Jake Phelps Lifetime Retrospective
Jake led one of the most extraordinary lives of all time. There’s no way to fully document his legend but we did our best. Based on the June 2019 memorial mag (and expanded here), this massive feature has 50 years’ worth of Jake photos as well as testimonials from his closest friends. It’s almost impossible to absorb all of this content in one sitting and it’s meant to be sampled in various stages. His story will live forever and his spirit continues in everyone who loves to roll. We love you, Jake! -

In The Mag
Milton Martinez pops a squeaky-clean kickflip into the Sunset car wash on the cover of December ’19. He first attempted to ollie into it back in 2016 and broke the hell out of his ankle. He returned with one thing on his mind—revenge. It’s all gas and no brakes with this Argentinian. In this issue we take a peek into the mind of Kevin “Spanky” Long—his everlasting search for creativity, his favorite colleagues and everything Baker. Speaking of badass MFers—nothing beats hopping in the car and searching for spots with your partner in crime. Tom Karangelov and Jordan Taylor are the perfect duo to take the streets. One Royale with cheese, please! Gonz draws up the blueprints as the Supreme team demolishes San Francisco. SF’s never been more sweet with the opening of their shop and their new video, Candyland. Welcome to the block. Overseas, Atlantic Drift takes a trip to Russia to find out it’s probably just as sketchy as you think. E-40, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Blackalicicous plus more in Zounds. We saved the best for last. See you in 2020.
