- Description (Brief)
- This September 1999 edition of Skateboarder Magazine featured a memorial tribute to skateboarder Tim Brauch who died suddenly from a childhood heart condition. Skateboarder Magazine was first published as The Quarterly Skateboarder in 1964 but was changed to Skateboarder Magazine in 1965. It was only published for another year before the first wave of skateboarding ended but began publishing again in 1977 with Warren Bolster as the editor. Bolster was a photographer who specialized in skateboard photography and made Skateboarder Magazine the ‘standard’ during the second wave of skateboarding in the mid-1970s. The publication went ‘on hiatus’ during the 1980s as skateboarding’s second wave came to an end but was relaunched in 1997 with guest editor Tony Hawk. This helped establish the magazine on a bi-monthly basis once again and it continued to be published until 2013 when Grind Media closed the magazine down permanently.
