The Skateborder's Journal 20

This milestone 20th issue kicks off with a heartfelt tribute to Shane Cross, celebrating his life, legacy, and one of the best crail airs in Aussie skate history. Jezza and Brass go deep and weird, riffing on everything from Bin Laden to Mother Teresa, while Skate Rock Australia brings the heat with riffs, road trips, and raw concrete. Kieren Reilly’s living off bacon, eggs, and the high life, and Kev Metalier checks in from South America with a Peruvian adventure that’s half skate mission, half survival story.

The interviews section is packed—Dustin Dollin, Chima Ferguson, Jake Duncombe, and more spill on the highs, lows, and everything in between. Out west, Adam "Dawesy" Dawes gets heavy in Perth, and George Simmonds fires some Warning Shots with help from a mate. There’s a look at Aussie skate culture past and present, a Dill photo from Andrew Peters, a Kurosawa deep-dive by Ash Jones, and a killer gallery to top it all off. Chris Nieratko closes things out with a warped take on fatherhood. Stacked issue—funny, fiery, and 100% skate rat approved.
