''The Skateboard Mag'' is an independently published American skateboarding magazine that has published over 100 issues (in 2005 its circulation was approximately 90,000〔)〔 and featured professional skateboarder, Danny Way, on the cover of its inaugural issue, depicted mid-air while executing a trick on a construction known as the "Mega Ramp".〔 As of February 2005, the publication is owned by a group that consists of seven partners, while the magazine employs eleven full-time staff members.〔 ==History== Internal tensions between the magazine staff and AOL Time Warner prompted the resignation of several key editorial members, such as J. Grant Brittain, Dave Swift, and Atiba Jefferson, who later launched ''The Skateboard Mag'' publication (the first issue was published in April 2004〔). Jefferson, whose seminal mentor was Brittain, revealed in May 2012:
Jefferson's view was reinforced seven years earlier in an interview that Brittain participated in with the ''Union-Tribune'', whereby Jefferson's mentor stated, "We did not like the whole corporate deal, not knowing what was in every issue ad-wise. It wasn't about skateboarding anymore."〔 Other key members of ''The Skateboard Mag'' who moved across from ''Transworld Skateboarding'' were Art Director, Ako Jefferson (Atiba Jefferson's brother〔), writer, Kevin Wilkins, and general manager, Mike Mihaly (the three had worked a combined total of forty-four years for ''Transworld Skateboarding''). The first issue was released in March 2004, Issue #1 April 2004.〔(the skateboard MAG° » Shop ) 〕 As of October 2012, the editorial director of the magazine is Dave Swift, who is a former skateboard photographer and had worked for ''Transworld Skateboarding''. Veteran skateboard photographer Grant J. Brittain confirmed on October 7, 2014, that the Skateboard Mag publication, of which he is a photo editor for, has reached an collaborative agreement with the Berrics. Brittain published the announcement on his Instagram account: "We started a new endeavor, the Skateboard Mag is under The Berrics skateboarding umbrella." 〔http://instagram.com/p/t1JGQtS6YU〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Skateboard Mag」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
