Inside, Jason Dill recounts the Equal Central Tour, while Anthony Pappalardo handles 20 Questions on a caffeine-fueled high. Blind and Deca light up Mexico City in “Reign Like Aztecs,” and Darren Navarrette’s gothic skate saga unfolds in “Diary of a Vampire.” “Doin’ It For The Fans” breaks down the double-edged sword of skate fame, while “Looking Beyond” follows Girl and Chocolate through the Northwest. “Vertical Obscura” sheds light on some rising vert talent, and “Born Like Dat” delivers a chaotic Costa Rican mission with Johnny Cash on blast.
