best cover was either march or july 08 becuase they were good shots and the colors made the mag very appealing
the worst was probably june because it was way to simple and plain.
December 31st, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Trapasso fo sho
December 31st, 2008 at 2:10 pm
July cause the Am issue is always ill and this cover just shows that Gravette is the new definition of gnar
December 31st, 2008 at 2:40 pm
no likes sheckler he aint guna win the mega tre flip all theway
December 31st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
march, cant beat big herm laying hammers
september, such a sick spot
December 31st, 2008 at 2:47 pm
what happened in october? its the only cover where the skater doesnt interact with the headline text. (besides feb) february is nice because its totally different from all the others and the subtile color in transworld is nice and since i know about the fully flared video it has more than one meaning to me. i dont know what is goin on in the june cover it looks like a giant letter I. the buyers guide is great the whole composition is very appealing and the range of color is great to see compaired to many of the other covers. could there be an overlying theme to all covers one year? so when you see them all together is makes some thing? just a thought… Nice job transworld team looking forward to next year

february may and october
December 31st, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I’d have to side with Blair on this one, Trapasso’s 5-0 on that rail is sick. The spot looks major sketchy too with the water on one side and the stair set on the other. I have to also give big ups to Ramondetta too cuz he’s sooo sick and he’s switchin it up with a trick we don’t see in the game much anymore. Damn… can we have a tie? I do have December signed by Ramondetta so I can’t make up my mind. U know what? Pick either one out of a hat and that’s my choice. Make sure it’s a fedora too.

B Herman.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I’m still feeling Slash’s June cover. Photo is soooooooooooo good!
December 31st, 2008 at 3:40 pm
dude sjut uo! sheckler is beast! stop hatin!!!!! your just ealous cuz you prob cant get the chicks like sheckler can! pay the kid some respect he most deff esrns it!!
December 31st, 2008 at 3:44 pm
kyle leeper or bryan herman
December 31st, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Trapasso
December 31st, 2008 at 4:04 pm
trapasso or pudwill, easily. slash’s was great too, but it’s too feckin hard to get a sense of wtf is going on, like which way is up/down etc. ramondetta is up there too, and gravette is an honorable mention for sure… multi kink in a few tries
December 31st, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Na, the November issue for sure, switch kickflip blunt, you cant beat that.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
leeper or trepasso
both are of the chain
leeper is under rated
trepsso= ctc bitches!
December 31st, 2008 at 6:31 pm

December 31st, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Chris Cole-November… hands down.
Rattray on the Buyers Guide would be my second choice.
and for the worst… February.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:13 pm
SILAS BAXTER-NEAL YOU BITCHES!!
December 31st, 2008 at 9:48 pm
February is sick, MJ with a clean looking back tail, but Slash’s June Cover is just a great photo. The trick is sick, and the photo just feels timeless and looks classic.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:16 pm
trepasso, new spot, sick style, and the only bad thing about it is that its black and white
December 31st, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Definately Trapasso!!
January 1st, 2009 at 12:54 am
Trapassos is boring, i dont see why anyone would like that cover.
i gotta love october or june. two very simple, amazing covers that display how simple and elegant skateboarding can be.
January 1st, 2009 at 1:26 am
I thought december was for sure the worst cover. just because you can do a no comply over a loading dock, doesn’t mean it deserves the cover. I think MJ’s back tail is DEFINITELY the best cover. classic trick; perfectly executed; unique spot. also at the time everyone was still psyched on the hype of fully flared and marc’s 13 minutes of pure gnardom. so then, contextually, it was an amazing choice for the cover.
January 1st, 2009 at 3:54 am
Joshnyc, you got straight no-complys on lock? Would love to see them. Good call on MJ though.
January 1st, 2009 at 9:25 am

January 2nd, 2009 at 5:05 pm
july for sure. yeah, other covers are rad and all, but you can’t beat simplicity and beautiful capture of that photo. you kids are all the same - the bigger, the better.
January 2nd, 2009 at 5:07 pm
* * * i meant JUNE, not july * * *
January 3rd, 2009 at 12:05 am
too bad he doesnt get chicks…..
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:41 am
Okay, so i would definetly pick daewon, kyle leeper, or slash. All of the covers were really good, but the worst would have to be ryan shecklers. Dont get me wrong, he is one of my favs, but its just too cluttered
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:51 am
