Plank Skate Mag Issue 1

Contrary to the belief that print media is a dying format, we've got yet another brand new print skate mag to add to your collection - proving that, at least in skateboarding, print is still where it's at. Offering up a more literary take on your classic skate mag, Plank Skateboard Magazine is a must-have for any aspiring skate nerds with a load of bangin' features from some of the best in the business, ranging from thought-provoking to tongue-in-cheek, with a seriously stimulating layout that makes Free Skate Mag look chill. Find out more below!

Plank Skate Mag Issue 1 Heath Kirchart Retrospective

The brainchild of US-based skate journalist, Sam Korman - who you may also know from his blog, Waxing The Curb, and his work for Village Psychic - Plank Skate Mag combines long-form skate editorial with a variety of interesting topics outside of (but often tangential to) skateboarding including submissions from a load of all-time greats, including Ted Barrow, Ian Browning, Olly Todd, Matt Price and many more. Ranging from a career-spanning profile of Heath Kirchart to a deep-dive into the decline of late-night diners in New York, Plank Skate Mag Issue 1 manages to bring together an eclectic range of topics and formats - including interviews, photography, fiction and more - all of which deal in some way with the concept of night.

Plank Skate Mag Issue 1 Marimo Ohyama Photo Feature

On the skateboarding side of things, Plank offers up a load of unique perspectives with a selection of features that's more varied than Lucas Puig's bag of tricks. Plank Skate Mag Issue 1 includes and interview with Cass Lopez; photo features from Marimo Ohyama and Matt Price; a list of the best skate videos to fall asleep to as well as sleep tips from some of your favourite pros; poetry from Olly Todd; skate-themed horror stories and so much more. They've even got a recurring column dedicated to everyone's favourite topic: pants.

Plank Skate Mag Issue 1 Skate Videos To Fall Asleep To

However, if you're of the belief that there is, in fact, more to life than skateboarding (blasphemy, I know) then you'll be happy to hear that Plank Skate Mag also balances things out with a load of other top-quality content. With articles ranging from an interview with artist Mark Leckey to Tenko Nakajima's Tokyo bar crawl with her stepdad, alongside a load of top-quality photo features including Mexican street dogs and an exploration of the US/Mexico border from the late Barbara Ess; Plank Skate Mag is the perfect way to expand your intellectual horizons without forsaking your core skater identity.
