Transworld Skateboarding – Undated Issue (Geoff Rowley Cover)

This issue opens with Relapse, a retrospective look at Jason Lee—one of skating’s most eclectic and influential figures. Whether you know him for Video Days, his dry humor, or his later acting career, Lee’s early contributions to street skating are undeniable, and this feature digs back into that legacy.

On Fire highlights Chad Tim Tim and Pierre-Luc Gagnon, two vastly different skaters in discipline but equally intense in their drive. Tim Tim’s style and consistency meet PLG’s vert dominance in a dual showcase of talent and precision.

BaMTV gives readers an insider’s look into the beginnings of a wild experiment—bringing skateboarding into the polished chaos of MTV. Cameras roll, antics unfold, and skateboarding’s core confronts the mainstream.

In 20 Questions, Darren Navarrette opens up with his trademark humor and punk-rock honesty. As a lifer in the vert world with deep roots in skate culture, his answers are as unpredictable as his riding.

200 Hours On the Road follows Jamie Thomas as he reflects on life in the van—touring, filming, sleeping in parking lots, and living out the gritty romance of the skate rat existence. It’s both nostalgic and brutally real.

Are You Alright? returns to the Pacific Northwest, where heavy rains, heavy slams, and heavy terrain are par for the course. This piece asks what it takes to keep going after injury, setback, or just plain bad luck.

Moving Manhattan documents a demo-heavy journey across New York City, with crews hitting boroughs, busting moves, dodging cops, and linking scenes from city to city—tricks and traffic alike.

The Sightings section finishes it off with raw visuals from across the globe, capturing everything from parking lot sessions to hidden gems deep in suburbia.

On the cover, Geoff Rowley seals his long-standing relationship with California ditch terrain by sending a massive ollie bridge-to-bank. No words needed—just pure statement.
