Zach Graham at the most played out spot in Atlanta. We lit this spot up but were kicked out in under ten minutes. Zach charges an over noseblunt while security stands watching dirty.

This trick seriously looks fake. Who thinks to lip slide a long ledge over water? Even though Brandon's board went in the water a few times he didn't care. He pulled through and held this long lipslide to the end.

One day we snuck into this abandon car dealership and tried to make everything inside skateable. One of the alterations we made was this pole jam over a carpet gap Dave Greer is flying over.

Travis Glover practiced for months at the skate park for this backtail.

Good ol' Candler Woods bringing his tranny skills to the street with this backside crailslide.

Candler Woods wallies a city barrier over a gnarly drop in a deserted Atlanta hill.

After dodging cars, throwing down across six lanes of traffic, and taking verbal abuse from Rhett and Chris, Stephen "Venner" Criger front boards a rail in busy downtown Atlanta. Some chump.

Venner's nollie full cab over this planter is cool and all but Garrett Ollinger switch flipped it!

Venner saked on this rail at least three times. Smashing your balls on hard metal doesn't effect a man child. Venner holds on to this long feeble all the way to the bottom.

This mountain of concert lies at a automotive plant. To skate it you have to park about a mile away, climb up on train tracks, and hope over about 3 fences. Venner nollies into the beast for a wild ride.

After Venner landed a trick he had been trying for a few weeks, he decided to try something new. Just messing around he started trying to wallie over the ledge to flat. In a just few tries he pulled a perfect wallie over this ledge.

Believe it or not this is a pole jam. Venner roles up a small bank and pole jams a very tall straight pole off a drop.

This bank is gnarly! Rhett got worked on this fakie frontside flip under Atlanta's public transpiration train, the MARTA. Skating this bank didn't get us kicked out of this spot, me being up on the train's bridge did.

This bank sits at a really yuppie apartment complex on the out skirts of Atlanta. Their idea of skate stopping the bank made the spot more appealing to Rhett by backside flipping over their "stoppers".

Rhett backside 180s over the bush divider between an abandon studio and apartment complexes in east Atlanta.

This spot is at some broke ass business complex. After sweeping the window glass out of the way in the roll up that some mark ass's broke out, Rhett pulls through with a 180 then a switch front shove.

Rhett Freeman 5-0 shove while cars leave the city.

Rhett charges through traffic to a spot seen by everybody but skated by nobody with an ollie to ollie to wallie to land on a narrow sidewalk.

I remember when Rhett took us to this spot. It's some broke ass double set leading up to a play ground in the middle of the ghetto. The narrow bank he's 180ing is made out of rough concert and lined with cracks. Typical east coast style.

All jokes aside this thing is gnarly! Just dropping in on this bank is enough to get you worked. Rhett's face in the last couple frames tells the story of this ollie to manual.

ON THE COVER: "After I shot this photo, I told Neen that he should use this heelflip as a silhouette trademark. Like the Michael Jordan slam dunk icon. That heelflip is gold right there." These were Seu Trinh's words as he dropped off his photos from his recent NYC trip with Supra. We couldn't have said it any better. His leg kicked so far straight it's parallel to his board, that tweak on his back foot... We said it before and we'll say it again: Neen Williams has the best heelflip in the game.
