This issue of Transworld Skateboarding opens with a long-awaited redemption shot: Steve Berra finally conquers the infamous gap-to-rail at Rincon High School in San Diego—a spot he once eyed for The End but never hit until now. Swift captures the historic moment for the cover, cementing Berra's perseverance and legacy. The Contents page throws it back to Connecticut with Tobee Parkhurst planting a wallride, caught by Cronan, setting the tone for a coast-to-coast, high-impact issue.
From the editorial lineup to the photo powerhouses like Grant Brittain and Atiba Jefferson, this is a stacked crew working behind the scenes and behind the lens. There's a dense roster of contributors, editors, and marketing figures that showcase just how big and influential Transworld was at this point in skate mag history. The masthead reads like a who's who of early 2000s skate journalism and photography.
Everything about this issue screams commitment—from Berra’s years-in-the-making hammer to the sprawling list of editors, photographers, marketers, and reps hustling across departments. Whether you’re here for the skateboarding or just to witness the inner machine behind one of the most iconic mags in the game, this one’s got it all.
