Yeah, Vlade! Thanks for putting these up.

What's going on in the Skateboarder cover? Is Thrasher a switch fs flip? Fs flip the hard way??

Looks like Skateboarder's says "Jeremy Reeves, kickflip over the hubba".

And Thrasher is a kickflip 50-50 performed by Sierra Fellers.

definitely the first time i can say every cover is gnarly as fuck..  they're all just as good in their own right.  the slap one is gonna win just because of its artsy fartsy glam..  hell i know kids in my hometown that could pull that trick even through water no prob.  that pivot fakie is just fucking regular. in an awesome way.  don't think i've ever seen one that gnarly. i'm impartial to fellers because he got his real start in my hometown and it is nuts to see someone come up that hard and fast from a town with no spots (pensacola, florida). if you search on the tube for pensacola skate the new pensacola vm is coming out with a few of my friends (flex, spencer, and matt).  worth watching.

Thrasher-has been blowing it lately with covers, Windsor James and this one are just kinda boring these days, even though the picture is kinda nice, the trick is nothing to look twice at the way skating is now, and i even like sierra.

Slap-really sick picture, although KINDA made lame by the fact that i've seen him do a blunt kickflip out on that, so it's not like a tre is really impressive in comparison, BUT the picture is flat out gorgeous and i'm a motta-fanatic.

Transworld-never been that much of a FORE fan, but he seems nice, and i'm really stoked that he even had the idea to try this. Sick picture.

Skateboarder- Jeremy Reeves is pretty sick, but something about skateboarder's covers like this kinda bug me, like you can never tell how gnarley it actually it is. Still-sick picture, seems to capture the old-ness of whatever city it was shot in(anyone know? looks like europe).

The Skateboard Mag-Love the Koston trick, kinda innovative angle for a handrail cover--but nothing extraordinary as far as the quality of the picture.


Winner: Slap.

True. All the other covers are trick based, (which is cool) but as photo's Slap comes out on top.
