Magenta Skateboards: ‘Soleil Levant’ Review by Walker Ryan
A review by Walker Ryan About a month ago my grandmother bought a book for me entitled Zen in the Art of Archery. Grummy, as she’s known to all of her grandchildren, recommended the book with the foresight that I might find some parallels between my experiences as a skateboarder and the experiences of the author...
TheDeafWord: Nick Boserio Interview
When I spoke to Nick Boserio a few weeks ago he was in high spirits. After all, the beginning of The Cold War Tour was the next morning, he’d had a beer or two, and he expects to reside in the US by the end of the year. We spoke to Brass about his part...
TheDeafWord: Danny Garcia Interview
I had a few words with Danny alongside the Balmorhea Interrogation interview I did over at The Berrics surrounding Colin Kennedy’s great video (check it out below) and we got to talking some more. Danny’s solo project, “Reverend Baron” is definitely something to keep your ears open for, don’t let his modesty sidetrack you. Talk...
Sk8Mafia and Sweet Skateboards – ‘Stee’ Review by Walker Ryan
A Review by Walker Ryan When I was living in San Diego in the early summer of 2010, there was one particular afternoon that stands out in my memory as one of the best days I had in America’s finest city. It was a beautiful Friday in Pacific Beach and all...
TheDeafWord: Ben Powell and Andy Horsley Interview
Two hundred (and now one) issues. Wow. At the beginning of the landmark issue these guys insisted on not being featured. They believe it isn’t about them, it’s about the skateboarders, for us. Still, best to catch up with them, hear the story from the beginning, talk the forum and discuss all things right and...
Landmark Skate Tunes #10: Tommy Guerrero & Gadget – ‘Deep Sleep’
There are certain smells, sounds and collective fragments dispersed amongst our memories, which when we’re lucky enough to briefly recall them – albeit unintentionally or otherwise – that literally take us to that very moment when we first experienced them. Excuse the fact that this is the second chosen from Sight Unseen (and you know we could...

TheDeafWord: Matt Price Interview
Unknowingly making a satanic mockery of the Japanese culture, to the initial wrong interpretations of Fred Gall’s character, as well as Mike Anderson’s happy bloody smile. We caught up with Matt Price to hear some tales from behind the lens. He received the greatest kind of compliment you can get from Spike Jonze, and rightly...
TheDeafWord: Oliver Barton Interview
Spotting differences between continents, being gracefully bestowed cameras that hold skateboarding history, to the breaking point of JJ Rousseau. We recently spoke to Oliver Barton about Perpetual Motion, where to draw the line with authenticity and skating Kansas City on Halloween being the reaffirmation that skateboarding is going to be okay. Enjoy – Interview by Stephen...
