The Skateboarder's Journal 31

Issue 31 opens with Andrew Brophy learning the hard way that fences don’t bend like flatbars in "Page One." Eric Koston sits down for brunch and banter in "A Brunch Date," a charming reunion full of throwbacks and swears. "Supra in Melbourne" documents the masochistic joy of throwing yourself down stairs in the name of footwear promotion. In "Two Up," Nick Boserio and Alex Campbell share tales from their filming grind. Ryder Lawson reveals how to survive on fried food and charisma alone, and "PD vs Tasmania" gets rowdy with a tour soaked in sweat, beer, and questionable decisions. Closing out the features is "Jeremy Corea", grilled journalist-style in a delightfully awkward sit-down.

Regulars include a banger Warning Shots with Corey Leso tackling mythical Melbourne terrain, and Moments in Time featuring Dylan Rieder’s timeless kickflip at the Canberra wave in 2009. The Skaterat and Feaster’s Freakout keep the cultural fuel burning, while The Gallery delivers visual gold as always. And if you didn’t know already: yes, skateboarding still has arseholes—Issue 31 closes with a PSA on the worst kind of skater.
