Many thanks to everyone who came down to The Wayward Gallery on Friday to help us celebrate the launch of The Edition. All photos by Henry Kingsford.
You might have guessed by now that The Edition is a newspaper. The Guardian printed it for us and last week we were invited to their print centre in Stratford to pass press. It was amazing to see the project so many have worked so hard on coming off the press, 5000 copies in fifteen minutes! We were given a guided tour of the press and even were allowed to shoot some photos, a selection of which you can see below. Don’t miss the launches in London tonight and Liverpool, Bristol and Leeds tomorrow night.
Last summer Neil Smith turned pro for the second time. You can find out more in Will Harmon’s feature piece on Smithy in The Edition, with photography by Lex Kembery. If you need a reminder of Smithy’s skills, here’s his ‘going pro’ part, also from last summer.
Sam Ashley
Arguably the UK’s best skateboard photographer, Sam was photo editor at Document magazine before moving over to Sidewalk and Kingpin in late 2008. We asked Sam to pitch an idea for a photo feature for The Edition and he came up with a London-based sequel to Nike SB’s ‘One Night in Paris’.
Ben Powell
Few people have contributed as much to the UK skate scene as Ben Powell. He has held the role of editor at Sidewalk magazine since it was founded in 1995, and worked for RAD magazine before that. For The Edition, we asked Ben to interview his good friend and fellow Yorkshireman, Tom Harrison, about balancing the life of a sponsored skater with that of a successful young entrepreneur.
Jacob Sawyer
Anyone who spends any time in London’s Slam City Skates will know Jacob Sawyer, veteran shop employee and dedicated skate rat. Jacob wrote a couple of pieces for The Edition, our favourite being an article about The Pool, a temporary BMX park in a derelict ‘70s swimming pool in Dagenham. Luckily a couple of nights last summer were set aside for skateboarding…
Mark Whiteley
Mark was editor at Slap magazine, before recently taking a position at Nike SB taking care of social media. Slap was a breath of fresh air in the skateboard media, a magazine featuring everyone you wanted to see, great writing, arty photos and a raw, zine-like feel. For The Edition, we asked Mark to write about last summer’s epic three-day launch of the P-Rod 5 shoe in Barcelona.
Wig Worland
Wig is very well-respected within the field of skateboard photography, credited for pushing the technical side and always interested in the next piece of kit that could help achieve a sharper, better-lit image. We asked Wig and Colin Kennedy to choose some of their favourite photographs from Colin’s lengthy professional career for his retrospective in The Edition.

The Edition will feature an article on last summer’s P-Rod 5 launch, for which Nike SB invited skateboarders from all over the world to Barcelona. The commercial for the shoe was filmed entirely in Barcelona and features some serious moves from Paul.
