skateboarder, transworld as a close second.  skateboarder has nicer titles (renaud, chocolate), and that pink font in transworld is too flashy.

I can't understand how just because its Gonz means that he's automatically got the best cover. Yeah, great trick on the no comply but those who are voting for that hand plant know its not the best photo. And that Thrasher cover is pretty bad.

Lots of good covers this month. I'm going with the Slap cover because it's been a minute since I've seen a proper invert (or is that an eggplant?) make the cover of a skateboard magazine.
Dude since back in the day Gonz could never do inverts regular it was always switch. He even admitted it in some old ass interview.

the cops cars and body english for the skateboarder shot are dope. The gonz's no comply is timeless and rarely seen these days...a big favorite

That's because he used to do street plants with his right hand.  I had the same problem.

The TWS cover is reminding me of Kingpin covers, it's a rare cover photo in a rare format (B&W, well covers anyway) and lots of How to Articles mentioned to sell the publication to the reader.

I quite like the text on front covers of Skateboarder, although i very rarely see them.

TWS vs Skateboarder

ive never heard of any of these magazines. i think the real question is how do you do a no comply like that? i know he launches the fucker off that barrier but still, thats not right.

slap because its dirty, and because its vancouver.

transworld would be my runner-up, but a distant one because of the corny pink and blue colours.  plus, do you think that shot was shot on real black-and-white film, or was it photoshopped black and white from the original colour?  screams contrivance.

skateboarder looks like a magazine for chiropracters.  whats with his neck?!
