App Description

The vision of SBJ is this: to respect and honor skateboard history, both the neglected aspects and the over-exposed elements, while supporting the free evolution of all skateboarding disciplines as entities unto themselves– with individual subcultures that need not be chained to Old School nostalgia nor artifically steered down a narrow course.

Interviews and features with skateboarders from all eras and all disciplines: street, vert, longboarding, racing, freestyle and just plain old skating. In this second decade of this new century, all-around skateboarding is once again enjoying a renaissance, just as it did in the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s, Approaches that were considered “alternative” for the last twenty years – such as longboarding, slalom, downhill, all-purpose cruising, and flatland freestyle – are now more readily accepted. SBJ will treat all of these time-honored aspects of skateboarding with the respect they deserve.

The Skateboarder’s Journal will delve into all dimensions of skateboarding – culture, history, art, travel, technology and the future. We will also bring you photography from the world’s best skate photographers.

Content is foremost. It will be presented in a clean, classic format that focuses your attention on what’s important, not on indulgent graphic design.
