R.I.P. Skateboarder Magazine

First introduced in 1964 as a quarterly publication, Skateboarder Magazine helped to pave the way not only for future skateboarding rags, but for the popularity of the sport itself. Thus, it comes with great sadness that the American magazine announces its end as GrindMedia is set to close the book on Skateboarder following the release of its third digital issue. Here, GrindMedia Senior Vice President & Group Publisher Norb Garrett speaks on the decision to pull the plug and shares some insights into what led to this outcome. What does this mean for the future of print publications, especially with regards to sports and culture? Share your thoughts below. #RIPSkateboarder
