We know it came as a surprise, but the TransWorld SKATEboarding 2025 Photo Annual has been in the works for a minute. We haven’t put anything on paper since 2019, and the one thing we kept hearing over and over was how much folks missed the Photo Annuals. The feeling was mutual—so did we!
So when the opportunity popped up to bring a print issue back into the world, we didn’t even have to think twice. It was an easy yes. And we're stoked to announce that it's officially available now! Get yours here.
For the cover, Mike Blabac had this epic photo of Jimmy Wilkins frontside Ollieing at Tony Hawk’s ramp. Mike used studio photography techniques: A snoot on a professional strobe, to make a Broadway-style spotlight on the wall. Then he had Jimmy fly right into it. The thought behind it, the mix of creative photography and one of the best styles in skating—this one screamed Photo Annual.
The icing on the cake was rolling to Tony Hawk's ramp and surprising Jimmy with the cover. Check it out:
