Transworld 2003 Photo Annual

This issue centers on creativity, style, and boundary-pushing skateboarding. The cover features the ever-stylish Kenny Reed, captured mid–backside Smith grind on an unusually tailed ledge somewhere in Melbourne, Australia—a photo that oozes control and finesse. It sets the tone for an issue that leans into refined style and world-traveling street skating.

Inside, the Intro opens things up, likely with editorial notes, upcoming tour mentions, or cultural reflections. From there, the magazine unfolds into three themed segments—Collection 1, Collection 2, and Collection 3—which likely showcase different clusters of photo essays, team articles, or skater spotlights, broken into curated visual flows.

The Contents photo makes a statement of its own: Daewon Song has clearly moved beyond the days of stacking picnic tables. Now he’s attacking oddball transitions and raw urban terrain, shown here with a switch flip to fakie in a gritty train yard setting—classic Daewon, technical and unpredictable.

The entire issue carries an air of exploration—of style, of terrain, of progression. From global street missions to avant-garde obstacle choices, this is a mag for skaters looking to do things differently, not just bigger.
