This issue runs on pure aggression and focus, opening with John Cardiel reminding skaters to put everything on the line, seek, and destroy. Features span Angel Dust, a call to read between the lines, Ramona navigating shoulder-deep terrain, and Classic Covers celebrating moments where focus and aggression collide. James Hardy embraces his square style, Deathwish hammers chaos and hi-jinx, and Volcom gives jeans a rugged spotlight. Photo sections capture raw, unfiltered action, while Danzig adds a human touch to the mix. Departments hit hard with slam-heavy On Board, Social Distortion chaos, Black Label Candy Slick in Crypt, and notes emphasizing punk rock roots. Trash rounds it off with surreal landscapes like Baghdad Golf and Country Club, while Photo-G captures angled, vertigo-inducing streets. It’s a disciplined, reckless, and electrifying snapshot of skating at its purest and most dangerous.
