Editor's Letter

Ryan Smith, gap to frontside boardslide [ o ] mike blabac

This 8.5"x11" perfect bound book is a testament to skateboarding and the celebration of the re-kindled pride and passion that each and every name in the magazine possesses. Maybe you can’t quite understand what we’re doing in that parking lot or alleyway and you probably can’t fathom why a grown man or woman would need anything past a mode of transportation. It’s probably because we come from somewhere else, this Never-never Land type place where children refuse

to grow up and thrive on a whole other realm of ideas. This issue was about taking risks and avoiding the repercussions of this self destructiveness we take part in each day.-Sandro

It’s interesting that the design of this issue was a tattered old bankbook from the 1930’s because it certainly was a struggle that nearly broke the bank to get out the first issue of Color and we were all left with scars from the process The premier issue of Color set the pace for those that followed.

Dedicated to the late Angela Allen.
