BFFS: Cliché Gypsy Tour Part 1
10 Euros a day, a tent under the stars, and nothing to do but skate hard til you drop. It's no wonder that Cliché has stuck with the Gypsy Tour format all these years. -

BFFS: Pontus Alv
Pontus has always been a creative, spot-hunting madman as this edit shows. He quit Cliché before the completion of their Bon Appétit vid and these clips were lost to the ages until now. -

Virtual Exposure 2020 Video Part Contest
This year’s Exposure contest is online. The best non-dudes will submit their sickest street, park or crew video by November 12th for a shot at that $50k prize purse and a feature on our homepage. Hurry up, the deadline is three weeks away!
In The Mag
John Shanahan makes some street coping sing on the cover of the Nov ’20 issue with a gap to mega Philly bar in Brooklyn. More East Coast carnage inside with Jon’s Thrasher interview conducted by the legendary Josh Kalis. Other skaters in the hot seat this month include freshly-minted Almost pro John Dilo, Dangerous Dane Burman (seen that Hope to Die part yet?!), Chris “Cobra” Cole (who is back on Zero with Dane and the Chief) and an exceptional interview with Leo Baker, Cher Strauberry and Stephen Ostrowski about their new brand, Glue skateboards. Expect good things. On the staycation tip, Girl and Volcom socially distanced themselves from LA by escaping to Simon Bannerot’s stomping grounds in the PNW. We could all be so lucky. Need more?! Raney Beres hems on the Heroes + Heavies who influenced him along the way, Chris “Rhino” Rooney takes us down memory lane with a gallery of his best photos to date, Julian Lewis lands on the Lunatic Fringe (and finds a spot in the Foundation van) and Manny Santiago weighs in on Five Great West Coast spots. And while all of the aforementioned content is reason enough to buy this issue, Ray Barbee’s first Krooked ad is in this one so you’re definitely gonna wanna snag a copy, cut that out and thumbtack it to your bedroom wall. Fall is here but this issue is hot as hell.
