Prior to the global pandemic we had just returned from a trip to California where we joined Sky Brown and Rayssa Leal. It was positioned as a small skate-trip (riding in the van was included), that was when the world was another way—We began to realize that the road trip has more lessons to offer us in this moment than previously thought, while it is a reminder of our desire for interconnectedness, it is also a reminder that movement (traveling near or far) brings wonder and awe to our lives. Through it all, travel always continues and so skateboarding and the road trip will also continue. In this issue we celebrate Allysha Le’s prominent place in the global skate scene, the emerging talent of Haylie Powell (Australia) and among others the amazing Jordan Santana (Texas) who is on the path to skate during next year’s Olympics, Paris 2024!
