This issue is a full-throttle showcase of chaos, skill, and warped creativity, with Daniel Lutheran blasting into the cover shot—over-the-back deadeye gap to a 20-stair, pure commitment in motion. Features run the gamut from Josh Borden refusing to pay rent anywhere else, Elijah Berle surviving ragers, to Swiss navigating strange urban architecture, Hockey offering messy apologies, and Lutheran himself operating on a completely different wavelength. Departments feed the energy: Lunatic Fringe charges massive terrain, Epic Spots exhume hidden challenges, Trash questions whether ollies are elemental, and Photo-G captures rare, seldom-skated jewels. Zounds hits existential levels of destruction, Somethin’ flips the script, and Firing Line delivers gnarly, bone-jarring chaos. Kyle Walker chases rainbow-boardslides with feeble exits, while the overarching mantra—“Stay above the sheep. Stay above the negative. You’ll go as far as you decide”—cements this as an issue celebrating fearless skating, street wisdom, and pure adrenaline.
