When I got my first apartment after moving out of my parents’ I went full-on junior high with wall-to-wall magazine page paneling that pulled heavily from the old TWS photo issues with lots of full-bleeds, “Sightings” and now-vintage DCSHOECOUSA ads. Jim Greco’s switch kickflip down the old Med Choice gap in the Nirvana shirt was featured, and I think a Neal Mims roof gap 360 flip. This is one of several reasons I could not run a scans blog, alongside a fuzzboxed memory bank when it comes to who had ads in what issue and generally being shitty at scanning I think. But on top of the Cory Kennedy sequence from the Transworld below there were at least four pages I’d tear out of the new Skateboard Mag if I was doing up a new wall, starting with this Ryan Lay 5-0 — the perilously close-to-the-wall switch b/s lipslide a few pages later is another one* and so is Anthony Schultz’s bump-to-fence blaster on page 112. Anybody care to guess what the fourth one is?
*They’d have to be on different sides of the room though because I’m not about to put two photos of the same dude right next to one another, bad form etc

Hmmm…something involving energy drinks or beef jerky? Or an US Army advert?

I actually would put all the photos of the same dudes together. The walls of my bedroom were like a bunch of mini-shrines. Kalis, Howard, Carroll, Ed, etc.

dude, you mean the neal mims ‘balcony gap’, from apartment to apartment? feel like the footage was in transmission 7 or something, but yeah, besides getting drunk for a decade, wearing xyz clothing, and telling a seymour cassell security guard that his skate could annihilate, that was the most Beyond mims ever got.

The ‘balcony gap’ was the one, right. As far as the other photo from the current TSM it was Chima’s switch backside heelflip with all the pretty clouds.
