This issue launches with a bold, nerve-wracking cover shot: Anto locking into a frontside railslide down the infamous El Toro twenty-stair. The caption captures the psychological battleground of high-stakes skating—how you have to block out the slam and trick yourself into believing it’s just a ten-stair. The tension of that moment is frozen in a classic Atiba photo. Inside, another heavy visual moment: Tim Bruns feeble-grinds through a crisp, panoramic spread shot on the coveted Hasselblad X-Pan, laying down the tone for a photo-forward issue.
In the features, the mag touches down in London and Paris, likely showcasing local sessions, spot culture, and standout crews from each city. There's an in-depth look at Lowery, Koston, and the cryptic Q-Side and God segments—potentially profiles, interviews, or loose conceptual edits under those monikers.
The middle section throws in the usual chaotic fun: Gasbag, Litterbox, and Volume offer the kind of humor, commentary, and left-field content fans expect. The HeshSesh segment promises grime and crust for the purists.
For utility, there's a packed Skatepark List, a Starting Point section (likely for up-and-comers or first looks), and the tried-and-true Trick Tip for readers itching to add something to their bag.
Closing it out are Check Outs, Sightings, and Last Words, covering fresh talent, who’s been spotted where, and one final thought from the editors or featured skaters. Overall, this issue mixes adrenaline, global reach, and classic irreverence in equal parts.
