Do magazines that are only published digitally work? Just curious because I have to admit I've fallen pretty far from being on the forefront with digitalization and latest technologies, and subscribing to a digital magazine has never even crossed my mind

they did say they'll have limited edition print runs still. every other month or quarterly would still be enough time to put together a nice mag

They already were bimonthly. Maybe they’ll go to a bi-decade release schedule. Can’t wait for the Check Outs!

I like the part where they auto-renewed me in Jan and then send a postcard in March about how they stopped printing in Feb.

Sorry if i am late to the party (per usual).
David Pecker is the guy who ultimately killed Transworld Skateboarding.
Google that evil son of a bitch if you are looking for what big money fuckery looks like.

He will be in the same line Hitler is in for the daily pineapple up the ass in hell.

TEN stands for "The Experience Network" - you just didn't realize that was the experience they were referring to.

I think it's "Enthusiasts Network" as in enthusiastically sell to the highest bidder for parts.

In a fair world they would at least sell for more than a run of supreme decks.

Yo that riff is shockingly similar to Ratt's Round and Round. I see you Firehose.

Honestly if I'm using mags as TP I'd got for newer Trans World over Thrashers any day, they have that matte feeling.
This definitely sucks for skateboarding, and the employees too. Thanks for some great covers, amazing videos, and all the other content they put out that made me excited to go skate.

Hanson O'Haver has to be my least favorite person who happens to write about skateboarding. He needs to go back to reviewing Miley Cyrus music videos.

agreed. luckily this is an oral history, so we only have to suffer through his intro.

i loved transworld in the early 2000s. as a kid, i never realized how lucrative those 400-page issues must have been.

Quote

Dave Swift: I talked to one of the ad guys in 2002, and he said I think we’re averaging about $1,000,000 an issue in advertising. Imagine that: A 400-page magazine—probably the average ad page is about $3,500—and they’re running 60% ads, 40% editorial. It was generating a lot of money.

Oral history. That's just how it is after you get married, am I right?
