I'm gonna have to say the Skateboard Mag is one of the worst covers of all time. Fuckin' rocket backflip. As if that's not bad enough, there's no take off and landing shown for perspective so the photo itself is poor. And the main thing that comes across to any viewer is the mighty:
XTR
...which is very appropriate.

Is the TWS cover at the same spot of the mariano TWS cover from a couple months back?

Post by: BleachBeach on August 12, 2006, 01:48:41 PM
Skateboarder is amazing, but I voted for the Thrasher cover.  Simple trick, and it's at a skatepark even, but a rad photo, lots of energy.

PS how come there was no cover showdown last month?  That Skateboarder kickflip cover and the SBC Sheldon cover were hot shit.

I always fucking hate the fonts and typography that Skateboard Mag uses, they consistently manage each month to make it seem as if they have no layout direction whatsoever. And why anyone would choose that cover photo in the first place is beyond me.

You just get dumber and dumber. Maybe we should all just re-run photos of the "heyday" of skateboarding 1993, that way we can all live in the past and hate everything else just like you.

the thrasher and transworld covers could have both come from 1983, who's living in the past?

Keegan's Thrasher cover is gnar gnar.  But I like the Skateboarder cover and I'm digging the TWS cover as well.  Tough choice this month.

who is it? dompierre? It's an awesome trick but I'm not sure if it was cover material. They put the words over the stairs so it's harder to see that there's a huge drop. I'm still giving my vote to skateboarder.
Title: Re: NEW COVER SHOWDOWN!
Post by: ctsskate on August 16, 2006, 11:49:46 AM
Any of you kids ever seen Dompierre without a beanie on or something on his head? He's like Mikey Taylor with the headwear and it kind of bothers me. Good skater though, racking up the covers; just got Thrasher a few issues back.
Title: Re: NEW COVER SHOWDOWN!
