Transworld Dec 2001

This issue stands as a heartfelt tribute to Keenan Milton, whose legacy lives on with a San Francisco switch heelflip gracing the cover. 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. Finally, Zoo York hits Japan in “Loopan” for sushi and street moves, with plenty of extra action in “Sightings” to wrap it up.
