Definitely up there along with the Jeremy Wray cover and the Clive Cover with the "he could have actually died" factor

So, just to confirm, he rode on the circular pipe and ollie over and in right?

I'd say yes.

Without laying something down as a kicker that appears frankly impossible unless he's donger on steroids. Way too far and tall based on that photo.

He is ollieing over the "low" part in the middle. great spot, crazy trick, great cover.
I thought it wasnt just him solo, shouldve stuck with my og thought.

That’s an iconic photo but the story behind it makes it even better.

Evan is part of skateboarding history now, that’s just one of those covers that will always resonate.

Was just about to post this. Pretty gnarly photo which got me thinking, who else skated a bridge? Not under it but on it?

Woah amazing cover! It has been a while since I last saw a cover that really stood out in terms of being more than a really great trick on a traditional obstacle... this should be in a gallery!

Backstory makes it even crazier!

Yes that is real. Michal Juras is that maniac from the photo. Have to do some digging to find the clip tho.

I’m an infrastructure nerd so this is instantly one of my favorite covers of all time.
Here’s the Mega Structures episode about the Bay Bridge.

I always found it strange how mags would put out issues about two months out ahead of time. Like... it's mid July - and they've got the September issue out?? It's not even august yet LOL.

Dope cover and back-story. theyre damn lucky to have gotten out that easily, and gotten their shit back!

The month on the front is the month they take it off shelves. It's so the magazine never looks dated on a shelf.

It's how a lot of mags keep their shelf life to get bought and not tossed in the trash.
