This issue detonates with Jon Dickson biting into New York concrete on the cover, switch flipping like the city itself dared him to survive. Inside, the chaos spills everywhere. The SOTY Party delivers the usual face-first celebration carnage, Now and Venn… leans into bad-idea probability math, and KOTR China turns international travel into a shared language of wreckage, exhaustion, and beautiful disaster. Baker Deathwish keeps the volume pinned for ratings-level insanity, Julian Davidson obsesses over board shape perfection, and Bones frames toughness with a strange anti-tech stubbornness. The photo features drag you through gutter-level perspective and Hollywood make-goods, while Odd Future injects shock, provocation, and unfiltered edge. It’s a loud, messy snapshot of modern skate culture colliding with hype, danger, humor, and just enough madness to keep the wheels spinning.
