level skating.
The issue’s main feature is an in-depth interview with Marty Girotto, a beloved figure in the scene known for his positive energy and unpredictable antics. Marty opens up about his move to Berlin, his approach to skating, and, of course, his infamous nudey runs.
“Carnage in Cairns” captures a wild tropical trip where heavy tricks met equally heavy personalities. Between crocodile-infested campsites, tattooed body parts, and serious stair-set hammers, this northern mission delivers pure skate mayhem.
Jake Duncombe’s surprise engagement is addressed with a touch of disbelief—has the hard-charging Gold Coast ripper really been tamed? Slam dives into whether the iconic skater is trading chaos for calm.
The "New Gen" profile on Adam Davies highlights a Melbourne-based up-and-comer whose quick wit matches his technical skill. Expect big things from this smooth-talking, harder-charging talent.
Also included are two full-size posters, featuring Marty Girotto mid-fakie tre and Aaron Rowe blowing minds with a kickflip back noseblunt 360 in. It’s a tough call on which to pin up first.
Issue 176 also kicks off Slam's Skater of the Year voting season, giving readers a chance to back their favourites and enter to win a skate trip of a lifetime.
