Bye bye Skateboarder

[Mad Max]

Wow!

I like their infographics even though I feel like it's a very trendy thing to do nowadays...

The magazine reminds me of a French publication called XXI (Vingt et un).

Sad times for print. Skateboarder was the best.

Speaking of WHSmiths, the one in the city centre of Portsmouth used to Sell Skateboarder for years which was handy.

Don't Something Awful accounts cost as well?

Who pays for porn?

I wonder what's going on here... I posted this on Instagram a week ago:

As you can see, one of the staff photogs there left a couple of comments saying that they're not going out of print... Hmmm.

According to their Insta (iirc) they will still be doing subscription/shop print copies - can't remember where I read it but I'm pretty sure that was the case.

Cheers Jon.
Surely the 'core fans' would be those that have already subscribed, who are now getting their subscriptions cancelled?

[Gray]

Stoked, seems like they've taken notice of some of the new smaller mags

[high-c]

Have subscribed to Skateboarder for a few year now so really gutted about that... Great mag. New(ish) bigger format didn't really do it for me but it was true quality.

[françois]

photos by good guys like john bradford and brian gaberman deserve to be seen on paper

Word.

Is the last one the one with the joint Zered and Joey Pepper interview?

Yeah. Wes Kremer interview too.

I used to love Skateboarder but haven't seen it around for years, since Borders closed I think.

Never found it here but subs were cheap.
