The Skateboarder's Journal 23

Issue 23 rolls in with Boo Johnson laying out his favourite parts of his recent Australian trip in 10 Swaggy Things, from beaches to vibes to the stuff you’re probably not allowed to do at demos. Pete Daly uncovers two long-lost Stone Cross photos in Diamond in the Rough, a rare find from the vault. Brisbane’s Dangerous Posse steps up with fresh energy and unfiltered chaos. Cons in Tasmania captures good skating and good people in a rugged, beautiful setting. After six years of dodging it, Jake Duncombe finally sits down for his interview—well worth the wait. And Pooners Go Do Stuff ditches the schedule entirely in favour of pure sessioning, no comps or demos, just mates and missions.

The Gallery is packed with heavy visuals, and He Walks Among Us ends the issue with a look into skateboarding’s darker corners.
