Transworld Skateboarding – November 2006 – Volume 24, Number 11
This issue hits heavy with global missions, raw honesty, and straight-up skateboarding chaos. The cover features Chris Senn tackling a monstrous fullpipe in Shanghai—not inside it, but over it—with a frontside five-O that proves legend status never fades.
Inside, "Nine Frames Per Second" opens things up with hammer sequences from Lindsey Robertson, Chris Troy, and Al Partanen. It’s pure visual combustion—no hair metal references needed (but they’re there anyway).
In "James Craig Roll Call," the leash comes off and the truth comes out. Known as one of the most loyal pros in the game, Craig fires off some sharp insights that cut deep, mixing bark with bite.
"Oakley’s Eye-Popping Chinese Exploits" documents a jet-setting squad—Burnquist, Sheckler, Fabrizio Santos, Chris Senn, and Rune Glifberg—taking on the world’s largest skatepark in Shanghai. Expect travel chaos, concrete monsters, and a heavy lineup going all in.
Josh Harmony steps into the hot seat in "20 Questions", fielding web-submitted interrogation from Toy Machine’s most chaotic online fans. It’s unfiltered and unpredictable—exactly what you'd expect from Josh and a bunch of teenage trolls behind dusty Compaq towers.
Globe heads to Europe in a tour piece that’s equal parts style and satire. Mark Appleyard, Matt Mumford, Paul Machnau and the crew skip the clichés and bring the heat across international spots, minus the turtlenecks.
Finally, "Chad Tim Tim Pro Spotlight" gives us a well-rounded deep dive into the mind of one of skateboarding’s most grounded pros. From seafood restaurant brawls to hoverboards and Filipino food, it’s weird, wonderful, and backed with smooth-as-silk skating.
Plus: Dylan Rieder lands a buttery fakie stalefish in Spain that’s equal parts beauty and brutality.
A worldwide issue with personality, punch, and pipes—November 2006 is peak-era Transworld.
