Half the entertainment value from these Showdowns is reading all the trivial reasons why one cover is better than another.

the skateboarder cover is the shit a little suspect with old man olson's hand being somewhat hacked out of the photo but the identical stylings of both of them is what i think makes it rad

skateboarder for me, slap a close second and the reynolds gnar attack third (it's a great trick, but technically a whatever photo and cover)

It's a tie for me between TSM and Skatebaorder,

TSM because of the trick - that's one I keep re-looking at beacause it is so gnarly

Skateboarder for the feel-good nostalgia aspects

Can't believe so many people like the Skateboarder cover. That picture could have been on the cover of TWS in 1989.

It's cool that they're father and son and all, but a boneless and frontside grind, c'mon......

I wasn't aware of some level of expectation for a cover. To me a cover isn't always the gnarliest trick or the newest dude, but a photo that provokes some type of reaction that makes you want to look at the mag. and yeah sometimes it is something insane like reynolds bs heel but there is plenty of room for covers like the new skateboarder and slap.

My favorite part is when someone votes, and then repeats their vote in the comments below, with nothing else. It's like "Just so you know", you know?

TSM for the trick.

TWS for the photo.

That bs heelflip is unbelievable.

I actually think Transworld is the best photo, and maybe even the best layout-in terms of color scheme at least.

I'm a sucker for some of the colors the skateboardermag cover uses-but steve olson shouldn't be on any cover, he always does that same little slash shit in that same little bowl, even though the father son thing is kinda sick.

Slap needs to untuck their dicks. An artistic cover is cool every now and then, but for fuck's sake that shit is getting annoying. You're not going to buy an automotive magazine with a crayola car on the cover.

I know they're going for the art/culture side of skateboarding but they were the "arty" skate mag long before they started waving the art flag

I went with the Reynolds cover but I also think that cover with Steve and Alex Olson is pretty sick.

TSM, a great trick by a great skateboarder....

the Thrasher Duffel cover sucked but pete eldridge had a sequence of a switch fs 360 in it so that kinda made up for it....
