In The Mag
Elijah Berle finds the line and grinds onto the December 2020 front with a 50-50 at at a not-so-hidden LA kinker. More Berle inside as he and this year’s heaviest rippers weigh in on what a F#CKED UP year 2020 has turned out to be. SOTY trophy with a face mask? Who knows… One of our faves, Franky Villani has a feature interview complete with his excellent artwork. Portland’s Burnside Skatepark is turning 30 on Halloween and we tell its story from the first bag of concrete to its latest pour. God Bless B-Side! Ben Nordberg goes from the coping to the catwalk, dishing on the life of a male model, and we check in with the Duran Fam (Elijah, Mariah and Zeke) in Albuquerque to talk about shredding with your siblings. Need a laugh? Neckface pontificates on people he’s known and holds no punches. Neck don’t play! Two-thousand-twenty might have been kinda wack, but the last mag of the year sure doesn’t suck. Next month… our 40th anniversary issue!
