The January 2010 issue opens with the "9 Frames / Second" feature, showcasing the fast-paced skills of Chris Haslam, Jack Curtin, and Jamie Thomas, reminding readers how every moment counts in skating. The cover spotlights Jamie Tancowny, whose jaw-dropping kickflip and final trick in Zero’s Strange World video solidify his rising star status, with words by Greg Robinson and photography by Joey Shigeo.
A deep dive into Cliché’s Résumé offers an insider’s look at how Jeremie Daclin built the brand from nothing—no money, no industry support—through a compelling photo essay and storytelling by Mackenzie Eisenhour.
The Habitat Northwest Campout captures the raw, back-to-nature vibe as Silas Baxter-Neal, Fred Gall, Austyn Gillette, and others spend time camping and skating amidst the wilderness—unless Fred Gall beats nature to it. Dave Chami handles both words and photos for this outdoor session.
The new feature Vice Versa explores common ground and contrasts between skaters Karl Watson, Sean Malto, and James Hardy, digging into their similarities and differences.
Closing out the main features is Globe United By Fate, the final chapter in a six-part series following Mark Appleyard, Chris Haslam, David Gonzalez, and the Globe team’s journey in their iconic black van, captured beautifully by Seu Trinh and Sam Muller.
The issue also includes all the classic columns: First Words, Mail, Warm-Up Spot, Top Five, Daily Grind, Home Page, Payday, Back in the Day, TWS 10, Check Outs, and Last Words—rounding out a comprehensive look at the skate world as 2010 begins.
