Title: Who has had the most covers? What were your favorite covers?
Post by: Debow's Chain on November 19, 2013, 10:21:39 PM
After seeing Jamie's TSM cover I thought about this. Jamie and Reynolds are pretty high up there.

I remember tripping out on Leo's skateboarder cover grinding up that rail and Rowley's thrasher cover b/s 360 into that ditch (sorry don't know how to post em).

If I remember correctly I think Caballero has had the most covers but I'm not sure if this is specific to Thrasher.

To me it seems like some of the best covers have been within the last 5-7 years.  especially around the turn of the decade it seemed like most mags were making really great choices with photos and color layout.

my all time favorite is the one of Andrew Reynolds fs flipping Wilshire. It really defines the beginning of that era.
(http://distilleryimage10.s3.amazonaws.com/ffc81c000c5211e3868722000aaa088a_7.jpg)

in general i'd say Andrew Reynolds has had some of the best, maybe most, covers.

I definitely remember that one, shit was so ill, Skateboarder always had my favorite covers by far

There are a few 2000-2002 era Trnsworld covers that're iconic as fuck to me but I can't seem to find any of them, one being Appleyard I think it was doing some backlip or something down a hubba on the cover of an Am issue and I'm pretty sure it was the first skate mag at all that I'd ever owned too

Another being a somewhat young Bastien doing a kickflip back tail down a handrail

I did find this TnT one though

I recently dug this one up out of my old stash of mags and have been reading it, his whole interview is so sick! There's also a crazy Nike ad of Reese Forbes doing an ollie over the back to 50-50 down a 16. One of the bigger ones I have seen to date, and that was ten years ago.

Hot dang! Thanks for digging that out. He definitely makes it look good.


Related note: Since pretty much everything under the sun has been done within skateboarding, I'd kinda like to see someone unearth spots/tricks/trends from ten, twenty, thirty years ago and see who's doin' 'em now. Kinda like that switch frontside 360 heelflip thread. In a recent Thrasher, Theotis threw down a heelflip crooks and talked about how he doesn't really see anybody doin' 'em, but Antwuan Dixon. There's an Osiris ad from around 2000, 2001 of Kevin Davis throwin' one down a rail, though. And Thrasher ran a photo of Pat Burke doing a major ollie recently that happened to be done by Kanten Russell years ago, too.
I'm not lookin' for one-ups or who-did-it-better, just how some guys do things that get forgotten or overlooked, but another guy comes along and suddenly its news. More curious than anything.

3 different fs flips at the same spot just that reynolds and decenzo did em over rails. Dan roberts had done it before reynolds but then reynolds does it over the rail , gets a cover and people talk about it forever.

This is incredible! Dave Chami - the photographer - did an interview at deaflens.net recently and he talks about shooting this. Had to borrow some camera housing, which was kind of a hurdle. Spot's been skated for fifteen years or more and one guy finally jumped in the water.

Great choice.
