Editor's Letter

Starting with the first cave paintings of our earliest ancestors, man has always sought to share his own personal vision of the world with the rest of humanity. It’s a drive and a passion that has survived hundreds of thousands of years up to present day. The need to relate our own unique personal vision has forced painters to paint, graffiti writers to write, novelists to type and skate filmers to create videos. And it is often the inspiration we’ve found in the work of another videomaker, photographer, skater or artist, that motivated us to create something unique of our own. The feeling of creating a moving moment with words, video, photography or art and seeing it inspire

others is so powerful that it becomes addictive. So much so, that it doesn’t matter how many company videos, web edits, skate mags, blogs or YouTube parts we’re forced to endure, there will always be an army of skaters who burn to create their own unique vision and use it to inspire the skateboarding world at large. The inspired and moved of today will be the creators and influencers of tomorrow. The cycle will continue and one day soon we will be watching or reading the work of those of you reading this magazine today and will be shaking our heads in amazement, humbled by the unique vision of the world with which you’ve just used to inspire us. —josh stewart
