This issue is pure East Coast pool madness, with Jason Dill tailgrab nosegrinding the vert section like gravity is optional and a clink on the way down could equal spleen removal. Inside, the skating slashes at full speed: On Board hits Mach-10 lips, Canvas plunges into grime-soaked streets, and “Three Feet Down” throws Flux of Pink Indians–level chaos into DIY terrain. Toy Machine recalls Prince concerts mid-trick, Nike flexes summer teeth with investigative precision, and Mandalay Express hits head-to-toe ollies over mom—Matt Beach style. Photo-G delivers blind-man’s-bluff tension, Trash dishes destruction, and Alien plus Unknown Mortal explore outliers and fist fights on stage. The departments pulse with hairball tall 50-50s, brotherhood ethos, basement bar sessions, and the usual Thrasher grit: bonks, bruises, and chaos wrapped in skill, attitude, and unfiltered skate culture.
