Renown sportscaster Rupert Safkin has discovered a new sensation that is sweeping the nation: The sport of Skateboarding! Displaying peculiar prowess at this wild new craze, Mr Safkin rolls us through the hot moves of this groove he has come to admire. Check out his splendid reports on the streets, ramps and hotspots throughout the country complete with never before seen footage of daredevil skateboarders as they perform the most incredible stunts.

The summer of '99 was the last of the century and everyone had to get their licks in before the end of the world. All of the hottest tricks that went down are in this box, so you'd better wear potholders when putting this in your VCR.

Every skater is a timebomb. In here you'll see pros that have detonated and continue to wreak havoc alongside underground rippers who are ready to blow up on the scene. You can't stop time. Tick...tick...tick...

Skate harassment is at an all-time high and the battle will never be over. To a cop, nothing is more sacred than a sweet donut. Come between the man and his jelly filled delight and feel the wrath. Step into the shoes of heavyweight patrolmen Hank DeSouza and Dennis Marino as they quench their sadistic appetites for apprehending rag-tag crews of skaters who continually destroy public property within their jurisdiction. As always the names that appear have been changed to protect the guilty.

If you made every trick you tried, skateboarding would suck. Broken bones are what it's all about, so here it is: Hall of Meat, the video that shows you the pain while the world goes insane.

What's it gonna take to roll away? Deny the consequences of failure and recognise the ability to stick it. Commiting is about you yourself, and your board. The glory is singular, for nobody else. Go for broke.

They come from all walks of life and every city in the universe to San Francisco for the dream of becoming a skateboard superstar. The migration is constant and because the magazine is here it is not unusual to find a skater out there who is willing to throw down if there is a camera around. The media is somewhat responsible for sponsorship but in reality, if you are worthy of adulation, it will come to you. We titled this video "Sponsor Me!" for all those screaming kids throughout the world who want to know what it takes to become the next skateboard celebrity. In between our victories and defeat we ask ourselves "What is sponsorship?"

Some groups of skaters are classified as teams. At Globe there are only riders. Riders who define skateboarding through their unique character and perspectives on their world. Opinion, skateboarding: to each his own.
