Might be a shock, but it's been a long time coming. This is our first print offering since 2019. What we always heard the most was, "Man, I miss the Photo Annuals."

So when we got the chance to make a print issue this year, it was a no brainer.

For the cover, Mike Blabac had this epic photo of Jimmy Wilkins frontside Ollieing at Tony Hawk's ramp. Mike used studio photography techniques: A snoot on a professional strobe, to make a Broadway-style spotlight on the wall. Then he had Jimmy fly right into it. The thought behind it, the mix of creative photography and one of the best styles in skating—this one screamed Photo Annual.

Link to order will be live this Friday, December 5.

Had fun surprising Jimmy next to the ramp where the photo was taken:
