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! -

Inside, T-Knox shares what it’s like growing up skating in the UK, being a father and balancing it all. We have a heap of star-studded features—Oskar Rosenberg, Ethan Loy, Duane Peters(!), Jake Anderson, Ducky Kovacs, Jon Dickson—and the list goes on.

High-fructose and high-octane, the Panda Posse splatters the streets of Portugal. In Zounds, we have a full recap of Flogging Molly’s Salty Dog Cruise. Don’t tell NASA, this issue is out of this world.
